The Belgian-bridal house Marylise returns with fresh optimism and modern elegance in their 2026 Short Dress Collection - a drop that blends minimal sophistication with bold design accents for the contemporary bride. According to the brand, the collection embraces versatility, clean silhouettes, asymmetrical necklines and refined floral detailing, where “fluid meets sculptural, blending timeless sophistication with contemporary flair.” 

Each piece is made to order and crafted at their Portuguese atelier, ensuring the same high-quality production and artisanal craftsmanship as the brand’s long wedding gowns. This in-house production allows Marylise to offer high-value short dresses at an accessible price point, combining premium design with refined simplicity.

Here’s what’s new and what to look out for in their new collection:

 

Versatility: The collection is described as “versatile, effortless and unmistakably Marylise.” The emphasis is on dresses that can work for a civil ceremony, an after-party, a destination wedding or even reception change-out.

Modern silhouettes + subtle sculptural touches: Asymmetric necklines, clean lines and refined florals dominate. New additions include flowing satin dresses, structured materials and versatile two-piece looks, with a stunning pants ensemble!

Timeless meets contemporary: While staying true to bridal elegance, the line introduces modern elements, such as minimalist shapes, asymmetry and refreshingly crisp finishes.

Styling Options   

Marylise’s 2026 short dress collection brings a fresh level of adaptability to the bridal wardrobe. These designs appeal to brides looking for a modern, effortless silhouette that can transition seamlessly from ceremony to celebration. For boutiques, this collection offers the flexibility to meet a growing demand for understated luxury - pieces that are contemporary, easy to style and distinctly bridal without being too traditional. 

Shorter hemlines naturally call for accessories, creating an opportunity for boutiques to showcase their complementary pieces - from statement shoes to lightweight veils, outerwear and refined jewellery. Stocking a curated range of accessories alongside the Marylise short dress line not only enhances styling options but also encourages add-on sales and a more complete in-store experience.
