Tea-length skirts and dresses have been the undeniable trend for a few seasons now (especially of the satin variety!). However, now that we are in the midst of Spring, we feel an urge to celebrate all sundresses, no matter the hem length! When we keep getting in stunners like the three above, can you blame us?

From mini to maxi and everything in-between, Otra Vez has you covered. Come shop our full selection in store during our weekday hours from 11 am - 6 pm or Saturdays from 10 am - 5 pm!

Above the Knee

Fun and flirty, the above the knee hem is perfect for a party dress and you simply can’t go wrong with Self-Portrait when it comes to party dresses. The real question is how to style it! When in doubt, stick to a simple shoulder bag: a long crossbody may interfere with the hem length, whereas the shorter straps will ensure you can comfortably carry your purse. Shop an assortment of our designer purses online now!

Tea-Length, Please

Hitting somewhere in the zone of your calf, a tea-length dress can sometimes give a matronly feeling if you aren’t used to the in-between hem! To combat that old fashioned vibe, we recommend 1. buying a super chic fit like this Michael Kors Collection silk number with it’s flattering side seams and 2. pairing it with trendy designer sneakers. We have an assortment of Golden Goose SuperStars available online now and even more sleek sneaks in-store!

Full for Me

The way this full-length maxi in the ‘Day Dress’ style from Buru moved with the wind had us totally enchanted during this photoshoot! However, the cherry-on-top had to be the Lady Dior chocolate brown nylon purse. Top handle totes have definitely been trending lately; the effortlessly feminine feel that comes from combining a swishing maxi dress with a prim designer purse is absolutely perfect for Spring 2021!
