j jill dresses for wedding guest J. Knee-length Women J. Jill Wearever Collection Black

This silhouette is stunning on many body types, but it particularly flatters brides with an hourglass figure, as it highlights the waist-to-hip ratio

This phenomenal dress by Erdem (more sizes here) does a lot of the work for me, it takes a summery eyelet and adds structure through interesting gathers and a fitted bodice as well as a fall-appropriate longer hemline and general elegance that is well suited to both seasons

Custom-made coats from Hockerty start at competitive price points with the advantage of perfect fit a key factor since off-the-rack coats are rarely sized for layering over suits

Use orange juice instead of lemon in the dressing for a unique citrus-orange taste.
