An Izabel London guide to dressing up for the special occasions
in your calendar.
Spring has officially arrived, and with it comes… invitations. Invitations to weddings, christenings, birthday parties, and anything else you can think of. Spring marks the start of longer days and brighter evenings, so now is the time to dust the cobwebs from your special occasion wardrobe. It’s a new season, with new occasions to dress up for!
Use this Izabel London style guide as inspiration to find your new favourite special occasion dress. From floral maxi dresses for weddings, to evening gowns ready for your next birthday party; whatever the invitation, we have the perfect dress to match.
Boost your confidence with a figure-flattering wrap dress, or keep it relaxed with a laid-back shift dress, paired with statement heels and jewellery. Filter by style for a beautiful fit on every figure, then choose the perfect print to suit your style, or opt for a neutral shade that you can wear over and over.
Don’t forget to explore sizes up to UK 26 in our Izabel Curve range, offering elegant plus-size dresses for every occasion.
If any print is perfect for spring, it’s floral! Celebrate the warmer weather in style with a wide range of vibrant flowery prints on elegant evening dresses; from abstract shapes to ditsy daisies.
Choose from a variety of beautiful florals and colour palettes to suit your wardrobe. What better way is there to spread the love at a spring wedding than by wearing a romantic rose print maxi dress? And when it comes to evenings out on holiday, try a breathable floral midi dress that will keep you cool and on-trend. Remember you can always layer a scarf or a cardigan over a short sleeve dress if you get chilly.
Evening dress codes call for special finishing touches, and our long sleeve maxis are perfect for that floaty and formal finish. Choose semi sheer mesh layered textures for a subtle-yet-stylish touch of glamour, or opt for a tie waist for a tummy-flattering look. These dresses also have a slimming a-line shape that will drape beautifully over your figure.
Finding the perfect short dress to match your event’s dress code can be tough. For cocktail or black-tie attire, sticking to a maxi length hem is your safest option; but most formal dress codes and spring wedding invitations will usually allow for a short or knee length dress.
Filter by dress feature for the perfect shape to suit your event, from skater dresses to shirt dresses. Remember daytime weddings might call for a long sleeve or 1/2 sleeve dress for a more conservative look to cover up your arms. A short sleeve dress is the perfect choice for party invitations or a special night out with the girls.
Opt for flattering finishing touches like front buttons, tie waists, and ruffled textures that will add something extra to your look every time – just what you need for a special occasion.
For a fit that’s flattering on every figure, we are loving our tiered dresses. These beautiful styles have a voluminous skirt with a tiered shape, designed to lengthen the appearance of your legs for a slimming look. Pair with heeled wedges for maximum effect.
Our tiered dresses are often finished with subtle lace details and a midi or maxi length hem. Other beautiful features include empire fits for extra comfort around your waist (perfect for dinner plans!), flared sleeves, and high necklines. Choose from vibrant summery colours for outdoor occasions, and trending powder blue dresses for weddings – just like the midi dress pictured above.
When it comes to summer style, nothing beats a white dress. It’ll keep you feeling cool and looking elegant, whether you’re on the dancefloor at a party or enjoying a special date night on holiday.
Dress for summer gatherings in a beautiful cami strap dress, complete with a tiered shape for a floaty fit around your legs. For formal dress codes, nothing beats lace details and semi sheer long sleeves. White also makes the perfect base colour for elegant finishing touches such as sequins, intricate embroidery, and Broderie Anglaise textures.
And one last style tip… Everyone knows that wearing white as a wedding guest is a big no-no. But this season we designed the perfect white evening dress, so why not celebrate it as a budget-friendly wedding dress option? Calling all brides-to-be: if you’re looking for a stylish wedding dress on a budget, this might be the perfect option. It’s also great for other romantic occasions such as hen parties, engagement celebrations, and anniversaries.
