How to Choose Long Sleeves Plus Size Open Back & Zipper Bridesmaid Dresses

Long sleeves are the winter and black-tie answer: full cover to the wrist, no wrap required, and the most formal line a bridesmaid can wear. The warmest and most formal sleeve in the range. Keep jewellery minimal and let the sleeve finish the look.

Plus sizes are graded on their own block, so the bodice, strap placement and hem all land where they should instead of being a larger copy of a small pattern. Support where it is needed, with seams re-drafted for the size, not stretched. Every shade and cloth in the range is cut across the full size run.

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.

A concealed zip gives a closed, tailored back with nothing to read across the seam, which is why it stays the default on satin and any style photographed from behind. A fixed, tailored fit — the cleanest back line in the range. The simplest back to alter, so it suits a party fitting close to the date.

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.
