Bachelorette Dresses 

If your group isn’t doing matching shirts, you can wear a pretty dress, instead. Depending on your party activities, you can choose anything from a casual sundress to a cocktail dress.

If you want a few fun bachelorette party accessories, matching headbands or sashes are a great addition to your outfits.

 
 
 

Plus Size Bachelorette Party Dress

A little black dress is always a great choice. It’s perfect for any activity, from a winery tour to a dinner party. A floral maxi dress would be great to wear to a brunch, lunch or spa day bachelorette party. Or, for a ladies night out bachelorette party, you can’t go wrong with a flirty red dress, or a body con cocktail dress.

White Bachelorette Dress For the Bride

If you’re the bride, this is your opportunity to wear all the white. If you’re looking for a white bachelorette dress for your party, you can wear a white party dress or a cocktail dress. Or you can look for a dress that has a bit of a wedding vibe, with pearls, lace or chiffon.

 
 
 
 

White Bachelorette Dress Plus Size Bride

If you want a plus size white dress for your bachelorette, there’s lots of online stores that offer extended sizing. You can look for casual wedding dresses, white cocktail dresses or white maxi dresses. Decide what style to wear, based on the types of activities you’ll be doing at your party.

Bachelorette Party Outfits For a Spa Day

Your bachelorette outfit for a spa day will depend on where the party’s being held. You might be going to a salon for spa treatments. If you’ll be doing hydrotherapy or massages, you’ll probably be wearing a robe for most of the party. A wrap dress or maxi dress will be easy to change in and out of.

If you’re planning your bachelorette party on a budget, it might be an at home spa day. You probably won’t be undressing, but you might be doing face masks, manicures and pedicures. A cute and casual dress or romper would be perfect for an at home bachelorette party.

 
 

Bachelorette Party Outfits For a Pool Party

The number one item for a pool party is a swimsuit. Choose one based on your personal style and comfort level. There’s lots of options online, from bikinis to a one piece. And don’t forget a cute cover up.

 
 
 

Bachelorette Weekend Packing List

If you’re lucky enough to be planning an entire weekend, you’ll need to sort out a few extra outfits. When you make your packing list, start by thinking about the location. For a cottage weekend, you’ll want more casual clothes. For a Vegas weekend, you’ll probably want to bring dressier outfits.

Next, check the bachelorette party itinerary. Most schedules will be a mix of casual and semi-formal, like a scavenger hunt during the day, then a night out on the town. Choose an outfit for each activity on your list.

Add your socks, undies and pajamas. And if there’s a beach or swimming pool, add a swimsuit to your list.
