Petite Sequin Embroidered & Chiffon Scoop-Neck Jacket Dress

Does a full skirt overwhelm a petite frame?

A full skirt works on a petite frame when the waist is clearly defined and the length is cut to petite proportions, so the skirt begins and ends in the right places. Problems usually arise from a standard-length skirt shortened at the hem, which leaves the volume unchanged.

What is a center front closure?

A center front closure fastens down the middle of the bodice, creating a strong vertical line through the center of the garment. On a mock jacket dress it reinforces the impression of a separate jacket and draws the eye lengthwise, which is lengthening on any frame.

Is blush appropriate for a Grandmother of the Bride?

Blush is a popular choice for Grandmothers of the Bride, offering softness and warmth without the starkness of a neutral. It photographs beautifully in both daylight and candlelight, and it sits comfortably alongside most wedding palettes without competing with them.

What should a Grandmother of the Bride wear?

Grandmothers of the Bride usually wear the same level of formality as the Mothers, often with a preference for more coverage through the arm and a tea or floor length. Jacket dresses and gowns with three-quarter sleeves are the most frequently chosen options.
