In this time of unions under flowered arches, communions, and other celebrations, finding the right ceremony outfit is the foremost concern. To avoid the headaches of matching and harmonizing different pieces, the midi dress emerges as the perfect solution! Discover our tips below on how to wear it well.

How to put together the perfect ceremony outfit?

We all know that immense joy when receiving a wedding invitation, followed by a wave of panic of “but how am I going to dress?”. Reusing pieces from your wardrobe? Renting an outfit specifically for the occasion? Or buying a new outfit? So many questions rush through our minds… Between cut, color, and fabric, there are many choices to make.

The most important thing to create a ceremony outfit is to be consistent with the event. Start thinking about shades and patterns to maintain elegance without stealing the spotlight from those for whom the celebration is being held. If the invitation mentions a color code, take it into account to guide your choices. Opting for solid and soft colors will allow you to wear your pieces on other occasions, thus adopting a more responsible approach.

Next comes the moment to choose the pieces for your outfit. Dress, skirt, jumpsuit, or set? The most important thing is to feel comfortable in your ceremony outfit. Let’s say you don’t like showing your legs; in that case, you could wear a chic 7/8th pant ensemble with a matching jacket to create a total elegant look while remaining feminine, even without revealing your legs. Another solution, to keep an airy feel, is to opt for a midi dress!

Midi Dress: Definition

The midi dress is a bit of a solution when you can’t decide between a short dress and a long dress. Ending between the knee and the ankle, it allows you to wear a dress even if you don’t like showing your knees, without opting for a long version, which is not suitable for all body types. In recent years, midi skirts and dresses have allowed many women to reconnect with these pieces, especially to create beautiful ceremony looks.

Moreover, this cut offers many variations, adapting to different body shapes. From a simple and straight model to a more elaborate version with crossed panels in sheer fabric.

How to style a midi dress for a chic look?

The advantage of a dress, let’s admit it, is the simplicity of creating a look. It’s up to you to play with accessories, like belts, to adjust the dress to your size. Pairing well with both flat sandals or heels, choose the pair that will last with you all night on the dance floor. Depending on the model, a small crochet cardigan can be added in case of a chill. All that’s left is to add a few jewels and a small handbag, and your ceremony outfit is complete!
