Dress to be seen. Inspired by artist and designer Vanessa Bell, this limited edition mini dress is a celebration of colour, creativity, and joyful self-expression.
Vanessa believed that colour could move people just as deeply as words, and slipping into this dress feels like stepping directly into that brilliant philosophy.
Made in an extraordinary full-spectrum ombré print, every single dress features completely unique colour placement, meaning no two are ever exactly the same.
Acting like a mood ring in dress form, each piece captures a different snapshot of energy designed to bring some serious brightness to your everyday wardrobe. With only 500 made, every dress comes with its own numbered certificate as part of this special release.
It's all about easy drama and wearable colour. Cut in a classic A-line skater shape that falls below the knee, it creates beautiful movement and a silhouette that feels amazing on the body.
Short sleeves keep things breezy, while those deep, real working pockets sit perfectly flat without adding bulk. Made from soft organic cotton jersey with our clever internal bust shelf, you get gentle support to skip the bra entirely, fit tested on real bodies in sizes 4-38.

How to Measure
For the most accurate measurement, measure in your comfiest underwear.
Keep the tape snug but not tight — Snag is stretchy, and we want a comfy fit.
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across your back.
Waist
Measure the narrowest part of your waistline, usually an inch or two above your belly button.
Hips
Stand with your feet together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum.
Choose the Snag size that fits your largest measurement. Garment lengths are approximate.
Tired of Tights That Don't Fit? So Were We
It all started when our founder, Brie, got fed up with her tights falling down in the middle of the street on her way to work.
Turns out, she wasn't alone. After discovering that 90% of people couldn't find tights that fit properly, she decided to fix the problem.
Snag was born to create clothes that actually fit, because every body deserves to feel amazing.
Finally!
Did you know most brands only make their tights longer for bigger sizes, not wider?
We do things differently. Our tights have 12 inches of 3D stretch and are designed to fit your height, waist, and hips perfectly. No sagging, no rolling down, just a flawless fit.
Find Your Size
It's easy to find your perfect Snag size. Simply find your usual dress size and your height to get your recommended fit.

Fantastic dress. Great Snag are moving into new stykes instead of always making wrap dresses. Vanessa is flattering in shape & style with the always perfect snag fit, quality & comfort and the mix of colors are fantastic! Hoping for more new styles in the future.

Colorful
I'm happy with this. I was hoping more pink colors but I like this too. I think it runs a bit smaller than the other dresses. I have a poplin dress in size C and I think the size D in this dress matches it. I usually wear a size D. But the dress stretches and maybe it loosens up with use. If you like a looser fit, I would recommend buying a larger size.

Happy, comfortable, beautiful. Possibly my favourite ever dress.
This is a beautiful dress.
It's very light, it feels lighter and marginally thinner than the "beach bum" and "princess" dresses, with additional bust support. So perfect for hot days, although not so thin it feels cheap. Just right.
The bust support is just right and I haven't felt the need to wear a bra with it - ideal in hot weather.. In fact I now just want to be able to get a cropped top/bralette just made of the bust support bit.
I'm 157 cm, so the Midi version of this would have been too long for a casual dress for me. This mini version is just about knee length on me.
It sits really well on the body.
I've only worn it twice and have had so many compliments about this.
It goes with practically any choice of tights.

Vanessa midi dress
Love the Vanessa dress. I wore it to Chelsea flower show and blended in nicely with the colours in the floral marquee. I love the length and used the pomegranate mesh skirt as a petticoat to give it some volume. I love petticoats! And having pockets in any dress or skirt is just wonderful!
