10 Hijabi-Friendly Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer 2025

10 Hijabi-Friendly Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer 2025

Wedding season is upon us! Everyone loves weddings, myself included, though the last one I attended was my own just over two years ago. Since becoming a hijabi, I haven't had to struggle much with event-wear, but I've realized that if I were invited to a wedding I wouldn't have anything to wear. Speculating about this is what prompted me to start scouring my favorite sites for hijabi-friendly modest wedding guest dresses. This is the summer to invest in a beautiful event dress you can enjoy wearing to formal occasions for years to come!

I've included several dresses that feature illusion necklines, which can easily be layered with an undershirt. Though all the dresses are full length, high necked, and long-sleeved, they vary in formality and style so you can find a suitable match depending on the details of the event. 

5 of the 10 dresses included in this list are by Mac Duggal, an American brand that draws its inspiration from traditional Indian beadwork and embroidery. I love how luxurious their designs are, and so many of the dresses from their brand are perfect for women looking for more modest options.

1. Mac Duggal, Beaded Bishop Sleeve Satin Gown

 

This fully lined sparkling berry number features an elegant rhinestone collar. 

 

 

 

2. Jason Wu Collection, Side Gathered Gown

 

This canary-yellow Jason Wu gown is perfect for an outdoor event. The color evokes happiness and optimism, making it the perfect choice for a wedding.

 

 

 

3. Victoria Beckham, Ruched Long Sleeve Gown

 

While this dress does feature a small leg slit, I think it could be worked around fairly easily with the addition of some opaque black tights or leggings. The contrasting black and green here really speaks to me.

 

 

4. Solid & Striped, The Soglio Maxi Dress

 

We love a color-block moment! The Soglio Maxi Dress in Evergreen & Sky is an ideal choice for someone shopping for a drop-waist silhouette.

 

 

5. Mac Duggal, Long Sleeve Embellished Evening Gown

 

Radiant gold, intricate beadwork. What's not to love? 

 

 

 

 

6. Mac Duggal, Embellished Gown

 

This gown is perfect for someone shopping for an empire waist silhouette. The beadwork is incredible!

 

 

 

7. Mac Duggal, Embellished High Neck Long Sleeve Gown

 

The natural-waisted counterpart to the previous gown. The cascading blossom embellishments are absolutely stunning!

 

 

 

8. Mac Duggal, Long Sleeve Taffeta Embellished 3D Flower Detail Ball Gown

 

This taffeta gown stands out with a large 3D beaded flower at the shoulder.

 

 

9. Teri Jon by Rickie Freeman, Long Sleeve Pleated Maxi Dress

 

This pleated floor-sweeping number lights up the room with its sunny floral print.

 

 

10. Monique Lhuillier, Petal Appliqué Illusion Trumpet Gown

 

This stunning illusion gown features petal-embroidered appliqué and a 100% silk lining. The train definitely puts this dress on the more formal side.
