Involved in a wedding this season? Congratulations!
Whether you’re in the wedding party or simply attending, your DYT Experts have tips to support you in Dressing Your Truth on the big day.
Pay attention to your 5 Elements of Dressing Your Truth: color, design line, fabrication, texture, and pattern. Even if the colors aren’t exactly your type there are ways to dress true to you while still honoring the requests of the bride. Watch the video for your Type (or all for extra insight) as your DYT Expert gives you what you need to know to look amazing on that special day.
– Type 1 Wedding Wear –
Are you ready to get Marcy’s creative ideas for finding darker (but not black!) formal wear?
Plus, she has a solution for you when you are in the wedding party and simply must wear black because the bride asks you to.
Weddings have the potential to be stressful but realize that your light nature is a gift to everyone involved. The joy you bring to the world just by being you is truly breathtaking.
– Type 2 Wedding Wear –
Michelle is here to teach you how to find your most elegant–and comfortable–formal dresses.
A lot of formal dresses have beautiful (but scratchy!) sequins so they just don’t make the comfy-cut.
Ready to find out how to select something that has fluid, flowing design lines and colors and is so comfortable you can wear it late into the evening if you choose to?
Plus, Michelle shares what to do if you’re in the wedding party and you can’t choose what color you’re wearing.
– Type 3 Wedding Wear –
What if you can’t wear your rich Type 3 shades? I’ve got you covered! Tune in to hear my suggestions on dressing rich and dynamic without upstaging the bride, and making sure that you can move swiftly on this busy day.

– Type 4 Wedding Wear –
Whether you’re in the wedding party, or you’re attending, Deborah’s got you covered.

More special occasion tips:
Really helpful — thank you, Marcy. I appreciate your perspective and insight since you’ve been the mother at six weddings! We Type 1 women can never just “show up, shut up, and wear beige” — LOL, soooo not our nature!
It’s good to have confirmation that, when we are asked to follow a wedding color palette that doesn’t align with our Type 1 DYT guide, the priority is to honor the wishes of the person being married. It’s useful to see how we can bring in the other elements of our guidelines (design line, texture, fabrication, pattern) to make the outfit as Type 1 as possible!
This will be so helpful in the future! I am in an in-between stage of life where my kids are in college and I haven’t been to a wedding lately. But I’m going to remember this for when that time comes! I always appreciate what you share Marcy– you always do things with a lot of class!
Wow, I totally LOVE your black & white formal dress!! I’d love to have a copy of it in another color too. The collar is UH-MAZING! Thanks for the tips on using the other 4 design elements.
I’m a Type 4 with a wedding to attend (October). I have four dresses in mind and had asked my sisters for input. It was the first time I’d heard “don’t wear red to a wedding.” Meanwhile the red dress I have in mind seems the most appropriate. I clicked on this video because of the title — choosing the right color. I’m pleased that this video really helped me to think again about the cut and style in addition to the color of the dress I’ll ultimately choose. Marcy, your advice is wise and uplifting. Thank you.
