Formal

The items from this popular online store are consistently modest while also offering trendy fashion. This store retails items from other manufacturers.

Mikarose appears to be the original source for a variety of dresses, tops and skirts that are also stocked by several other modest clothing distributors. Most of the dresses are only knee length. Some of the necklines are also low, requiring added layers for modesty.

This boutique works with couture bridal and formal gown manufacturers to perform pattern alterations at the cutting stage to achieve a modest style with no piecing or seaming. Pictured is an original Anne Barge strapless style and the same dress with sleeves that was altered at the pattern stage prior to cutting. Brides' and bridesmaids' dresses from the following brands are available with alterations for modesty:

• Claire Pettibone
• Lea-Ann Belter
• Leanne Marshall
• Monique Lhuillier
• Augusta Jones
• Anne Barge
• Rivini
• Modern Trousseau
• Jenny Packham
• Hailey Page
• Watters
