Pleated dresses are having a major moment as wedding guest attire. The feminine flair and fluid movement make them an ideal choice for almost any marriage celebration. But with so many pleated options, how do you find the perfect style? Follow these tips. In this article: 10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress 10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress 1.What's the Dress Code? First thing's first - identify the wedding's dress code. This will point you in the right direction material-wise. Formal or black-tie weddings call for luxe fabrics like satin, taffeta or silk chiffon. Cotton or linen pleats hit the right note for casual outdoor "I dos." 2.Look for Forgiving Pleats The most universally flattering pleated dress styles create a nipped-in effect at the natural waist before flowing out in a flattering A-line or fit-and-flare shape. Pleats placed vertically all-over also offer a wonderful draping effect. 3.Consider a Printed Pleated Dress While solids are always chic, a printed pleated dress adds an extra punch of personality. Just ensure the print matches the wedding vibe - think floral for garden affairs or graphic prints for modern celebrations. 4.Play with Layers Part of what makes pleats so on-trend is how beautifully they blend with other textured pieces. Try a pleated camisole dress peeking out from under a sheer pleated overlay. Or do the reverse with a sleek sheath topped by a pleated duster. 5.You Can Wear the Same Thing Twice! One major perk of selecting a great quality pleated dress is the versatility. Many stylish pleated options are 100% re-wearable for cocktail parties, date nights and other dressed-up occasions after their wedding debut. 6.Mother of the Bride or Groom Proud moms, pleated dresses make an elegant yet relaxed choice for your special day! Just avoid white or ivory hues that could upstage the bride. Rich jewel tones or florals look gorgeous. 7.You Don't Have to Wear a Dress While undeniably chic, pleated dresses aren't your only option. Consider pleated jumpsuits or trousers for a cool, modern alternative as a wedding guest outfit. 8.Pleated Dresses Can Be Great for Curvy Ladies Strategically-placed pleats offer a flattering, smoothing effect for curvier figures. Look for stretchy smocked or gathered waistbands and pair with the proper smoothing shapewear for a seamless drape. 9.Consider the Whole Look When slipping into your pleated dress, think about how all the elements - shoes, bag, jewelry, etc. - coordinate for a cohesive yet modern look. Keep the styling simple to let those pleats shine. 10.If In Doubt, Ask the Bride If you have any uncertainty around dress code, appropriateness or formality, don't hesitate to consult the bride before purchasing your pleated look. She'll appreciate you making an effort! No matter what upcoming weddings you have to attend, a gorgeous pleated dress is sure to make you feel effortlessly chic. With these tips, you can find a style that flatters your figure and fits the nuptial celebration perfectly.

