Brides & Bridesmaids Survey

We just surveyed over 1,000 wedding parties to find out their most important bridesmaid dress features. Plus, scroll to the bottom to see our customer's favorite dresses.

Hopefully this information makes it easier for you to order the perfect dresses!


1. Free Exchanges
96% of customers say this is Important

Choosing a dress size can be difficult, especially when it's ordered months before the wedding. Many bridal salons have no exchange policy. Make sure to check before ordering.

We offer free exchanges on bridesmaid dresses so you can look your best on the big day.


2. Quality Zippers
92% of customers say this is Important

Nothing ruins a wedding day like a broken or snagged zipper.

Luckily, you can avoid this by choosing high-quality bridesmaids dresses with stronger zippers.

At Kennedy Blue, we use YKK zippers because they are prized in the garment industry for their impressive construction and reliability.


3. Fully Lined Skirts
92% of customers say this is Important

Double-lined skirts are a second layer of fabric in the skirt of a dress. This helps to avoid any embarrassing moments on your wedding day!

If your bridesmaids are wearing a light colored dress, you need double liners to avoid the dress being partially see through in certain lights (like outdoors).

Unless you want your guests' attention on your bridesmaid's polkadot underwear, invest in a double liner! For darker color dresses, typically a single liner will do the trick.

At Kennedy Blue, our light colored dresses are fully lined to avoid any embarrassment on your wedding day.


4. Matching Dye Lots
83% of customers say this is Important

This is only important if everyone in the wedding party is wearing the same color. Bridesmaid dresses not ordered together can have slight color variances due to different dye lots.

If you want to read more and avoid this issue, we have a whole article on this topic.

If you are planning to order from Kennedy Blue, our dresses are guaranteed to match as long as you order them within 6 months of each other!

DYE LOT example: A slight color variance between bridesmaid dresses due to different dye lots. Though the shade differences are minimal, you can see the dress on the right is lighter and more vibrant than the dress on the left.


5. Structure & Bra Cups
82% of customers say this is Important

The best thing about sewn-in bra cups is that you don't have to worry about wearing an expensive specialty bra, which can cost upwards of $50+. This is especially true of open back dresses.

Structure in the bodice creates support so your dress will keep its shape and fit better.

All Kennedy Blue bridesmaid dresses have sewn-in bra cups and most dresses include structure whenever needed.


6. Adjustable Straps
82% of customers say this is Important

Even when you pick the dress that fits you best, sometimes being able to adjust the top can make it even better. Something as simple as adjustable straps can help you find the perfect fit without paying extra for alterations. Adjustable straps are a convenient addition.

Most new Kennedy Blue dresses have adjustable straps included. See the product description for details.


7. Size Inclusivity
81% of customers say this is Important

You may have a range of sizes and body types represented in your wedding party. You want your crew to look and feel their best!

All Kennedy Blue dresses are available in sizes 00-32, so rest assured that everyone can find something comfortable and flattering. We also feature many popular dresses with different models to show this representation and make online shopping easier.


8. Stretch Liners
81% of customers say this is Important

Stretch liner is a softer, stretchier fabric that's more comfortable and moves better. You’ll be dancing the night away, so it’s important to wear something comfortable with flexible movement.

Most new Kennedy Blue dresses have stretch liners included. See the product description for details.


9. Pockets
50% of customers say this is Important

We were a little surprised that only half of brides and bridesmaids found pockets important. It’s not a necessary feature, but they’re great for carrying around small essential items like your phone or your lipstick for quick touch ups!

Many of our dresses have pockets, so check out some of our best sellers with pockets!
