When I get dressed up for special occasions, I don’t dress to impress, I dress to inspire. My husband once told me that, and I’ve always thought it was the nicest compliment. Helping other women find outfits that make them feel beautiful is one of my favorite things to do.
Let’s be honest, finding the perfect black tie wedding guest dress can feel like a tall order especially when you want elegance and comfort. But I recently found a gem from AW Bridal, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.
Let me introduce you to the Phyllida Dress. This beauty is made from a satin charmeuse fabric that feels silky smooth and drapes like a dream. The mermaid silhouette is gently fitted, giving you shape without sacrificing ease. And get this, it comes with a built-in bra. For those of us who appreciate a little less fuss, that alone is a selling point!
I’m wearing a size two, and I found it to be true to size. That said, I highly recommend wearing some good shapewear underneath it just smooths everything out and gives a more polished look.
Now, let’s talk about the neckline. It has a refined, slightly gathered keyhole opening that draws the eye upward and adds just a hint of allure without going overboard. The tea-length hem flares just enough to create soft, fluid movement when you walk or dance (because you will want to dance in this dress).
The color I chose is called Sienna it’s a little lighter than it appears in photos, but still absolutely stunning. And if this color isn’t your thing, the style comes in several shades to suit any skin tone or season.
So if you’re on the hunt for a black tie wedding guest dress that’s elegant, age-appropriate, and confidence-boosting this is it. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, attending a gala, or stepping out for a special evening. You will make a stunning entrance.
Cheers!
