Beaded Mini Dresses

Beaded mini dresses take the weight and sparkle of a flapper dress and cut it above the knee, so they move freely on a dance floor. The styles here come in black, pink, brown and burgundy. For longer hemlines and more colors, browse all our beaded flapper dresses.

Black Beaded Mini Dress for Evening Events

A black beaded mini dress is the safest pick for a cocktail party, an office party or New Year's Eve: it looks dressy without needing a long gown, and it suits gold-tone and silver-tone jewelry equally well. Add sheer black tights in winter, a feather headband for a Gatsby theme and a small clutch, so the beading stays the center of attention.

Pink Beaded Mini Dress for Birthdays and Parties

Pink reads softer and more playful. It suits a birthday, a bachelorette party or a spring event, and it photographs well in daylight. Pair it with nude or silver-colored heels and keep jewelry light: one faux pearl strand or a pair of small earrings is enough next to the beads.

Brown and burgundy are the quieter colors on this page. They look rich under warm evening light and go well with gold-tone accessories and dark tights.

Pink or Black Beaded Mini Dress: Fit and Care

Beaded fabric has little stretch, so check the bust, waist and hip measurements on each size chart rather than going by your usual letter size. A short dress also rides up when you sit or dance; if you are between sizes, the larger one usually hangs better.

Follow the care label first. In general, beaded dresses are best spot cleaned or hand washed in cold water, never wrung, and dried flat so the weight of the beads does not pull the fabric out of shape.

Beaded Mini Dress FAQ

What shoes go with a beaded mini dress?

Low or mid-height heels with a strap, such as T-strap or Mary Jane styles, fit the 1920s look and are comfortable for dancing.

Are beaded mini dresses heavy?

They weigh more than plain fabric dresses because of the beads, but the short length keeps the weight manageable. The product description gives the fabric details for each dress.

Can I wear a beaded mini dress to a wedding?

Yes, as a guest at an evening or 1920s-themed wedding. Black, burgundy and brown are safe choices that never compete with the bride.
