Weddings are great occasions full of happy moments but also a lot of planning. One item on the agenda that doesn’t need to be stressful is picking out bridesmaid dresses. An easier way is to let your bridesmaid pick out their favourite style or give them a few options in a certain colour. This is a great way to suit everyone’s taste and your own too!
Maxi dresses are great for bridesmaid dresses because they are flattering on a number of different body types, also there are lots of different styles to choose from. Don’t think that the only type out there is sweetheart (the typical bridesmaid dress choice), there’s a whole world out there.
- Bateau (Boat) neckline
A French word meaning “boat” the bateau neckline is an elegant option as it is a rather high neck cut but shows a small portion of the upper shoulders and collar-bone. Often the neckline can run as wide as Shoulder to shoulder. The cut is very flattering and available in styles such as the JESSY- Knotted Sleeveless Cocktail Maxi Dress
- Off the Shoulder
This cut bares a little more skin but in a sophisticated way. It shows either both shoulders or one shoulder while keeping the other covered. This can be loose fitting (for one shoulder) but cut so the dress stays in place as the LILAH - Grecian One Shoulder beautifully does.
- V-neck Cut
Although not the most traditional choice in neckline, it is a bit different than the usual. This cut is becoming more popular and adds a beautiful look to the dress. Avoid deep v-necks as these are more sexy and less elegant for a wedding occasion.
- Cowl Neck
This is a great choice as it is loose around the neck, adding comfort but still secure so everything stays in place.
- Halter Neck
Show off those shoulders, but in the right way. Halter necks are great to show off the upper back and shoulders. This cut flatters the neck and accentuates the upper body shape.
- Wear it Your Way
The ultimate dress is the convertible maxi dress, if you cannot decide which neckline is best, make your own. This dress can be wrapped in many different ways to suit your style and needs. The KAYLEE - Infinity Convertible Wrap Cocktail Maxi Dress is one dress with many different looks which is adaptable to you.
