Shopping for a wedding guest dress should be an exciting experience, and with a little guidance, it can be stress-free! Whether you're attending a summer garden wedding or a formal black-tie event, finding the perfect plus-size dress is all about embracing your style, staying comfortable, and feeling confident. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:
Know the Dress Code: Consider the wedding theme, season, and level of formality. Is it a black-tie event or a casual outdoor wedding? Understanding the level of formality will help you narrow down your options. For a black-tie wedding, think long gowns or elegant cocktail dresses. For a more laid-back or outdoor event, opt for breezy fabrics and fun, flirty designs. Knowing the venue (beach, ballroom, garden, etc.) also helps determine what is appropriate. Let our stylists at Ivory & Main know the dress code and they can help you find the perfect dress for the occasion!
Prioritize Comfort Without Compromising Style: As a guest, you’ll likely be on your feet, dancing, and mingling throughout the day, so comfort is key! Choose fabrics that allow you to move and feel comfortable throughout the day—think lightweight materials for summer weddings or cozy textures for colder months.
Find Your Flattering Fit: Look for styles that enhance your curves, like wrap dresses, empire waists, or A-line silhouettes. V-necklines or off-the-shoulder designs can also add a touch of elegance. Don’t be afraid to try different silhouettes! We carry a wide range of plus-size dress options that suit various body types, so you’ll have plenty of styles to explore. Take a trip to our shop in Port Jefferson Village and try on some new styles!
Play with Color and Patterns: Wedding guest attire doesn’t have to be boring! Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colors, prints, or patterns! Just avoid white or anything too similar to the bride’s gown unless the couple requests it.
Accessorize Smartly: Accessories can elevate any look. A well-chosen pair of statement earrings, a chic clutch, or stylish shoes can add that perfect finishing touch. Lucky for you, our boutique is filled with accessory options for any occasion. Make sure your accessories complement your dress without overwhelming it. Our stylists will help you find accessories that complement your dress perfectly.
