Effie Kats Pink and Blue Dresses: Taffy, Parfait, Ice Pink, Ice Blue and Aspen Explained, and the 12 to Buy

Effie Kats’ pale colours are seasonal, which is why they are searched by name: Taffy Pink, Parfait, Ice Pink, Blush, Ice Blue, Aspen and Steel Blue come and go, and the colour you saw at a wedding last spring may not be made this spring. Luxury Handbags stocks 16 pink and blue pieces in September 2026 across the core gowns and the separates. This guide explains each shade, the pieces to buy while they are in stock, who wears which, and how to build a bridesmaid line-up from them.

Key facts

  • 16 pink and blue Effie Kats pieces at Luxury Handbags across Taffy Pink, Parfait Pink, Ice Pink, Blush, Ice Blue, Aspen and Steel Blue.
  • The pinks sit on the Verona, Marbella, Monroe and Addison gowns and the Jackie and Peyton dresses at $480 to $620; the blues on the Verona, Marbella, Monroe, Havilland and Kaja gowns, the Alba Dress and the Esper and Kayson separates.
  • These are seasonal colourways: the brand reissues its core gowns in fresh colours each season and a pale shade often does not return, so the size run is the size run.
  • Sizes XS to XL (AU and UK 6 to 14); the same stretch crepe as the black, so the pale gowns are fully lined and not sheer.
  • Bridesmaid line-ups are usually built on one gown in one colour across sizes; the Verona and Marbella in Ice Blue and Taffy Pink are the most bought for that purpose.

The pinks and the blues

Taffy Pink is a warm candy pink with some depth, the boldest of the pinks and the one that reads as pink from across a room. Parfait is a pale, soft pink with a little peach in it, the gentlest. Ice Pink is pale and cool, close to a blush with no peach. Blush, on the Jackie and Peyton, is a dusty rose. Ice Blue is a pale powder blue, cool and clean, and the colour that photographs best outdoors. Aspen is a soft blue-grey on the jersey separates. Steel Blue, on the Alba Dress, is a mid blue with grey in it and the only deep blue in the range. Taffy and Ice Blue for daylight and summer, Parfait and Ice Pink for spring, Blush and Steel Blue for the evening.

Pale separates

The Esper Bodysuit in Aspen with the Kayson Skirt in Aspen is the blue-grey two-piece the brand designed to be worn together, and the Kaja Gown in Ice Blue at $520 is the more constructed blue gown. Over any of the pale gowns the Olympia Cape in ivory is the arrival layer; the black one is too heavy against pink.

Building a bridesmaid line-up

Pick one gown and one colour and buy across sizes: the Verona is the safest because its straight neckline suits every bust, the Marbella the most flattering on a mixed line-up because its bustier supports. Ice Blue and Taffy Pink photograph best in a group. Order early, because the pale colours are seasonal and the size run does not get restocked; the brand offers bridesmaid consultations by appointment in Melbourne, and Luxury Shoes ’s 14-day return window covers a size swap. Mixed necklines in one colour, the Verona, Marbella, Monroe and Inaya all in Ice Blue, is the modern version and it works because the fabric and the waist are identical across the four.
