Long Slit Open Back & Zipper Wedding Guest Dresses

How to Choose Long Slit Open Back & Zipper Wedding Guest Dresses

Floor-length is the default for a ceremony: it is the most formal hem in the range and the one that holds a line down a long aisle, whatever silhouette sits above it. Reads formal on every height and lengthens a mixed party in photographs.

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.

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.
