Short Pockets & Slit Open Back Bridesmaid Dresses

How to Choose Short Pockets & Slit Open Back Bridesmaid Dresses

Short hems belong to warm, informal weddings — beach ceremonies, after-parties and rehearsal dinners where the party is moving all evening. Youthful and light, best on warm-weather and informal days.

Pockets are the request every bridesmaid makes twice: somewhere to put a phone through a long day, hidden in the side seam so the line of the skirt never changes. Cut deep enough for a phone and a lipstick without breaking the drape. Best on a fuller skirt, where the opening disappears into the seam.

A slit gives a floor-length skirt somewhere to go when the wearer moves — the easiest way to make a long, narrow dress feel modern rather than formal-heavy. Lets a long hem walk easily and adds movement to a straight skirt. Pair with a heel that shows on the step and keep the hem to the floor.

An open back drops the seam well below the shoulder blade, so the dress reads plain from the front and becomes the detail as the party walks away. Needs a supportive bodice or corsetry built into the front. Skip the necklace and let an earring carry the jewellery instead.

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.
