Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS isn’t just another celebrity-owned business, the lifestyle brand has become top-tier within the fashion world, especially among Hollywood stars who have starred in one of the brand’s many iconic campaigns.
Bridgerton‘s leading lady Nicola Coughlan was the latest to get her starring role in a SKIMS campaign with her predecessors including WNBA athletes, Sabrina Carpenter, Nelly Furtado, Lana Del Rey and even Usher. With a TV series as dramatic and dreamy as hers, it makes sense that Coughlan would introduce a new era of the viral Soft Lounge Slip Dress that helped solidify the brand’s cult-favorite status.
Many dupes have tried to replicate the success and virality of SKIMS, but nothing can compare to the original, including an updated mini version that possess the same addictive qualities of the dress, including the famous soft, form-fitting material.

Soft Lounge Mini Tank Dress
Instead of the classic spaghetti strap style, this new Soft Lounge dress comes with thick halter-inspired straps paired with a mini length you can wear for practically any occasion, whether it’s date night, happy hour or a morning stroll through the park. Just like the OG version, the design features the brand’s viral rib modal stretchy fabric that will hug every curve comfortably. The dress comes in the classic black shade as well as two limited-edition colorways: bone and lemonade.
A shorter length isn’t the only updated version you can stock up on — the Soft Lounge Long Dress also comes in the tank style in addition to a ’90s-inspired tube dress you can buy online below.
Soft Lounge Long Tank Dress
For anyone who loves the racerback look, but wants to keep the maxi length, there’s also a long version of the Soft Lounge Tank Dress that you can pick up. It comes with the same viral material that the brand has been praised for and is available in the two limited-edition colors as well as a neutral black.
Soft Lounge Tube Dress
Go completely sleeveless with the tube dress version, which offers an elegant take on the lounge-ready dress. The black version can easily become that little black dress you wear to parties and events while the bright neon look can be worn for festivals and the off-white colorway is perfect for bridal showers and engagement parties.
What Is the Famous SKIMS Dress Called?
The dress that SKIMS claims “broke the Internet” is its Soft Lounge Long Dress, which comes in a maxi length and spaghetti straps. The look is inspired by slip dresses from the ’90s and uses a special fabric designed by the brand that provides stretch and lays flat against your body to help show off your curves. It’s hard for the bestseller to remain in stock — especially when new shades are dropped, which only adds to fans’ desire to snag every new style as quickly as possible. Since it shows off a simple construction, it’s a multipurpose dress you can wear to lounge around in, like the name suggests, or wear it out on the dance floor.
Does the SKIMS Dress Fit Short People?
The length of the regular Soft Lounge Long Dress is 50 inches for sizes XXS-XL and 51 inches for sizes 2X-4X. Models in the photo are around 5’8″ and the length hits around their ankles, but for those shorter who don’t want to have to worry about getting the dress hemmed, there is a petite style of the Soft Lounge Dress available in the classic black shade, which is made for anyone 5’3″ and below.
