Mini dresses by Poupette St Barth: a signature of effortless elegance
Some dresses define a brand. At Poupette St Barth, the mini dress isn’t just part of the collection— it’s at the heart of it. From the moment the first style was imagined in the Caribbean light, it became clear that the mini dress was more than a garment. It was a way to move, to feel free, to embrace the day without ever compromising on style.
Year after year, our short dresses have become essentials in the wardrobes of women who love to travel light, feel the sun on their skin, and dress with ease. These are not trend-driven pieces. They’re thoughtful, handmade, and designed to bring beauty into everyday life. Whether you're heading out for the day or the night, our mini dresses are your perfect companion.
Whether you're looking for something soft and feminine, or sharp and graphic, our mini dresses adapt to the way you live. With prints that tell stories and cuts that celebrate movement, each one invites you to dress without overthinking. And to look beautiful without trying too hard.
Why the mini dress is our signature
We design for women who want freedom. The freedom to travel, to move, to dance, to do nothing at all. The mini dress is a natural companion to that lifestyle. It’s light. It fits in a regular bag. It doesn’t need heels. It doesn’t cling. It opens up the body and lets the breeze in.
But at Poupette St Barth, we take it further. Our mini dresses are cut with care. Each model is designed to flatter without restricting. The smocking is placed where it enhances the waist. The ruffles are added for volume, never for excess. The fabrics are chosen to feel soft, airy, and wearable from morning to night. The neckline and shoulders are carefully crafted to highlight your natural elegance, whether you choose a strapless design or delicate straps. We're constantly adding fresh colors to match every mood, from a relaxed beach day to a lively party night.
Mini Dress Sasha
This is the one people come back for. The Mini Dress Sasha is iconic. With its shirt-dress structure, flared hem and playful silhouette, it brings polish without effort. The sleeves add a bit of coverage, while the open neckline keeps it fresh and easy.
It works in almost any color or print. In navy, it’s chic and versatile. In bright floral, it’s joyful and unmistakably summery. It’s one of those dresses that women collect in different versions over the years. It becomes part of your regular wardrobe. You reach for it instinctively.
Wear it with sneakers for the city, with espadrilles on holiday, or over your swimsuit as a cover-up. The Mini Dress Sasha does it all—without ever looking like you tried too hard.
Mini Dress Aria
There’s a softness to the Mini Dress Aria that makes it instantly wearable. With its thin straps, floaty shape and subtle movement, it brings an air of lightness wherever it goes. Perfect for warm days, long walks, and slow mornings.
It has a more relaxed fit than some of our other minis, which makes it ideal for layering. Slip it over a bikini, wear it under a denim jacket, or let it speak on its own. It’s the kind of dress you want to wear barefoot, with your hair still drying from the ocean.
Aria looks especially beautiful in watercolor florals, pink tones, and soft pastels. But even in bolder colors like red or blue, it keeps that same energy—gentle, fluid, free.
Mini Dress Coco
For something more sculpted, the Mini Dress Coco brings a subtle structure to our collection. It hugs just enough to define the waist, but never feels tight. The neckline is feminine and open, while the skirt has a flirty volume that moves beautifully.
Coco is perfect for a daytime date, a vacation dinner, or an afternoon spent exploring. In classic white, it feels fresh. In red, it becomes a statement. In black, it becomes quietly seductive. And in print, it dances.
We love it with minimal sandals and a woven crossbody bag. Add sunglasses, a touch of lipstick, and let the dress do the work. This is one of those pieces that you’ll see marked as sold out quickly —a seasonal favorite.
Mini Dress Cara
The Mini Dress Cara takes inspiration from our longer cuts but brings it to a shorter silhouette. It’s romantic but not delicate. The bodice is clean, with just the right amount of shaping, and the skirt flows with a quiet rhythm.
It’s one of our favorites for its versatility. You can wear it during the day with flats and a bag. Then dress it up at night with heels and bold jewelry. Cara is graceful, but never too serious.
It’s also incredibly flattering. The proportions are balanced. The volume is soft but controlled. Whether you wear it in ivory, blush, or navy, it adapts to your energy. A delicate bow on the shoulder adds a playful, feminine touch, making it effortlessly charming from every angle.
Mini Dress Celie
Celie is playful. Designed with a youthful spirit, it features sweet details like subtle frills, a defined waist and light, bouncy volume. But don’t be fooled—it’s still refined.
The Mini Dress Celie is perfect for weekends. It works for brunches, market visits, casual dinners, and everything in between. In floral, it brings charm. In monochrome, it gets a bit more grown-up.
