I think my online shopping fatigue has officially reached an all-time high. Which is funny, because I remember being a kid watching TLC's Say Yes to the Dress and thinking I was fully qualified to judge bridal fashion. Now I'm spending hours scrolling through dresses, and somehow, with everything available at the click of a button, finding something I like feels harder than ever.

Maybe that's what led me to become an editor, because I've certainly had my fair share of fashion disappointments. I'll love the color of a dress, but hate the silhouette. I'll find a brand I love, but the prints are doing way too much in an attempt to stand out. Or I'll order something that looks incredible online, only for the material to feel cheap or the fit to be completely off in-person. And with the ever-increasing price of clothes these days, I don't think it's unreasonable to want something of quality that can be worn more than once – without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Which is why I wanted to try Amanda Uprichard. The brand has a little bit of everything for wedding season, from colorful guest dresses to more understated bridal pieces, and I was curious to see if the pieces passed my personal litmus test. I tried four pieces, and while I definitely have a favorite, I also have some thoughts on sizing, fabrics, and which ones I'd recommend adding to cart for any future wedding season.

Best For: Wedding guests, destination weddings, cocktail attire, bridal showers, vacations, and dancing.

My Sizing Recommendation: Start true to size. For fuller chests (like myself!), I'd recommend a simple nude strapless bra. Smaller pasties can work if you don't need as much support, but most of my supportive bras interfered with the design.

Care Level: High Maintenance — Dry clean only. The fabric of this design is prone to creasing, particularly around the ruffled hem. Store in a garment bag if you have one.

My Take: First of all, this color is phenomenal. The midi length is perfect for me (I’m 5’7 for reference). It’s chic without being overly formal, and the ruffled bottom is gorgeous when you're dancing. I wouldn't necessarily consider this black-tie appropriate, so double-check the wedding dress code before purchasing.

My biggest issue was the wrinkling. The dress arrived folded into pretty small packaging, and the creases were difficult to get out, especially around the bottom. I'd definitely recommend getting it professionally cleaned or pressed before an event, with the care label in mind. That said, I think this is one of those dresses you'll find plenty of excuses to wear again.

Best for the Minimalist Bride

Best For: Brides, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers,and other bridal festivities.

Sizing Recommendation: Size up, especially if you're fuller-chested. This was the least forgiving fit of the four pieces.

Care Level: High Maintenance — Dry clean only!!

My Take: I couldn't put together a wedding season roundup without including something for the brides, too. I picked the Senna Maxi specifically for bridal showers or really any celebration leading up to the big day.

This number does have a little Bridgerton energy to it with the lace cap sleeves and neckline detailing, but not so-much-so that it appears old-fashioned or costume-like. I think the timeless trims are what makes this piece so pretty. It has a very regal, main character of a romance novel vibe.

My one note is the fit. This was definitely the least forgiving piece I tried for my chest. If you're fuller-busted, I'd recommend sizing up, although a minimizing balconette bra might help you get away with your usual size. It's a beautiful dress, but I'd give yourself some timing flexibility due to sizing rather than ordering it right before an event.

Best for Giving an Old Dress New Life

Rachel Cape

Code:

Best For: Bridal events, formal occasions, and refreshing dresses already in your wardrobe.

Sizing Recommendation: Size up to M/L if you have a fuller bust for a more flattering fit.

Care Level: Low Maintenance — Gentle machine wash and line dry, following the care label.

My Take: This might be the easiest styling trick I've discovered in a while. I have two House of CB dresses that I love but haven't worn in years, and adding this cape made them feel completely new.

The material is fantastic and has a really nice weight to it, unlike some capes and shawls that can feel flimsy. I got so many questions and compliments, and honestly, I didn't have to buy an entirely new outfit.

Plus, the way it flows behind you when you're walking down stairs? I felt like a princess. It brings just the right amount of drama without taking away from the dress underneath.

I also love the idea of buying something that makes you excited about clothes you already own. As someone who has spent far too much time convincing herself she needs a new dress for every occasion, this felt like a pretty good discovery.

Best Overall

Elroy Maxi in Daylily

$299
$299
Code:

Best For: Wedding guests, cocktail receptions, and anyone looking for a statement dress.

Sizing Recommendation: Start true to size. The silhouette was particularly flattering on my fuller chest without making my upper body look boxy.

Care Level: Moderate to High Maintenance — Dry clean only.

My Take: Hands down, my favorite of this entire lineup. I wore this to a wedding and could barely walk across cocktail hour without someone stopping me to ask about this dress.

The lily print is bright and maximalist, but the silhouette keeps everything feeling elevated. I love a good print, but personally believe there’s a fine line between a bold fashion choice and something takes over, almost like it's wearing you. This one gets the balance right.

I also think this is a fantastic option for all chest sizes. For larger chests, it gives coverage without making you look boxy or top-heavy. I didn't feel like I had to choose between looking good and feeling comfortable, and that's a pretty big selling point for me. Of all four pieces, this is the one I'd reach for again without a second thought.