Sometimes I find that women who already have a gorgeous figure are still looking for dresses to hide their tummy. Children have tummies. But I understand that everyone wants to look perfect for a special occasion and some pregant women may want to draw less attention to their tummies. If you really want to cover your tummy and are having a hard time finding the right dress, here are some tips and dress styles that I hope will be a solution. Best Dress Styles that Flatter a Tummy: Empire Waist Dresses 1. Empire Waist Dresses Why Empire Waist is Flattering Empire waist dresses have a high waistline that usually hits just below the breasts or a little lower. This style is perfect for drawing attention away from the tummy and elongating your figure. Tips for Choosing Empire Waist Dresses An empire waist dress can also be frumpy. To avoid this, it is important to find the right fit. Find a dress that cinches in snugly just below the bust, but not too tight around the midsection. Consider an elastic waist for adjustability. Fabric is also key; opt for chiffon, jersey, or crepe that will drape nicely over you. 2. A-Line Dresses Benefits of the A-Line Silhouette An A-line dress is universally flattering and can help conceal a larger midsection. This silhouette does wonders in balancing out proportions and disguising any tummy concerns. How to Accessorize A-Line Dresses A statement belt can help define your shape, creating a flattering hourglass silhouette. Look for wider belts that cinch in at the smallest part of your waist. You can also draw attention upwards by a statement necklace or embellished collar. This can help shift the focus away from your midsection and highlight your beautiful features. 3. Wrap Dresses The Versatility of Wrap Dresses Wrap or faux-wrap dresses are incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to fit perfectly. The wrap or faux-wrap style creates a natural V-neckline, which is flattering for all body types,sizes and helps to elongate the torso. Best Wrap Dress Styles for Weddings For an upcoming wedding, choose a wrap dress in a luxurious fabric like silk or satin. Long sleeve maxi styles with subtle patterns or solid colours are also great as they provide more coverage and complement most complexion. 4. Peplum Dresses How Peplum Styles Conceal the Tummy Peplum dresses have an extra frill or layer of fabric around the waist, which can effectively minimize the waist and accentuate your hips. The point is to make sure the peplum top begins at the right waist region. Choosing the Right Peplum Dress for Formal Occasions Opt for a peplum dress in a rich color or with delicate lace details for a wedding. Keep the rest of your look simple to let the peplum be the focal point. The design is playful yet elegant in itself. 5. Shift Dresses The Simplicity and Charm of Shift Dresses Shift dresses are straight and loose-fitting, making them ideal for effortless vibe. Their simplicity makes them a versatile choice for various wedding settings. Perfect Shift Dress Materials and Cuts Select shift dresses made from structured fabrics like cotton blends or light wool. These materials hold their shape well and provide a clean, polished look. 6. Dresses with Ruching How Ruching Works Wonders for the Midsection Ruching is a fabric-gathering technique that can camouflage a tummy by creating texture and depth. It distracts the eye and smooths out the silhouette. Picking the Right Amount of Ruching Look for dresses with ruching along the sides or across the midsection. Avoid excessive ruching, which can add bulk instead of slimming. 7. Dresses with Patterns and Prints Utilizing Patterns to Distract and Flatter Patterns can be a great tool for minimizing the appearance of a tummy. Opt for prints that are evenly distributed and not too large. Best Prints for Minimizing the Tummy Area Florals, polka dots, and abstract prints are excellent choices. They create a visually busy look that can help to disguise problem areas. Additional Tips for Hiding the Tummy Shapewear: If you're not opposed to shape wear, try it. Shape wear offers support and smoothness, giving you a sleeker appearance. Clutch Bag: A clutch bag might not be the most practical for everyday use, but it's a lifesaver for special occasions like weddings photo shoots. Plus, strategically holding it can draw attention away from the tummy. Tuck in Your Tailbone: This one's a sneaky trick for photos. Just subtly tuck your tailbone in for a moment, and voila! It can make a noticeable difference in how your midsection looks.

And let's be real - for all us fashion-obsessed music lovers, Glastonbury (happening June 26-30 in Somerset) is the event we've been waiting for. This iconic extravaganza is so much more than just a killer music lineup. It's a full-blown playground for self-expression and style experimentation at its finest!

In this article: Retro Rock Chick Retro Rock Chick Channel your inner rock goddess this festival season by putting a groovy 60s/70s spin on classic edgy staples. A perfect Glastonbury twist on the retro rock babe look: an ultra-cropped vintage band tee over a luxe velvet or silk slip dress with lace accents. Burnished combat boots give it a tough edge, while a fringed waistcoat pulls the boho vibe together. Pile on stacks of bangles, layer chunky rings, and adorn with a ring of wildflowers in your teased waves to fully embrace the glamorously grungy aesthetic. Shop Lulus Shop Zara Shop Ralph Lauren 90s Grunge Glam When it comes to serving looks in 2024, one trend that's scorching hot right now is the 90s grunge glam revival. We're talking the quintessential androgynous aesthetic of that era - maybe an oversized thermal or fitted plaid buttondown worn over a slinky slip dress. So deliciously disheveled yet amped up with glam touches. Deconstruct the look with fishnets, scuffed Dr. Martens, and a beaten-up denim jacket. Then play up the glam factor with a glossy nude lip, black smudged eyeliner, and a dusting of shimmery body glitter. Finally, top it off with a knit beanie or baseball cap and eclectic chains and chokers to exude an air of effortless rebel spirit. Shop ASOS  Shop PrettyLittleThing Shop Dr. Martens Bohemian Rhapsody For those who live for the opportunity to channel full bohemian goddess energy, Glastonbury provides the perfect festival setting. Construct a free-spirited, flowy ensemble by layering on a breezy embroidered peasant top or ruffled off-shoulder number over a wildly printed maxi skirt. Accessories are key - lace up gladiator sandals; an oversized slouchy bag; stacks of wooden bangles; an artfully knotted longline kimono in rich jewel tones; and of course, a floral crown of fresh blooms to adorn long, tousled waves.

