Wedding Guest Dresses

Wedding Guest Dresses For Every Seasons & Style

While it is the bride’s special day, it is also important to look your best as a wedding guest by choosing the perfect elegant dress in accordance to the wedding theme. Wedding guest dresses can be hard to choose, especially when thinking about which colors, styles and silhouettes you can and cannot wear as a wedding guest.

What colors are you not supposed to wear to a wedding?

Traditionally, in order to dress respectfully, guests should not wear white or black, unless told otherwise on the invitation, or wear outfits that are too revealing or extravagant. Guests should look formal and elegant, but never outshine the bride.

What should a female guest wear to a wedding?

The perfect look to wear as a female wedding guest are dresses in a neutral, soft pastel or elegant color palette. Wedding guest dresses can be gowns, mini or midi dresses, all depending on the formality of the wedding. If the invitation says it is a black-tie wedding, shop for elegant long dresses, if the theme is more casual mini dresses are also permitted. Depending on the location of the wedding, you can choose between all relevant dress styles from silk slip dresses, lace dresses, backless gowns and more. As long as the dress looks both flattering on you and is respectful to the bride, you have many options to choose from.

We think of ourselves as modern-day treasure hunters. We source high quality surplus, aka excess, and sustainable fabric from European factories, warehouses, mills and even directly from luxury brands.

Production runs are wholly dependent upon the size of each roll when we find it. Therefore, everything we produce is part of a limited edition, making it extra special.

Sustainability

Learn about this garments sustainable attributes and how it is helping us save the planet, while making it fashion.

  • Made Locally

    We make everything within 150 miles of each fabric source. Not only does this minimise our carbon footprint, but it also means that the producers often have a greater knowledge of these materials because they have worked with them before.

  • Recyclable

    Using natural fibres means that our products can be fully recycled in the future.

  • On-Demand Production

    As a digital-first brand, we are able to produce our clothes on-demand. We produce our garments in small batches, as you order them, in order to reduce over-production, use less energy, and eliminate excess waste. 

  • Artisanal

    Our garments are handcrafted in specialist, family-run European factories and workshops that uphold the standards of traditional high-end manufacturing. Small production ensures there are fewer emissions than mass- produced items, the fashion is personal, and the design process is valued.
