Occasion Dresses

Shop Special Occasion Dresses for Weddings, Parties & More

There's a dress for every invitation, and Lace & Beads has spent years working out what women actually want to wear to them. Our formal occasion dresses cover weddings, christenings, black-tie dinners and everything with a dress code in between, while lighter styles suit a summer garden party just as well. Occasion dresses for weddings make up a good part of the range too, so guests, bridesmaids and mothers of the bride will all find something that fits the brief.

Maxi, Midi or Mini? Choosing the Right Dress Length

• Go for an occasion maxi dress when the invitation says black-tie, or the venue calls for something floor-length, such as an evening wedding reception.
• Reach for a midi occasion dress when you want to look dressed up without going full formal, ideal for daytime weddings or a smart lunch.
• Pick an occasion dress in mini length for cocktail parties, birthdays or any night out where you want to move freely and show a bit more leg.
• Choose knee-length occasion dresses if you want something that sits comfortably between smart and playful, good for most guest-list occasions.
