Costarellos Cocktail Dresses: Embellished Minis and Sequin Midis

Costarellos cocktail dresses come in two lengths: embellished minis from $1,290, led by the Palla crystal tulle mini at $2,940, and sequin and lace midis from $3,000, led by the pink Capria and Harlee. Both are built with the same hand embroidery as the gowns, so a short Costarellos dress still reads as eveningwear. Most styles are made in UK 6 to UK 18 and fit true to size.

Embellished mini dresses

The Palla mini is the most embellished short dress in the collection: French tulle with a plunging V neckline, covered in hand-applied crystals. It comes in Light Rose, Sage Green and Black at $2,940. The Elitta mini ($2,480) has a structured corset in French tulle with hand-beaded velvet florals, a good choice for a dinner where you want shape. The Orissa halter mini in Navy Blue ($3,100) is from the Pre-Fall 2026 Fall in Bloom story, in lurex satin with sculptural petals and crystals. Shop more in our mini dresses.

Crepe minis for day to night

If you want a short dress with less shine, look at the crepe styles. The Tazia mini ($2,430) is an A-line with a round neck, finished with the season’s golden Oasis appliqué. The Anora mini ($2,320) has a V neck and a layered floral appliqué, and it comes in Pink and Off White. Both can go from a lunch to an evening event with a change of shoes. The Claudie floral-cut satin tunic ($1,290) and the Vianna mohair mini with ostrich feathers ($1,450) are the least expensive way into the label.

Pink sequin dresses

Pink sequins are a strong part of the Pre-Fall 2026 collection. The Capria midi ($3,260) is sleeveless with a round neck and sculptural 3D floral blooms. The Harlee dress ($3,970) is strapless, cut entirely in pink sequins, with floral sequin work along the hem and a peek-a-boo side slit. For a split version, the Anora sequin pencil skirt ($2,480) uses the same pink sequins and floral hem, and it pairs with the Crissy sequin floral jacket.

Lace and velvet midis

The Leona cami midi ($3,110) is hand-beaded French lace on crystal straps, a simple shape with a lot of handwork in it. The Biona ($3,100) is a knee-length sequined lace cami with a scalloped hem. The Isabetta ($3,000) sets a structured cotton velvet bustier against Chantilly lace and pleated tulle trims. For a sleeved option, the Arla in Green ($3,670) has long sleeves and floral appliqués at the hem. Browse the rest in our midi dresses.

How to wear a Costarellos cocktail dress

Let the embroidery do the work. With a crystal mini such as the Palla, keep jewellery small and choose a plain shoe. With a sequin midi, a sleek bag and bare skin at the neck are enough. Costarellos cuts most styles true to size in UK 6 to UK 18 (FR 34 to FR 46), and the model on the house site is 180cm wearing FR 36, so a mini falls lower on a shorter frame than it does in the photographs. The Vianna mohair mini is made in letter sizes, XS to XL.
