A-Line & Empire Pockets Bridesmaid Dresses

How to Choose A-Line & Empire Pockets Bridesmaid Dresses

A-line is the safest silhouette for a full party: it skims rather than clings, works across every height, and photographs cleanly whether the group is standing or seated. The most forgiving cut in the range and the one a mixed-size party agrees on fastest. Keep the waist seam at its natural place and let the skirt do the work.

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.

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.

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.
