Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does an open jacket suit a petite frame?

An open jacket hangs straight down either side of the bodice, creating two long vertical lines through the centre of the outfit. That draws the eye lengthwise rather than across, which has a lengthening effect that benefits a shorter frame particularly.

Is ice sage a good color for a spring wedding?

Ice sage and other soft greens suit spring and garden weddings especially well, where lighter palettes dominate. The shade is fresh without being pale, photographs beautifully in daylight, and sits far enough from bridal white to avoid any concern.

Can you wear the soutache jacket with other pieces?

A soutache jacket cut to petite proportions coordinates naturally with other Alex Evenings petite pieces, including formal chiffon pants and column skirts. That gives you a second and third outfit from a single purchase, which is useful across a season of events.

What is a column gown?

A column gown falls in a straight, narrow line from the bodice to the floor without flaring at the hip. It is the sleekest of the formal silhouettes and creates an unbroken vertical line, which is particularly effective at lengthening a petite frame.
