Empire Modest & Plus Size Zipper Wedding Guest Dresses

How to Choose Empire Modest & Plus Size Zipper Wedding Guest Dresses

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.

Modest styles are drafted with the cover built in — a higher neck, a real sleeve and a floor hem — so no wrap or shrug is needed for a ceremony with a dress code. Full coverage without extra bulk, drafted rather than layered on. Reads correctly in a church or temple with no coverup required.

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 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.
