Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best fabrics for plus size cocktail dresses?

Finding the perfect plus size wedding guest dress can make you feel confident, beautiful, and ready to celebrate the special occasion. Explore the collection and consider a variety of styles to discover the one that best flatters your figure and suits your personal style.

What dress silhouettes flatter apple, pear, hourglass, or rectangle shapes?

For pear shapes, ruched or A-line dresses help balance the hips. Apple and hourglass figures shine in V-neck or bodycon styles that highlight the waist, while rectangles benefit from belted or structured cuts that soften sharp lines.

Are there cuts that make me look taller or slimmer for formal weddings?

Dresses with V-necklines, empire waists, A-line skirts, and vertical details elongate the body. At the same time, fitted silhouettes, wrap styles, and monochrome colours create a slimmer appearance for formal wedding attire.

Are there dress codes I need to consider for weddings?

Weddings typically involve a dress code to maintain the couple's desired theme and overall aesthetic. Choosing a plus size wedding guest dress that follows the dress code helps you enjoy the celebration and create lasting memories without stress.

How do I know if the wedding is formal, semi-formal, or casual?

Check the invitation for keywords like “formal”, “semi-formal”, or “casual”. You can also confirm with the host and consider the venue, theme, and time of day to determine the appropriate attire.

Can a plus size dress work for both daytime and evening weddings?

Absolutely! Choose refined fabrics like satin in sophisticated colours such as emerald green or royal navy. Keep the accessories simple for a timeless look that easily transitions from day to evening

How do I adapt my outfit for religious or conservative ceremonies?

For religious or conservative ceremonies, it’s safest to choose dresses with higher necklines, longer sleeves, and knee- or floor-length hems. Layer with shawls or cardigans, and complement your look with elegant hair accessories to maintain modesty.

What colours and prints are appropriate for wedding guest dresses?

Appropriate colours for wedding guest dresses include bold hues, soft pastels, jewel tones, and classic neutrals like navy. Subtle florals and muted patterns are also excellent choices for a sophisticated look, as long as they align with the dress code.

Are there colours I should avoid, like white or overly bright shades?

Avoid white, ivory, and off-white or beige, as these are traditionally reserved for the bride. Also, steer clear of neon or overly bright shades, which can be distracting and draw attention away from the couple.

Can plus size women wear bold prints or floral patterns without overwhelming their figures?

Absolutely! From floral and abstract prints that draw attention in the right places, to pastel tones perfect for celebratory occasions, it’s a stunning way to showcase your curves rather than hide them.

How should I care for my plus size wedding guest dress?

Proper care ensures your plus size dress lasts through multiple formal or cocktail events. Always follow the care label instructions before washing or drying to prevent damage.

Are delicate fabrics like lace or chiffon machine-washable?

Delicate fabrics such as lace or chiffon are generally not machine-washable, as harsh cycles can damage or stretch them. Instead, hand-wash in cold water, or take the dress to a dry cleaner if the care label recommends it.

What's the best way to remove stains without damaging the dress?

To remove stains safely, blot the area gently with cold water, avoid rubbing, use a mild detergent or stain remover, and test on a hidden area first. For delicate fabrics, consider professional cleaning.
