Slip dresses are stunningly minimalist. They’re the ideal choice for the bride who wants a fresh, clean, and pared-down look. However, just because a white slip dress is sleek and simple doesn’t mean it has to be unadorned. The traditional slip dress has a loose silhouette and spaghetti straps, but there are numerous opportunities for embellishment.
Brides can choose a plunging neckline, lace trim, or all-over beading. Perhaps the best part about a slip dress is the enhanced functionality. They can go from aisle to afterparty seamlessly! If your heart is set on a slip dress, we’ve got the perfect list, encompassing every type of bride and budget.

Styling A Slip Dress
A slip dress offers a flawless canvas on which to show your personality through accessories, shoes, and even your hairstyle. Because the look is so sleek and minimalist, you can afford to go a little bolder with your styling choices. Alternatively, a bride can opt to keep her entire look elegant and unadorned, which naturally complements the characteristics of the slip dress. Talk about versatility!
Hairstyles
There is no right or wrong hairstyle for a slip dress (brides rejoice!). From sleek updos to tousled curls, a slip dress’s fantastic adaptability looks great with any hair choice.
Accessories
The options are nearly endless! Try a bold statement necklace or a fun veil headpiece. Or, abide by the less is more rule and don a classic pair of studs or an elegant hair chain. Indeed, almost anything goes with a slip dress.
Shoes
Slip dresses can work very well for the casual or boho bride who chooses to wear illusion sandals or no shoes. However, chic heels, strappy sandals that mirror the spaghetti straps of the dress, or even flats can all pair beautifully with a slip dress.
Undergarments
While there are many options for hair, shoes, and accessories that suit a slip dress, undergarments are a bit more limited. Because most slip dresses are silky and slinky, you’ll want to ensure your undergarments help your silhouette look smooth and free of seams. We recommend a bodysuit, a mini slip, or a control short for a seamless slip dress look.
21 White Slip Dresses
1. Cami Gown
by Nili Lotan
We adore this chic, straightforward, and exquisite gown.
Its long length makes it perfect wedding wear. When standing still, it appears as a gorgeous column of silk; however, because it’s cut on the bias, it offers incredible flexibility and stretch.
2. LILOU DRESS
by Galia Lahav
It’s the little details that make this diaphanous silk gown special.
Double cross-over spaghetti straps add interest to the traditional sleek top. At the same time, the super low cut back offers a touch of allure. Diagonal seaming on the front sets this dress apart from its straightforward competitors.
3. Sylvanna
by Jenny Yoo
If a modern, clean silhouette married Old Hollywood Glamor, this dress would be the result.
It’s utterly romantic with a flattering, soft cowl neckline and curve-hugging skirt. It is relaxed but sophisticated; this dress transitions effortlessly from the “I do’s” to the dance floor.
4. Le Lune Lace Back Maxi Dress
by Revolve
Brides who want a dash of drama will love this lace-up gown.
It has all the features of a classic slip dress from the front, including delicate straps and body-skimming silk. The intricate ties cross and lace, forming a lovely pattern in the back, perfect for a beach bride!
5. Meredith with sleeves
by Jenny Yoo
This dress truly is the best of both worlds.
The simplicity of a slip dress combined with some of the structure of a traditional gown. A gently sloping cowl neckline is complemented by beautifully draped sleeves. A form-fitting bodice, created by architecturally placed seams, pairs wonderfully with the flair of the skirt. And did we mention the buttons down the back?
6. Watters Mirrall Gown
by BHLDN
Casually chic with a touch of unexpected drama.
Simple doesn’t have to be boring; just look at the bold row of buttons! The one-shoulder design, thigh-high slit, and flounce-backed detailing just scream art-deco femininity.
7. The Nene Slip Dress
by MM LaFleur
If easy to wear is what you desire, this dress is a must.
A flattering bias cut, adjustable straps, and a diagonal seam allow this gown to flatter all body types. Silk charmeuse is undeniably elegant yet so comfortable you’ll never want to take this dress off!
8. Bronwyn
by Jenny Yoo
Slip dresses are certainly sultry, but modest brides shouldn’t be put off.
This sleeved slip dress is the perfect example of why. Dainty cap sleeves provide a touch of security in contrast to the décolletage-bearing neckline. The keyhole back allows just the right amount of skin to be shown.
