The mini dresses, ranked

1. Circle Mini Dress in Black, $2,310

One circular drape in 100% wool on a black mini. The simplest sculptural dress in the range, the easiest to wear, and a winter piece.

2. Bow Volant Corset Mini Dress in Black, $2,790

A boned corset, an oversized bow and a volant hem in polyester satin. The mini version of the house gown, for a black-tie-optional evening.

3. Bow Drape Gazar Cocktail Dress in Black, $2,150

A single bow drape in gazar across a cocktail dress. Technically a cocktail length; in practice the sharpest short dress the house makes.

4. Pussy Bow Circle Organza Mini Dress in Light Green, $2,470

Silk organza with a pussy bow at the neck and a circle drape, in the pale green the house has used for three seasons.

5. All-Over Volants Organza Mini Dress in Black, $3,600

Silk organza volants edge to edge, lined in viscose. The top of the entire range at $3,600 and the mini the atelier is most present in.

6. Tulle Ruffle Circle Mini Dress in Light Green, $2,310

Polyamide tulle ruffle cut in a circle, in light green. The party dress of the group.

7. Circle Satin Mini Dress in Black, $2,630

The circle drape in polyester satin instead of wool; lighter, shinier, and a summer version of the first pick.

8. Volant Organza Mini Dress in Off White, $3,110

Silk organza volants over a cotton-silk lining in off-white. The city-hall wedding dress and the rehearsal-dinner dress.

9. Bow Drape Gabardine Cocktail Dress in Green, $2,150

The bow drape in cotton gabardine, for daytime: a garden wedding, a summer lunch.

10. Circle Mini Dress in Purple, $2,630

The circle mini in purple polyester. The colour alternative to the black wool version.

11. Pussy Bow Circle Organza Mini Dress in Black, $2,470

The pussy bow circle in black silk organza.

12. Bow Volant Corset Mini Dress in Purple, $2,790

The bow volant corset mini in deep purple satin, for a wedding guest.

13. Tulle Ruffle Circle Mini Dress in Black, $2,310

The tulle ruffle circle mini in black.

14. Volant Organza Mini Dress in Black, $3,110

The volant organza mini in black, silk over a silk and wool lining.

How to choose between them

Choose by how much volume you want and how much structure. Least volume: the circle minis, one drape on a fitted-through-the-body dress. Structure: the bow volant corset minis, boned and fitted. Volume without structure: the tulle ruffle circle minis and the volant organza minis, which stand away from the body on their own. Maximum: the all-over volants organza minis. For a first Viktor & Rolf dress the black wool circle mini is the safe buy; for the piece people will ask about, the all-over volants. The bows guide and the tulle and organza guide go deeper into the two fabrics.

Styling

A plain heel, bare ears, a small bag. With the circle and corset minis a sheer black tight in winter; with the organza and tulle minis bare legs and a sandal. Over the top, the Volant Organza Jacket in Black ($3,260) for evening, the Couture Wool Square Blazer in Black ($2,570) for a dinner.

Fit and sizing

All are listed XXS to XXL and run true to size. The bow volant corset minis are fitted through a boned bodice, so size up if you are between sizes; the circle minis are close through the body; the tulle and organza minis are regular. Dry clean only, and steam rather than press the tulle and organza. See the size guide. Shop on the Viktor and Rolf brand page and across mini dresses at Luxury Shoes .