Slip on casual sneakers and layer it up with an oversized moto jacket in a complementary pop of color. Then add your signature festival elements - maybe a sequined fanny pack, futuristic wrap sunglasses, and high-shine face gems for extra glam factor. Top it all off with space buns and plenty of dramatic lashes and glossy lip to maintain urban edge. Shop Adidas Shop Adidas Shop ASOS  Y2K Regalia Another vibe that's having a major moment? The iconic Y2K styles! Those funky, playful fashions from the early 2000s feel practically made for a fashion-forward fest like Glastonbury this year. Ladies, dig out those mid-rise butterfly low-slung jeans and crop them into culottes or shortie shorts. Pair with a slinky chainmail tank and stack of colorful plastic butterfly clips in your hair. Knee-high go-go boots give the look playful flair. Or ditch the jeans entirely for a denim skort and fishnets combo with chunky platform sneakers and a playful tee emblazoned with 2000s pop culture iconography. Don't forget the velour zip-up hoodie slung over your shoulders and lashings of frosty lipgloss and glittery bronzer. The wackier and more nostalgic, the better! Shop ASOS Shop Nastygal Ageless Festival Fashion While Glastonbury may be a playground for youthful rebellion, ladies in their 30s, 40s and beyond deserve to let their freak flags fly high too! The key is to curate looks that toe the line between boho chic and sophistication. For the 30-something set, an embroidered denim skirt paired with a crochet top gives just the right dose of earthy festival edge. Slip on some lace-up sandals or boots. Those in their 40s could rock a curve-hugging macrame dress with cheeky peekaboo cutouts. Layer a suede fringed waistcoat over it and add dangling turkoman earrings and over-the-knee boho boots for maximum swag. And fabulous 50-somethings, don't hold back from wearing that gorgeous gauzy kaleidoscope-printed kaftan as a dress! Cinch it with a metallic plate belt and pile on stacks of bangles up to the elbow. Strut your stuff in platform espadrilles and tie a printed silk scarf bandana-style over tousled curls for peak bohemian glamour. No matter your age, confidence and creativity are the biggest assets in serving free-spirited festival fashion.

In this article: What Are the Best Colours for Summer Bridesmaid Dresses? What Are the Best Colours for Summer Bridesmaid Dresses? The colours you choose for summer bridesmaid dresses set the overall tone and vibe for your wedding celebration. Lighter, more vibrant hues tend to work beautifully for warm-weather nuptials. Soft, romantic pastels like peach, sage, lavender, and blush pink evoke a dreamy, whimsical feel perfect for spring and summer weddings, especially lovely for outdoor garden ceremonies and rustic chic venues. For a cheerful, high-energy look, turn up the brightness with coral, fuchsia, canary yellow, emerald, and turquoise bridesmaid dresses that practically radiate summer vibes. If you prefer a more pared-down palette, creamy neutrals in champagne, sand, dove gray, and slate blue create an understated, sophisticated look for summer bridesmaid dresses. Let the simple neutral shades be the canvas for ornate lace, embroidery, or sparkling embellishments. Neutrals also easily mix and match for a tonal ombre effect. For more detailed colour choices, please refer to The Best Bridesmaid Dress Colours for Your Summer Wedding 2024. What fabrics work best for hot weather? When summer temps start to soar, lightweight, moisture-wicking materials are must-haves. Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer fabric perfect for bridesmaid dresses. Chiffon's delicate hand allows it to hang in beautiful folds and movement. With a crisp, slightly stiff hand, organza offers beautiful structure while still being very lightweight. This sheer fabric works especially well for full-skirted bridesmaid dresses that won't cling. Georgette is another lightweight crepe fabric with a gorgeous drape and floaty movement.

