Bow, Pleated & Mixed Detailing Bridesmaid Dresses

How to Choose Bow, Pleated & Mixed Detailing Bridesmaid Dresses

A bow is one deliberate detail on an otherwise plain dress — tied at the waist or centre back so the style has something to say from behind as the party walks the aisle. Marks the waist and gives the back of the dress a focal point. Keep the rest of the dress plain and let the bow be the detail.

Pleating is the quietest way to give a dress structure: pressed folds add body through the waist and release into movement at the hem without adding a single applied detail. Holds structure through the waist and releases width lower down. Reads cleanest in satin, where each fold catches a different light.

Ruching gathers the cloth along a seam so the bodice skims rather than grips, which is why one ruched style suits a party across several very different measurements. The most forgiving bodice in the range — ruching moves with a measurement. The safest pick for a party of mixed sizes ordering one style.

Every shade is dyed to one standard across 0 shades, so a party mixing hems, necklines and cloths still reads as a single palette in photographs. Order up to 10 swatches free before you commit.