9. Tullamore Dress
by Reformation
An instant classic, we’re head over heels for this Reformation gown.
Lace trim on the hem, a darling button-up back, and dainty straps allow you to feel glamorous while enjoying a relaxed fit. We also adore the romantic detail of the keyhole neckline.
10. All Saints Hadley Cowl Slip Dress
Edgy brides can rock a slip dress too!
This gown’s shorter length is excellent for showing off your converse or Doc Martens. Its pullover style and slip design are casually chic. Throw in a soft cowl for a bit of femininity, and you have the perfect modern, mini-slip dress.
11. Tea Length Seamless Slip
by Free People
There isn’t anything we don’t love about this gown.
Completely seamless, it offers an ethereal look. Stretch and soft, it slinks over your curves in just the right way. Wear it as is, or layer it under a lace cap for an added touch of elegance.
12. Marciana
by Jenny Yoo
A classic slip dress, elevated.
This dress has all the right features for brides who want a more traditional look. It has lots of classic bridal characteristics, from the illusion detailing on the low open back to the covered buttons and the flowing train. We especially enjoy how the 4-ply silk and crepe still appear like a slip dress while giving brides a bit more structure and coverage.
13. Vienna Dress
by Revolve
Pull-on this dress, and you’ll feel as if you’re enrobed in liquid silk.
Its tea length is ideal for an intimate ceremony at the courthouse or a seaside affair. Unique spaghetti straps arranged in a halter design tie are secured low in the back, adding lovely ruched detailing.
14. Abby
by Jenny Yoo
Effortless elegance is what this modern slip provides.
The traditional silhouette has been overhauled with an asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline. The sultry silk practically flows over your curves, making you feel as alluring as you look.
15. Jonathan Simkhai Satin Cowl Neck Gown
by Intermix
A vision in a column of silk!
That’s how we envision the newspaper headlines reading the day after your wedding. It pools beautifully into a petite train, while the high slit is perfect for peek-a-boo sexiness.
16. Forever Type of Love White Satin Sleeveless Mermaid Maxi Dress
by Lulus
This is a beautiful minimal mermaid wedding gown.
A traditional slip with a darted bodice and a classic mermaid skirt would look radiant in a formal affair or a casual ceremony. The satin fabric is undoubtedly stunning and a breeze to wear.
17. Claudia
by Jenny Yoo
We’re getting major 90s vibes, and we love it!
Tiny spaghetti straps, a straight neckline, and a slinky short skirt? Yes, please! This trend has returned, which is no surprise because it provides the perfect fit without numerous, painstaking fittings.
18. Tuscany Maxi Slip Dress
This is a gown Carolyn Bessette would be jealous of.
It’s an iconic slip dress silhouette, from the cowl neckline to the flattering drape of the skirt. Modern upgrades like a built-in shelf bra lining and criss-cross straps keep you comfortable and secure all day (and night) long.
19. Retrofit Katya Draped Slip Dress
by Intermix
Look perfectly polished while keeping it casual.
A thigh-high slit, an elongated hemline, and viscose allow for movement so you can comfortably dance the night away. It’s the ideal gown to dress up or down, depending on your wedding style.
20. Dasha
by Jenny Yoo
Make an eye-catching entrance and exit!
We’re obsessed with the soft, body-skimming satin that forms this dress. The pleated tapered straps that are a bit wider than usual are a lovely touch. After you say your vows and seal them with a kiss, guests will be treated to the low scoop illusion back covered in a delicate beaded floral applique.
21. Reyna Maxi Dress
by Revolve
Whether you want a stunning gown for your wedding day or your bachelorette party, this dress fits the bill.
The cowl neck dips low to reveal a sultry amount of décolletage. Pair it with the head-turning thigh-high slit, and you have a gown that will get your partner’s pulse racing.
Slip Into Your Perfect Wedding Dress
Trendy and timeless, we can’t envision the slip dress “slipping” from favor anytime soon. These gowns are an effortless wedding day choice because of their easy elegance and a relaxed fit that’s a breeze for brides to wear. In our eyes, spaghetti straps, a simple silhouette, and some radiant silk or satin form the ideal minimalist gown!
