Beaded White Dress

Every beaded white dress here is chosen for bridal events and pale summer parties, from a short cocktail cut for the reception to a long ivory gown for the ceremony. Beadwork catches the light without needing color, which is why white and beads have paired well since the 1920s. To see the other colors, return to our beaded flapper dresses.

White Beaded Wedding Dress and Bridal Options

Brides choosing a 1920s look have several routes here. The White Beaded Wedding Dress and the Wedding Dress with Beaded Straps are designed for the ceremony itself. For a city-hall wedding or an elopement, a shorter dress feels more relaxed and still looks special in photos. Plan any alterations early, since beaded seams take longer to adjust.

White Beaded Mini Dress for the Reception and Bachelorette

A short dress lets you dance freely once the formal part is over. The White Beaded Mini Dress, the Beaded White Cocktail Dress and the Sequin Beaded Mini Dress in white suit a reception outfit change, a bridal shower or a bachelorette weekend. Silver heels or nude ones keep the legs looking long.

White Beaded Fringe Dress for Movement

Fringe swings with every step, which is exactly what a Charleston lesson or a swing-band set calls for. The White Beaded Fringe Dress and the Beaded Fringe Mini Dress in white combine beads with a loose hem. See our white fringe dress page for more swinging styles.

White Beaded Maxi Dress and Sleeved Styles

For a floor-length look in ivory white, compare the White Beaded Long Dress with the beaded gown and maxi styles. Ivory is warmer than optic white and flatters olive and golden skin especially well. If you want coverage, the White Beaded Dress with Sleeves and the white Long Sleeve Beaded Dress suit a winter wedding or a church ceremony.

Beaded White Dress FAQ

Can a guest wear a white beaded dress to a wedding?

Usually not, since white is traditionally reserved for the bride. Save these dresses for bridal events, all-white parties or occasions where the couple has asked guests to wear white.

How do I clean a beaded white dress?

Dab small marks using a cloth dampened with a drop of mild soap, and avoid rubbing the beads. For anything larger, take it to a dry cleaner who handles beaded garments.

Is ivory white the same as cream?

They are close. Ivory white has a slight warm tint, softer than bright white but lighter than a true cream.
