What Should I Know Before Purchasing Spring Wedding Guest Dresses?
Dress Code
Lieberman advises shopping before purchasing a wedding gown, especially if the ceremony is held in a place of worship that might demand more traditional attire. If the dress code is more relaxed or a little vague, she recommends thinking about the venue, weather forecast, and timeline of events so that you can choose an option that you’ll feel comfortable in from the wedding march to the final dance.
Mobility
Lieberman advises searching for dresses that can be danced in while having more flexible silhouettes. ” There is nothing more frustrating than trying to dance but worrying about a wardrobe malfunction”, she notes. To ensure you can still walk, move, and groove comfortably, you should look for dresses that have a little bit of stretch to them or those with a generous slit, like the.
Cost Per Wear
You might want to choose a versatile material that you can use more than once, taking the cost of each wear into account, especially if the dress is more expensive. ” Find a dress you can style in different ways so you can reinvent it for another wedding or event with excitement”, says Lieberman.
She explains that shopping more sustainably means examining items that have multiple purposes, such as formal events like vacations and weddings.
