Have you been invited to an upcoming wedding? Do you need a new dress for the event? Feeling overwhelmed with all the selections that are out there?
We’ve made your shopping easier by gathering a list of wedding guest dresses for older women. Knee-length or mid-calf cocktail dresses are a great option as well as maxi dresses. Make sure you know what type of wedding you will be attending. A garden or beach wedding may require a different style of dress than a black-tie formal event.
This elegant formal gown available at Macy’s is offered in several colors and is perfect for the black-tie wedding. It has a delicately sequined lace bodice and half sleeves.
The waterfall front detail of the skirt and the rhinestone embellishment at the waist are the perfect addition to the sophisticated styling of this dress.
Accessorize the dress with rhinestone or crystal jewelry for an ultra-sophisticated look.
This elegant floral print shirt dress is easily dressed up or down depending on the wedding you are attending. For example, wear it with black pumps for a fancy wedding and flat strappy sandals for a less formal wedding.
