Jenny Packham Cocktail Dresses: Midi and Mini Dresses for AW26
Jenny Packham Cocktail Dresses: Midi and Mini Dresses for AW26
Not every Jenny Packham dress reaches the floor. The house makes a tight group of crepe cocktail dresses that stop below the knee, each with one jewelled detail, and a handful of sequinned minis for parties. They are the most wearable pieces in the collection and the most affordable, from $2,430 at Coveti.
Crepe cocktail dresses
All seven are 92% polyester and 8% polyurethane crepe, fully lined, cut to a slim line and true to size.

Sequinned minis
The Nima in Saffron and Nima Short in Bronze have a beaded bodice on fine straps and a flared hem. The Rebecca in Pink Pearl is fitted, with geometric sequin work, and the Tala in Marmo Green has a high neck and an open back. These fit small, apart from the Tala, so take one size up. For a long sleeve, the Countessa in Magenta is a crepe mini with a gathered skirt at $2,710.
When to wear a Jenny Packham cocktail dress
The crepe midis suit day weddings, christenings, the races and smart lunches, where a beaded gown would be too much. Add a hat for a day wedding. The sequinned minis are for evening: Christmas parties, milestone birthdays and cocktail receptions.
Sizing
UK 6 to UK 20, with a UK 10 equal to a US 6 and an EU 38. The house model is 178cm and wears a UK 8, and the midis sit just below her knee.

Why the crepe dresses are a good buy
A crepe Jenny Packham dress costs about a third of a beaded gown and can be worn far more often. The crepe holds a clean shape, the slight stretch makes it comfortable through a long day, and the jewelled neckline means you need no necklace. It is also the easiest Jenny Packham to alter, because the hem has no beading.
