Midi Empire & Mermaid Bridesmaid Dresses

How to Choose Midi Empire & Mermaid Bridesmaid Dresses

Midi is the modern middle ground — formal enough for a ceremony, relaxed enough for a garden or vineyard afternoon, and the hem that photographs best when the party is standing on uneven ground. Softer than floor-length and easier to walk and dance in.

Empire lifts the waist to just below the bust and lets everything below fall away — the easiest silhouette to wear for a long day, and the one a pregnant bridesmaid can keep. The kindest cut for pregnancy and for anyone who wants nothing at the middle. Ask for the hem to be checked against a flat shoe as well as a heel.

Mermaid is the black-tie silhouette: it holds the waist and hip and releases into a flare that moves on the walk out, so it belongs to evening ceremonies rather than lawns. The most formal cut, built for a long aisle and a still photograph. Pair with a heel — the flare is drafted for a lifted hem.

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.
