The Fashion Chronicles: Ruched Mini Skirt

Styling Sexy Ruched Mini Skirt and Ruched Bodycon Dress.

by Shop By Amy

A ruched mini skirt with its gathered ruching detail, whether part of a ruched bodycon dress or skirt set, can add a flattering touch of romantic and feminine detail to any outfit.

What is ruching?

The look may be familiar even if the name isn’t. This decorative technique involves gathering, pleating, or fluting the fabric to create a ripple-like effect that is often used to create feminine, figure-hugging designs.

The extra fabric and detail involved is an easy way to add a touch of extravagance and swankiness, whether dressing up or down. Ruching is known to be a flattering detail for its ability to conceal and smooth the curves. Think the clothing equivalent of primer or concealer.

Ruched Bodycon Dresses in Metallics: Perfect for a night out

Why not make the most of dressing up with a ruched bodycon dress in something sparkly, shiny, or sequined? Metallic fabrics with ruched detailing create molten and liquid metal looks that will turn heads and look irresistibly photogenic.

The Dancing Queen Mini Dress, with its chrome honeycomb sequin pattern, is a bright and shining example. The eye-catching fabric contrasts with romantic details like the sweetheart neckline and long bubble sleeves. At the same time, its bodycon fit and ruched wrap mini skirt are the sexy details that make this perfect for a night out.

Frilly and Floral Ruched Mini Skirts: Romantic looks for Valentine’s Day and beyond

Are you in the mood for some romance? With about a month to go before Valentine’s Day, if you’re looking for a cute and sexy option for date night, it’s hard to go wrong with a ruched mini skirt in a floral pattern. Together, florals and ruching are a perfect choice for your next date.

The Hopeless Romantic Mini Dress is a perfect mini cocktail dress with the flexibility to be worn dressed up or down depending on the accessories you choose to pair it with. This ruched bodycon dress includes sweet and romantic details like a self-tie ribbon detail back and ruffle trim along the side.

The Plus Pretty in Pink Mini Dress is a rosy, dusky pink mini dress that will center a hopelessly romantic look. The ruched mini skirt gathers into ruffles that swoop across the dress’s skirt and create an elegant asymmetrical hem, perfectly balancing the elegantly sheer balloon long sleeves on top.

The Athleisure Ruched Bodycon Dress: Ruching beyond the frilly

We often think about ruched detailing as the ultimate choice in curve-hugging, romantic, and feminine designs. But with the continued popularity of athleisure and dressed-down styles, even ruched clothing is not just for dressing up.

With details like drawstrings and elasticated or scrunched seams and hemlines, a ruched bodycon dress like the In the Moment Mini Dress is the sporty and relaxed cousin of the ruched bodycon dress archetype. This is a chic black and white sweatshirt dress. It features a ruched mini skirt with adjustable drawstring details at the waist and bottom hem, and across the upper back of the sweatshirt bodice reads “Cherish the Moment.”
