Magda Butrym white dresses: the cream corset mini, the lace midi, the crochet and the sequin column

White at Magda Butrym is almost always cream: the house works in ivory silks, natural cotton crochet and cream lace rather than optical white, which is kinder to most skin tones and photographs softly. The shapes run from a V-neck corset mini to a crochet corset maxi and a sequin column gown, so there is a cream dress for a civil ceremony, a summer wedding, a holiday and a black-tie night. 17 white and cream dresses on Coveti, $1,790 to $14,670, median $3,070, 5 of them beach dresses. This page sorts them by occasion and says how each fits. Shop the Magda Butrym collection at Coveti, browse every designer dress at Coveti, and see the wedding guest guide before you wear white to someone else’s wedding.

For a civil ceremony

The V-neck corset mini in cream cotton and silk is the bride’s town-hall dress: boned, short and lined in silk. The sculptural neckline fitted dress in pure silk is the longer alternative, a plain column with a shaped neckline that needs no jewellery.

For a summer wedding as the bride

The corset crochet maxi is hand crochet in cream cotton over a boned bodice; the lace corset dress has the house sculptural neckline in cream lace. Pair either with the crochet satin ballerina heels. The ballerina heels page and the bridal shoes page have the shoes.

For a holiday

The cotton flower-detail beach dresses, mini and midi, are organic cotton with a fabric flower; the long-sleeve crepe beach dresses go over a swimsuit at lunch. The open-back halterneck balloon dress in white linen and viscose is the dinner dress. The swimwear guide has the suits underneath.

For black tie

The sequin backless column dress in cream, with a silk lining, is the most formal white piece the house makes. Wear it with nothing at the neck and a satin clutch.

As a guest

Do not wear cream to a wedding unless the couple asks for it. For other parties, the contoured midi with a lace hem and the silk slip with lace trim are the cream dresses that read as evening without reading as bridal. The black dress guide has the alternative.

Fit and care

The house cuts EU 32 to 42, which Coveti lists as UK 4 to 14 and US 0 to 10; the product pages that state a fit mostly say regular, and the model wears an EU 34. The corset dresses are cut to the ribcage, so size by the bust and waist; the crochet stretches a little, the silk does not. Dry clean the silk, lace, sequin and corset pieces; lay crochet flat in tissue; keep cream away from new denim and dark bag straps, which transfer dye.
