PureWow readers are obsessed with this Norma Kamali gown. It’s oh-so chic and notoriously flattering on various body types. It’s made from a polyester and spandex blend, so it has a lot of stretchy and give. (Trust us: You’ll appreciate this detail when you hit up the dessert bar for seconds.) It even has a built-in bodysuit that doubles as shapewear and creates a seamless figure. One Revolve shopper says, “It's elegant, sexy, comfortable and practical. My only suggestion would be for the bodysuit to have buttons so that you don't have to take off the whole dress when you need to pee.” As for the asymmetrical hemline, ruched bodice and one-shoulder swoop, well, those are the icing on top of the cake.

“The newest version of the Maya Ruched Dress from Anthropologie in mesh is amazing,” raves one Anthropologie reviewer. “[Its] pullover styling and flattering ruching is win-win, [and the] sizing is flexible, I found it true to size but if needed, you could size up one or down one. I love the length because it covered the backs of my legs, and the slit wasn’t too high.” In fact, the side slit of this dress is a beautiful way to show off your legs and balance out the modest top. But the real focal point of this dress is the draped, cowl neckline and the ruched bodice that gathers along the side of the dress, slimming your figure and helping to hide any insecurities. Psst…another buyer wore it to a wedding in 90-degree weather, and she marveled at its lightweight and comfortable feel.

This sweet one-shoulder dress is made even more romantic with an adjustable tie at the waist and puffy sleeve. It has a slim fit but isn’t too tight, so you’ll feel comfortable dancing all night long, and the side ties and ruching at the waistband will flatter your waist. “It has a formal yet casual feel to it,” says Michelle R., an Amazon reviewer. “The elastic waistband is super stretchy, and the tie does not come attached to the dress so you can wear it with or without the tie. I'm 5-foot-7 and this dress goes all the way to the floor, so it is tall girl-friendly.” Plus, the long hemline has a knee-length slit at the side of the dress, so it’s not only beautiful, it’s functional, too.

While florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, the sleek yet feminine silhouette of this dress is eye-catching—particularly the crisp square neckline and sexy spaghetti straps. And it’s fully functional, too. The back slit offers some wiggle room when you're moving and grooving, but it also adds a sultry touch to this romantic dress. Made with 100 percent silk, the material will slide like butter against your skin, but because it has fixed straps and a full-length skirt, shorter women may need to make alterations—though you can get those done for free by following Reformation's instructions.

Monique Lhuillier dresses are known to be whimsical and romantic, and this blue beauty is no exception. The intricate floral pattern looks 3D, since it sits on a luxurious guipure lace overlay. It boasts a flattering A-line shape that gathers at the smallest part of your waist then drifts into a voluminous bottom half. The gals will look great too, thanks to the sweetheart neckline that shows off just a smidge of cleavage.

Stun your wedding date in this gorgeous maxi. It has a tiered skirt and is made of a romantic looking lace material. The ruffles add a bit of femininity, as does the plunge neckline. Nanette B., a Lulu’s shopper, was a little iffy about the fit around her chest, but came up with a tactful solution that allowed her to wear the gown comfortably. She says, “It was a little low cut for me, so I added a lace panel for modesty purposes.” And even with lining underneath the lace overlay, the dress remains airy and lightweight. Psst...the tiered design may end up concealing a few insecurities, too. “The dress accentuates the waist and decreases the look of my big hips. Overall, it’s a classy-looking formal dress for an evening wedding or any formal occasion,” she adds.

This ASTR the Label dress is the perfect example of how to standout without upstaging the bride. Just look at the striking asymmetrical hem on the A-line silhouette. It’s a hybrid between a midi and maxi, beginning just below your knee and swooping to the top of your ankle, and it’s made with a flowy chiffon fabric that adds a touch of drama. Even better? It’s lined, so there’ll be no see-through mishaps in any of the photos. But back to the material—even though chiffon is known to wrinkle easily due to its thin, delicate nature, one shopper suggest otherwise. She writes, “The gorgeous fabric will never wrinkle no matter how you store it. The only downside is that I expected it to be longer based on model height, [but it was] a bit shorter than expected.” For any busty women, she recommends selecting one size up for a comfortable fit that won’t suffocate your boobs.

A strapless midi dress will photograph beautifully at a spring wedding, especially thanks to the fitted shape and ruched draping, which naturally slims your figure. It’s made from a four-way stretch fabric that’s designed to mold to your body. Like the previous cult-favorite Norma Kamali, this pick possesses the same built-in bodysuit, so you shouldn’t have to consider shapewear. “It fit great and was very comfortable,” raves an Anthropologie reviewer who wore the dress to her daughter’s wedding rehearsal. The bust is double lined, but buyers assure that you can wear a strapless bra with it, too. Our only qualm? The bottom of the dress may make it difficult to dance in.

“This dress is breezy and chic,” writes one J.Crew shopper. “The flower pin is removable, [and] the straps are adjustable enough where you could probably shift the deep plunge up a few inches to more of an empire waist (but why would you?!).” A dress that comes with a customizable plunge and is made from 100 percent organic cotton …what more could a gal ask for? We love how the pink and green motif breaks up the bright red gown, though this style also comes in a solid pink, for anyone still on the Barbiecore train. “Only thing missing are the typical J.Crew pockets,” she adds.

What to Consider When Shopping for Spring Wedding Guest Dresses
- Consider trends (but don't feel beholden to them): When it comes to trending dresses for spring 2024, we’re unsurprisingly seeing a ton of bright colors and lots of one-shoulder picks. Still, while it’s fun to jump on trends, it never hurts to opt for a timeless pick like a classic black gown. If you do want to try out a trend but would rather not go too far out of your comfort zone, a great, low-commitment way to try out a trend is by opting for a fun shoe, bag or necklace instead of a dress.
- Steer clear of lengths and fits you tend to not like (no matter how hard you try): OK, this sounds self-explanatory, but if you hate high-neck dresses on yourself, don’t buy a high-neck dress. Just because your favorite influencer looked incredible in the high-neck mini dress she wore for her sister’s wedding doesn’t mean you have to get it too.
- Sometimes, the practical choice is the best choice: Since you’ll probably wear this dress more than once, you want to grab something that’s comfortable (think wrap dresses or softer fabrics). You’ll also want to gravitate toward comfortable shoes that won’t kill your feet before the reception even starts, like a black or nude strappy block heel.
- Pay close attention to the material: Whatever you do, don’t forget to glance at the fabric. The wedding’s location, time and dress code all play a part in what materials you’ll want to search for, but don’t forget to consider what works best for your body. Whether you run hot or cold or are searching for a breezy frock that’ll withstand the heat of an outdoor wedding, there are plenty of factors that can affect your decision between velvet, chiffon, polyester, linen or cotton.