Grey bridesmaid dresses offer both classic and contemporary styling at the same time. Grey colour is stylish, dynamic, and very flexible. If your wedding falls in Autumn or Winter months, you can choose a tone of grey for your bridesmaid dresses, one that will blend with your proposed wedding colour theme. The venue for your wedding really doesn't matter when it comes to the use of grey for your bridesmaid dresses. Whether it is out on an open field, on the beach, in a glamorous ballroom or even in a vineyard, grey complements any indoor or outdoor wedding setting.

In this case, grey is one colour that will really supplement any other colour, no matter how loud the other colour may be. You have the choice of a variety of grey tones to play with. From dark grey to blush grey, charcoal, and light grey, you can decide on the shade of grey for your bridesmaid dresses. All you have to do is to select that grey tone that will be best suited for your wedding theme. In this article: Grey is a Hot Trend: Feel Free to Shine Grey dresses are one really hot trend of late. For wedding colour schemes, many wedding planners are now recommending the use of grey in combination with other colours. Some common examples include: Grey and Blush: This colour combination for a wedding theme is just great.

Grey and Green: Another colour match-up that comes as earthy, breezy and cool. You can have grey bridesmaid dresses with a hint of green. The accessories of your bridesmaids like their purse and shoes may come in a shade of green. Grey and Lavender: The colour scheme for your wedding can be a combination of grey and lavender. From your little bridesmaid and bridesmaid dresses to your wedding invitation card and even wedding cake. These two colours go well with each other. Grey and Navy Blue: With a grey and navy blue, you have a neutral colour and secondary colour combining to give a really mature and sophisticated look to your wedding theme. Your bridesmaid dresses can also combine these two colours perfectly to brighten up your wedding. Grey and Orange: Orange is a bright and daring colour.

