It is perfectly appropriate to wear a formal sweeping-floor gown that does not reveal the ankles. But if you’re heading to a semi-formal wedding, tea-length, midi and cocktail dresses are all wonderful options. Find an outfit that you feel comfortable while respecting the requested wedding dress code at Ever Pretty.

Generally, it’s best not to wear white, cream or ivory as they can be too close to the bride’s wedding dress shade. All black should also be avoided. For black tie affairs and winter weddings, jewel tones are excellent choices, like dark green, burgundy, navy blue; for spring and summer weddings, consider pastel shades and bright colors.

A-line, empire-waist and sheath are some flattering silhouettes for curvy ladies. If you have your favorite assets in mind and are looking to emphasize them, you can choose the style accordingly. Off-the-shoulder, strapless and sleeveless wedding guest dresses are designed to showcase your shoulders. A v-neck sequin gown with a thigh-high slit exudes a more sexy vibe. For those who want an elegant outfit, consider long sleeve dresses with lace embellishment.
