I Found The Best Places To Shop For A Wedding Guest Dress So You Don't Have To

Wedding season is upon us. After hours of research, crowdsourcing and self torture, I've curated the best places to find a dress that'll turn heads. Note: this list does not include sites from department stores, rental services or Zara affiliates.

Verge Girl

Verge Girl / Via vergegirl.com

This Aussie brand is high quality and reliable for some seasonal staples. They also include free 1-3 day express shipping when you're order is above $120 AU (roughly $98). They're currently running a buy 1 dress get one 30% off with code DRESS30. Run don't walk to the checkout. Check them out here.

Princess Polly

Princess Polly / Via us.princesspolly.com

Ok, Princess Polly isn't a secret, yet I find myself sharing where I got my clothing with people unaware of its magic more than any other shop. What's good about this site is that they allow reviews, which has helped me find my perfect size and stray away from items that are more likely returned. I also like that they have items both very on trend in addition to ones that will stand the test of time. Check them out here.

Shopbop

For a more sophisticated (and slightly more expensive) find, I highly recommend Shopbop. They have a fantastic variety of designer and luxury brands to choose from. Shop on Shopbop here.

Hello Molly

Hello Molly / Via hellomolly.com

G'day Mate. I mean, Molly. Hello Molly! This is another Aussie brand tried and true. The selection of dresses from here is more on the sexier side, which we don't have a problem with, do we ladies and gents? Also, they name their dresses similarly to nail polish which is a fun experience. Shop the looks here.

House of CB London

House of CB / Via houseofcb.com

I was made aware of this brand during my crowdsourcing efforts (aka harassing my IG followers for help). It looks like a very haute source for dresses, specifically if you're in the market for corset styles. They're so regal I think I have my eyes on this company for my next birthday bash. Buyer beware: there seems to be a fraud website called "CB Styles" which reviewers say is a knockoff of the London brand. Check out the real thing here.

ASTR the Label

ASTR / Via astrthelabel.com

This was suggested to me by two lovely amigas and I can see why. The satin dresses are in high supply and they include a ton of patterns. Check out the Gaia Floral Dress which has aa 5 star rating with 340 reviews! I can't stop thinking of Elle Fanning after scouring this website. Become Elle Fanning here.

Stelly

Stelly / Via stelly.com.au

Well well well, what do we have here? Another Australian brand? Must be something in the water. Stelly may not be too unique compared to the last two Aussie options I shared, but I felt like they showed a ton of pictures of girls on vacation, which I envy. Here's to manifesting an exotic wedding invvite in your future: Stelly.

Reformation

Reformation / Via thereformation.com

Reformation is a sustainable fashion brand with store locations across the US as well as Canada and the UK. What I like: Their mission is to reduce waste within the fashion industry. What I dislike: Last year they were under some fire when Founder, Yael Aflalo made racist comments. You can read about the actions the company has made in response here. Also, although they have great quality clothes, the price is a tad high for my wallet. Shop Reformation here.

Lulus

Lulus / Via lulus.com

I can't go more than a sentence talking about wedding guest dresses without the word Lulus being thrown at my face. Although I've never purchased from here, it seems to be a family favorite. They even have an entire portion of their site dedicated to weddings and Wedding Guest Dresses.

Revolve

Revolve / Via revolve.com

Similar to Shopbop, they sell hundreds of dresses from a number of labels and consist of a range of prices going from $40-$1000+. I like shopping on this site because it's easy to sort what you want. I recommend the "To A Special Event" section. This is the place you shop when you want to make a statement. Try not to outshine the bride too much here.

Lovers + Friends

Lovers + Friends / Via loversandfriends.us

This is a friendly brand. Their dresses always catch my eye and I find myself close to the checkout button... If you're going for a shorter dress, this is a sound spot. You'll see this brand sprinkled across the sites like Revolve and Asos, but for a full L+F effect, check out the website directly here.

For Love and Lemons

For Love and Lemons / Via forloveandlemons.com

When I was in a sorority, I coveted this brand. It's lacy but not tacky, short but classy. If you fit the tax bracket to be able to drop bank on this site, you go do that. I implore you. I support you. Live out my childhood dreams here.

Asos

Asos / Via asos.com

I feel like Asos should have been a lot sooner on this list, but most people are Asos-aware. Similar to Revolve, this is another website to browse different brands. Very appreciative of the Body Fit toggle feature on the filters. You can search by Maternity, Petite, Tall and Plus Size. Take a gander at their Wedding Guest Dress section here.

Lucy in the Sky

Lucy in the Sky / Via lucyinthesky.com

Now, we won't even begin to dive into the name of this place right now, but I discovered this brand embarrassingly on Tik Tok, and even worse, from a young women going to prom... Anyway the brand is actually quite pretty with a lot of velvet, thigh cuts, and sparkles. If you're into the glamor/glitz or just want a more youthful look, here's your chance.

Mirror Palais

Mirror Palais / Via mirrorpalais.com

Ok. I saved the best for last. If you've made it this far you get a reward. The reward and honor of knowing what Mirror Palais is. Even though they're almost always out of stock (to my horror), the creator, Marcelo Gaia, is an artistic genius. He expertly creates these beautiful pieces of wearable art. Even Kylie Jenner was just spotted donning a dress recently. Let your eyes and soul go to the spa here.