For women over 50, finding the perfect dress that balances elegance, style, and comfort is essential. The good news is that there are now more stunning options than ever before when it comes to dresses for the mother of the bride over 50. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of mother of the bride outfits, focusing on the best options for women over 50. In this article: Why Dress Selection Matters Why Dress Selection Matters The mother of the bride dress holds immense significance as it symbolizes the mother's support and love for her daughter on one of the most important days of her life. It's a chance for the mother to shine and feel beautiful while complementing the overall theme and style of the wedding. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a dress that not only flatters your figure but also aligns with the wedding's aesthetic. Trendy Yet Timeless Gowns Long gowns are always a classic and elegant choice for mothers of the bride over 50. Look for styles and silhouettes that balance trendiness with timeless sophistication. Here are some of our favorites: The Lace Gown: From soft florals to geometric patterns, lace imparts sophistication. Look for a style with 3⁄4 length sleeves or a matching jacket for the most versatility. Lace in deeper jewel tones like navy, emerald or plum is especially stunning. The Chiffon Gown: A flowy chiffon dress makes you look and feel amazing on the dance floor. A V-neck, twist knot or draped bodice provides flattering shape. Go for a floral print or soft pastel colour. The Embellished Gown: If you want to stand out a bit more, go for a touch of sparkle. Look for gowns with embellishments like beads, crystals or sequins placed judiciously at the neckline, waist or shoulders. Avoid over-embellishment. The Two-Piece Gown: A gown with a separate top and skirt offers versatility. Get more wear by pairing them with other items in your wardrobe after the wedding. A beaded top with a flowing chiffon skirt is a stylish combo. Figure Flattering Styles No matter your shape or size, the key is finding a mother of the bride dress silhouette that flatters your figure. Here are some of our favorite looks: The A-Line Dress: This gently flared silhouette is universally flattering. It highlights the upper body while skimming softly over the hips and thighs. A classic scoop or V-neckline complements the shape. The Sheath Dress: A tailored sheath can be striking on a mature figure. Look for interesting details like a bateau neckline or draped asymmetrical hemline.  The Empire Waist Dress: This Regency-era style has a high waistline that hits just below the bust. It’s perfect for disguising the midsection and supporting the bust. Select soft fabrics to avoid a boxy shape. The Wrap Dress: Cinch in the waistline with the strategic draping of a wrap dress. Jersey knits work well for more casual weddings while silky wraps make an elegant statement. Chic Jumpsuits & Pantsuits If you prefer pants over dresses, today’s jumpsuits and pantsuits offer gorgeous options for the mother of the bride. The Dressy Jumpsuit: A touch of shimmer or lace transforms a basic jumpsuit into wedding attire. Look for halter, wrap and off-the-shoulder necklines. The Drapey Jumpsuit: Fluid fabrics like jersey or crepe move beautifully in a drapey jumpsuit. Empire or blouson waists provide flattering shape for all figures. The Pantsuit: From sleek to statement-making, today's pantsuits are far from boring. Look for strong shoulders, nipped-in waists and wide or cuffed pants. The Patterned Pantsuit: Make an entrance in a boldly printed pantsuit. Florals and geometric designs feel fresh and celebratory. Keep jewelry minimal. Colour Palette Ideas When it comes to mother of the bride dresses, colour is key for looking vibrant at any age. Follow these guidelines to choose colours that complement your complexion: Fair skin: Blush pink, sky blue, mint green, and violet bring out the pink undertones. Avoid yellow and orange which can wash you out. Metallics like pewter, platinum and rose gold flatter too. Olive skin: Bold ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue play up olive undertones. Corals and tangerines are great bright choices. Metallic bronzes and golds glow beautifully. Darker skin: Vibrant jewel tones look best - think deep purple, ruby red, teal, fuchsia and royal blue. Pair them with metallics in copper, bronze and 24k gold. Avoid pastels. Neutrals: Can't go wrong with black, white, navy, gray and blush which work with all skin tones. Choose textured fabrics to avoid looking washed out. Of course, the bride’s colour scheme is also a consideration, so check with her before going too bold! Adhering to a colour palette of 2-3 colours is a foolproof approach. Fabric & Texture Touches Fabric choice and texture details are key finishing touches that elevate any mother of the bride look. Look for fabrics with beautiful drape and movement like chiffon, crepe, charmeuse and jersey. They skim gracefully as you move. Luxurious fabrics telegraph elegance – try satin, silk, lace, brocade, jacquard and anything with a subtle sheen. Embellished fabrics provide visual interest. Seek out metallics, sequins, beading, embroidery and applique in small doses. Layering different fabrics and textures creates dimension. Pair a lace jacket with a flowy dress or metallic shoes with a satin gown. Don’t forget linings! A smooth lining will make any dress or skirt hang properly and move fluidly as you walk, dance and mingle. The Finishing Touches Complete your mother of the bride look with the perfect shoes, accessories and beauty touches. 1. Shoes: The best shoes strike a balance between fashion and comfort so you can dance the night away. Look for 2-3 inch heels, cushioned insoles and ankle straps or peep toes for support. Metallics add flair. Flats or wedge sandals work for outdoor weddings. 2. Handbag: A beaded or embroidered evening bag no smaller than your fist holds essentials without being bulky. Go hands-free with a wristlet or pocket hidden in your dress. For day weddings, opt for a sturdy shoulder bag large enough for a sweater or touch-up items. 3. Jewelry: Keep necklines and embellished gowns in mind when choosing jewelry. Opt for dainty drop earrings or a single statement necklace. Rings and bracelets should be minimal and comfortable. 4. Hair & Makeup: Schedule a trial run before the wedding to perfect your wedding day look. Update your go-to hairstyle with lose waves or a sleek updo. Ask your makeup artist to keep your makeup natural but defined with a bolder lip colour. This will ensure you look great in photos! The Perfect Mother of the Bride Outfit Awaits!
