This After Six maxi bridesmaid dress can be restyled and worn for so many spring and summer events - bridal or baby showers, summer concerts in the park, brunch with the ladies and more! When paired with the right accessories, this maxi dress will be perfect for any event long after the wedding!

Bridesmaid Dress of the Week: After Six 6705

How elegant is this After Six bridesmaid dress? This gown gives off such a glamorous vibe with its combination of chiffon and satin fabrics. If you are inspired by the Hollywood glam of this gown, then it may be the perfect dress for your bridal party! 

 

We love the way the matte satin bodice flows into the lux chiffon floor-length skirt. The bodice has a modified halter neckline with a v-detail at the center front. This intricate detail carries over to the back of this gown as well. 

 The palomino color is very alluring and carries on with that glamorous style. If this color is not your own personal style, After Six offers this dress in almost 90 different options. This gives every bride so many different options if they are in love with this style. It is totally customizable to your wedding theme!

If your a glitz & glam kind of girl, then having your bridesmaids wear party-ready metallic dresses is a great option! Plus, who doesn't love some sparkle? Metallic bridesmaid dresses offer the perfect palette for year-round weddings and there are so many great options available at Miss Ruby in both cocktail & floor length styles.

Wedding Inspiration: Limeade

A new bridemaids dress in a brand new color is making a big impact in our store! After Six #6689 (pictured below) is sampled in a stunning shade of lux chiffon called "Limeade," and although it's difficult to see in the picture, the color is a soft shade of neon green.

Because it is so playful and unique, we can see this color becoming incredibly popular for upcoming summer weddings. This inspired us to make an Inspiration Board of color, perfect for brides who don't shy away when it comes to bright colors and bold statements.

Bridesmaids Dress Remix - After Six 6598

This Bridesmaids Dress remix is special - not just because its winter-party themed, but because the dress pictured comes from our Sample Sale Rack!  Because of all of our 2014 new arrivals, we are running out of room in our store for all of our great dresses! Our loss is your gain, because most of the dresses on our sample sale rack are only $25! A small price to pay to look holiday chic!

After Six 6598
Nothing is more perfect for a holiday party than a jewel tone dress, as bright colors fit perfectly into the holiday palette. Because they are such rich colors, they need no competition when it comes to accessories. That's why we paired this look with classic closet staples like a blazer and black ankle boots. Bringing in touches of gold and jewel-tones that mirror the dress' color (like the teal and gold earrings below) make the dress really "pop." And be sure to leave room for subtle touches of fun, like the cheetah-print cell phone case pictured below.

Bridesmaids Dresses by Body Type

When it comes to bridesmaids (and women in general), no two are exactly alike - that's why picking one dress that every girl looks good in can sometimes be a challenge. Many brides have chosen to pick a unifying color (rather than dress) and let their bridesmaids pick a dress that flatters their unique body type. Whether you are a bride considering this option, or a bridesmaid looking for the perfect dress, check out which dresses look the best on each body type. The best part? Miss Ruby Boutique carries all the dresses pictured below!

Body Type: Busty

Just as the name implies, busty girls have a lot going on up top. We all know no girl wants to be worried about having a wardrobe malfunction at the wedding, so we always recommend dresses with thick straps and a neckline that enhances your two best features. But remember, before you get your dress, invest in some quality undergarments - they are a must for busty girls!

Body Type: Pear Shaped

If your bottom is the biggest part of your body, then you are a "pear-shaped" girl. For these ladies, the trick is finding a dress that accentuates a small waist but also flatters her figure. We recommend a dress with a cinched waist and a fuller skirt. Luckily this 1950's silhouette is back in style and finding a dress that accentuates your features is a breeze!

Watters 9612

Body Type: Hourglass

Girls with this classic silhouette have the unique advantage of having the most versatile figure to dress. To accentuate an Hourglass figure, the trick is playing up your curves to your advantage. A dress with a v-neckline and a cinched waist will hit you in all the right places and make you look gorgeous!

Body Type: Slender

Slender girls have a straight up-and-down body type without too many curves. For this body type, a few more fashion risks can be taken, so we definitely recommend wearing something trendy and modern. Dresses with a peplum won't add any volume in the hips. Also, classic sheath dresses look the best on this body type.
