Spaghetti Straps Plus Size & Pockets Illusion Back & Open Back Wedding Guest Dresses

How to Choose Spaghetti Straps Plus Size & Pockets Illusion Back & Open Back Wedding Guest Dresses

Fine straps keep the shoulder line light without going strapless, which makes them the reassuring middle ground for a party that wants some support. Delicate and adjustable, and the strap can usually be shortened at fitting. Ask for a strap adjustment rather than a bodice alteration.

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.

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.

An illusion back fills the opening with sheer cloth, so the shape stays low and open while the dress keeps its structure and stays comfortable to dance in. The look of an open back with the security of a closed one. Best in lace, where the panel becomes part of the pattern.

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.

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.