What makes Celie special is its lightness. You forget you’re wearing it, but everyone else notices. It has that effect. With its no-sleeve design and bare shoulder cut, it adds a playful yet elegant touch. The asymmetrical silhouette enhances its modern feel. It adjusts with ties delicately fastened at the waist and shoulder for a perfect fit. Pair it with a regular bag and go.
Mini Dress Corinne
The Mini Dress Corinne brings in a more relaxed fit. It’s slightly oversized, without losing shape. The neckline is wide and open, giving space for necklaces or sun-kissed skin. The sleeves are soft. The hem has movement.
This is the dress you wear when you don’t want to think too much. You just want to be comfortable, cool, and still feel put-together. It also comes in a strapless version with a ruched bodice—a fresh take for summer.
It looks great with flat slides and a raffia bag. Perfect for beach towns, summer cities, or those quiet Sundays when the plan is simply to feel good in your clothes.
Mini Dress Ciao
Ciao is fun. A bit cheeky. A dress made for movement, for music, for moments you don’t schedule. It’s shorter than some of our other styles, with a clean neckline and a skirt that flares just enough to catch the wind.
It’s a party dress. A dress for rooftop evenings, for dancing barefoot, for taking with you wherever the night leads. But it’s still Poupette—it’s still light, handmade, thoughtful.
In prints, it feels like vacation. In black, it’s surprisingly elegant. In white, it becomes a summer staple. In blue, it adds vibrancy to any evening.
Mini Dress Cassandra
The Mini Dress Cassandra is the perfect blend of minimalism and femininity. Sleeveless with a sleek high neck, it features an open back framed by two flowing fabric panels that cross delicately before cinching the waist. The clean lines and soft drape give it a modern, effortless feel.
It’s one of our favorites for its versatility. Wear it with sandals and a tote for a relaxed daytime look, then switch to heels and statement jewelry for a chic party vibe. Cassandra is refined but never overdone.
It’s also incredibly flattering. The proportions are balanced, and the lightweight material moves with you. Available in timeless colors and designed to suit every size, it’s finished with subtle detail at the shoulder for an added touch of elegance.
Mini Dress Chiara
The Mini Dress Chiara is effortlessly elegant with a touch of playful charm. Its pleated V-neck at the front and back is framed with delicate lace and finished with a soft bow at the front, adding a feminine touch. The flowing, ruffled skirt brings movement and lightness, perfect for any occasion.
Its long, slightly balloon sleeve creates a balanced silhouette, while a smocked band at the back cinches the waist, enhancing the natural fall of the neckline. Chiara transitions seamlessly from day to evening—wear it with sandals for a relaxed look or dress it up with heels for a more polished vibe.
Available in a range of timeless colors and designed to flatter every regular size, Chiara is all about effortless sophistication. Adding just the right amount of detail, it’s a piece you’ll keep reaching for.
How to style your mini dress
The beauty of the mini dress is that it doesn’t need much. But the right accessories can make it your own.
For daytime, wear a white Mini Dress Cara or Sasha with simple sandals, a crossbody bag and gold hoops. Add a straw hat if you’re spending time outdoors. For something softer, try the Mini Dress Celie with sneakers and a denim jacket—it’s casual but sweet.
If you’re heading out in the evening, go for a Mini Dress Coco in a rich print or a navy version of the Mini Dress Ciao. Pair it with a bold earring, a clutch, and low heels. Let your hair down. Let the dress speak.
Adding the right shoulder bag elevates the look. And for high summer, a ruched or strapless mini adds that touch of exclusivity.
Our prints, our fabrics, our promise
Every print in our collection is exclusive to Poupette St Barth. We design them in our studio, inspired by nature, light, and travel. No mass production. No borrowed patterns. Each print is developed in limited colours and applied with care.
Our fabrics are chosen for how they move. For how they feel against your skin. Most are made of lightweight viscose or cotton voile. Breathable, soft, and ideal for warm-weather living. They don’t stick, don’t weigh you down. They’re made for days that stretch out, and nights that don’t end too early.
And because each dress is cut and finished by hand in Bali, where our atelier works closely with artisans we’ve known for years, you’ll find subtle irregularities in every piece. That’s not a flaw— it’s the proof that a human hand touched it.
Why women come back to our mini dresses
It’s simple. Once you’ve worn one, it’s hard to wear anything else. The cut feels right. The weight feels light. The compliments feel effortless. Whether you're in Saint-Tropez or Miami, Ibiza or Tulum, a Poupette mini dress fits.
It doesn’t need to be the center of attention. But it always feels like it belongs. On your skin. In your suitcase. In your life.
