Midi Dresses FAQs

What is a midi bra dress?

Midi bra dresses have the classic midi dress look you’d expect, only with a bra built in. Whether you’re dressing up for a day of work or enjoying dinner and drinks in the evening, a midi dress with a built-in bra makes it easier to get ready.

These types of dresses can also be more comfortable for some women because the bra stays in place better. The best part is that the padding is thin enough that the bra doesn’t stand out or change the appearance of the dress.

Are midi dresses flattering?

Midi dresses are a favorite among women because they tend to be flattering for all body types. The long, flowing style of midi-length dresses creates a flattering silhouette, and the bottom of the dress helps draw attention to the slimmest part of your legs.

Short dresses typically fall just above or near the knee, while midi dresses fall around the mid-calf area–somewhere between the knee and ankle. This length can help elongate the leg.

While midi dresses for women are more or less universally flattering, the key is finding a style that complements you. You can also choose between midi dresses with straps or sleeves and various waistline heights to create the ideal proportions for your body type and accentuate the areas you want to draw attention to.
