Alessandra Rich Mini Dresses: Tweed, Polka Dot, Lace, Velvet

The Alessandra Rich mini is the party half of the house: the same defined waist and collar as the midi, cut above the knee in tweed bouclé with bows, polka-dot silk with a draped hip, lace, velvet and sequins. Luxury Handbags has 39 on sale from $1,226 to $4,663. This guide sorts them by fabric, with the shoe for each and the honest note on which ones are daytime and which are not.

Key facts

  • Count and price: 39 minis, $1,226 to $4,663, median $2,750.
  • Fabrics: tweed bouclé (plain, check and sequin), polka-dot and printed silk, silk jacquard, lace, velvet, wool crepe, moiré, taffeta.
  • Daytime minis: the tweeds, the wool crepe and the polka dots with a collar.
  • Evening minis: the lace, the velvet, the sequins and the draped silks.
  • Fit: true to Italian size, fitted through the waist; the tweeds have no give, so take the size that closes.

The tweed minis

The house’s daytime mini: wool bouclé in a check with bows, a sleeveless sequin check, a black sequin tweed. With the matching jacket it is the tweed suit; alone, with a black knit and a slingback, it is the smart lunch. The tweed guide.

The polka-dot and printed minis

Polka dots with a collar, with ruffles, with pockets, draped at the hip; rose prints and bow prints in silk; a tartan wool mini with a lace-up. The collared dots are daytime, the draped ones are dinner.

The lace, velvet and sequin minis

Black lace with draping, velvet with lace, a silk jabot, a moiré with a lace-up, sequins. These are the cocktail dresses; a bare sandal, one cuff, a bags/clutch-bags/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">clutch.

The wool crepe minis

Black and white wool crepe with a bow and a pleated skirt in dark blue: the minis that work in an office because the fabric is serious.

Styling the mini

A heel, always; the proportion needs it. A pointed slingback for day, a peep-toe mule for evening, both in the ground colour. Sheer tights in winter, never opaque. The shoes guide.
