Choosing a mini dress
A mini dress ends at mid thigh, so the rest of the dress does the balancing. Long sleeves, a higher neckline or a looser shape keep it easy to wear, while a fitted mini suits a night out. Check the length measurement against your height, since the same dress sits shorter on a taller frame. For anything with a dress code stricter than cocktail, a mini is usually too short.

A mini dress has a hem well above the knee, usually at mid thigh. Anything shorter is often called a micro mini, and a hem at the knee or below is a midi.
Can you wear a mini dress to a wedding?
Sometimes. A mini can work for a casual or cocktail wedding if the fabric is dressy and the cut is modest. For formal and black tie weddings choose a longer hem.
