Plus Size Lace-Up, Open Back & Mixed Backs Wedding Guest Dresses

How to Choose Plus Size Lace-Up, Open Back & Mixed Backs Wedding Guest Dresses

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.

A lace-up back is both closure and detail — ribbon drawn through eyelets that lets the wearer set the fit and gives the back of the dress something to say. Tightened by the wearer, with a decorative finish that reads from the aisle. Keep hair up so the lacing stays visible in photographs.

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.
