Bachelorette Party Outfit Ideas (Hen Do Outfits Too)

A bachelorette party, or hen do in Britain, usually runs across two or three very different settings in one weekend. Plan the outfits by activity rather than by day.

For the bride

The bride is traditionally in white or ivory, which is the one weekend where that is the rule rather than the thing to avoid. A white satin mini or a corset dress reads clearly in photographs without needing a sash.

For the guests

Pick a shared colour rather than a shared dress, so everyone wears a shape that suits them. Black, chocolate and burgundy photograph well in bars and clubs, and they survive a spilled drink.

By activity

• Dinner. A satin slip or a ruched midi, with a knit or blazer for the walk between venues.
• Club night. A bodycon or corset mini that stays put when you dance, with stick-on support if the back is open.
• Daytime activity. A matching set or leggings and a vest that you can move in, then change for the evening.
• Morning after. A hoodie and joggers set from loungewear.

Where to look

Start with party minis and going out for the evenings, co-ords and sets for the daytime, and the bodycon edit if you want the closest fit.

UK to US size conversion

Kovelle sizes are shown in UK numbers in the United Kingdom and in US numbers in the United States and Canada, so you always shop in the sizing you know. The conversion is two sizes down from UK to US.

Every product page carries a Size and fit section with the body measurements for that piece, and a fit verdict that says whether it runs small, true to size or large.

Delivery, returns and paying

Every order is dispatched the same day. Standard delivery is free, express next day is available at checkout, and returns are free for 21 days from the day your order arrives. 20% off everything is applied automatically at checkout, so you pay 20% less than the price on the product page. Klarna is available in the United Kingdom, and PayPal, Google Pay and cards are accepted everywhere.

Questions people ask

What colour should the guests wear?

Anything that is not white, ivory or cream, since those are the bride's for the weekend. A single shared colour keeps the group photographs tidy.

What is a hen do?

It is the British name for a bachelorette party. The dressing conventions are the same.

How do I keep a mini dress in place while dancing?

Choose a ruched or ribbed stretch fabric that grips rather than a stiff woven, and use stick-on support with backless or halter styles.
