Short Sleeve Midi Dresses

A midi dress with short sleeves is a mid-length dress — typically finishing between the knee and ankle — with sleeves that cover the upper arm or shoulder. At Pink City Prints, every short sleeve midi dress is handcrafted in Jaipur from soft cotton, using block printing, screen printing and embroidery.

By day, flat leather sandals, a basket bag and layered jewellery. For evenings, swap to a wedge heel and a statement earring; for cooler weather, layer a soft cardigan or denim jacket over the top. The mid-length cut works with sandals, boots and almost anything in between.

Most of them do. We add pockets wherever the shape allows, often tucked neatly into the side seams so they don't interrupt the silhouette. You'll find midi dresses with pockets across our gathered bodice and tiered styles. Each product page will say clearly whether pockets are included.

Yes — the breathable cotton feels light against the skin, and the shorter sleeves keep the dress cool through warmer days. For the warmest days of the year, our strappy midi dresses sit alongside in the same artisan prints for an even lighter feel.

We recommend a gentle handwash or delicate machine wash in cold water, inside out. Always air dry to keep the colours vibrant wash after wash. Avoid tumble drying and do not iron directly on printed or embroidered areas. Always check the care label on your style.
