Wedding guest and bridesmaid dresses

Weddings are a named occasion in the Hello Molly menu, under Bridesmaid and Wedding. The maxi and midi pages describe styles for weddings, formal events, parties and holidays, from romantic florals to sleek satin.

The powder-blue one-shoulder gown pictured here is the sort of floor-length piece that suits a bridesmaid lineup, while the copper satin midi with its wrapped skirt reads more like a guest outfit for an evening ceremony.

Fabric is the easy way to narrow things down. Satin, lace, floral and embroidered dresses each have their own menu entry, and so do halter, strapless, off-the-shoulder and long-sleeve cuts.

If you are ordering for a whole group, remember the shipping steps: free over $100 in the US, $5 from $70 to $100, and a 2pm Pacific cutoff for same-day dispatch. Placing orders together can bring each one past the free line.

The store takes returns for store credit within 30 days, so order early enough to swap a size before the event. A student offer of 10% also shows at the top of the store for guests who are still in college.
