Short Pockets & Slit Zipper Wedding Guest Dresses

How to Choose Short Pockets & Slit Zipper Wedding Guest 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.

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.
