The Best Church Dresses For Women Over 50
My sister recently moved and is on the hunt for a new church. Small town Tennessee is much different than the suburbs of Atlanta. She’s having to think about what to wear for the first time in years, lol. At her Atlanta church, she might wear a dress on Easter. That’s it! Otherwise, it’s blue jeans and a black shirt. Yes, people wear more casual clothes now than they used to, even in my hometown, but you still see a LOT of women in dresses. What do they do at your church? If you’re on the hunt for church dresses for women over 50, I’ve got you covered. Whether it’s for Sunday services, weddings, or any special occasion, these dresses will make you feel confident and stylish.
Linen Shift Dress
For those warmer days, this linen shift dress in camellia rose is a great option. The lightweight fabric keeps you cool, and the relaxed fit means ease of movement. It’s simple, which allows for accessorizing with your favorite jewelry or scarf.
MEROKEETY Women’s Flutter Sleeve Smocked Midi Dress
Dresses like this have been blowing up TikTok! This version is charming AND comfortable, two of my favorite things. Eyelet is officially IN. It’s available in a ton of shades, so it should be easy to find one that suits your personal style. I’d wear this to a summer wedding in a heartbeat!
V-Neck Midi Dress
I would love to see my sister in something this bright! This V-neck midi dress from Talbots is a classic choice that screams sunny sophistication. The cornsilk color is soft and flattering, perfect for spring and summer services. Its midi length offers modesty without sacrificing style, and the cinched waist adds a touch of femininity. Pair it with a light jacket or cardigan for those cooler mornings.
Dancing Eyelet Puff Sleeve Dress
The eyelet detailing on this dress is simply divine! (Get it? Divine!) The lakeside blue and white combination brings a fresh vibe, and the puff sleeves add a playful touch. It’s made from breathable fabrics, so you can stay comfortable throughout the service. Love the 3/4 sleeves!
Sleeveless Maxi Gauze Dress
Chico’s always has great options, and I think this sleeveless maxi dress would be perfect for summer services. The gauze fabric is light and airy, and the maxi length offers plenty of coverage. Its relaxed fit makes it comfortable for longer wear, and it’s easy to dress up with a statement necklace. Throw on your favorite cardiagn if you want more coverage!
Fit and Flare Cinched Waist Dress
Fit and flare dresses are a flattering option for lots of body types. The cinched waist shows off your figure, while the short sleeves give just the right amount of coverage. Its classic design means it would work for various church events, from regular services to special occasions.
Ocean Print Surplice Neckline Dress
Make waves with this dress, lol. I don’t know why I’m finding puns funny today. Anyway, I’m loving this ocean print dress. The pattern is eye-catching, and the elbow-length sleeves offer modest coverage. It’s a great choice for those looking to add a splash of color to their church attire.
Casual Maxi Dress From Amazon
For those who prefer a lot of coverage, this maxi dress is a lovely pick. You could dress it up with a nice necklace, or a fancy scarf, and some heeled sandals. Or keep it as is and wear it with cute flats or even sneakers! I love the pockets – always a YES. And again, there are LOTS of colors to choose from.
Women’s Summer Loose Boho Maxi Dress
This casual maxi dress is perfect for a relaxed and very feminine look. BOHO is in, and this is a great example of why. I love the loose and flowy vibe. It’s available in over 30 colors, including solids. It looks long, but one reviewer who is 5 feet 160 pounds says that it was perfect with wedges, so take that as you will.
Remember, Gurls, the right church dresses for women over 50 are ones that make you feel confident and comfortable. Whether you prefer classic silhouettes or modern prints, there’s something out there for everyone. Don’t be afraid to express your personal style and let your inner beauty shine through.
Stay blessed and stylish!

I am looking for some new dresses. These are perfect!
Lovely lovely these dresses. Nice sense of style. Rhymes with my taste of fashion
Such feminine dressy❤️🙂
🙂 I like the dresses, although the navy dress seems too dressy, like wedding dressy. There’s always a skirt/cardi combo to try too.
🙂 I do wear a dress most Sundays. I prefer longer styles and ones I can top with a lightweight blazer or other jacket or a sweater as needed. You gave lots of options. Thank you!!
🙂 Dancing Eyelet Puff Sleeve Dress!
🙂 We have a variety of styles at church. I still prefer dresses, or at least dress pants. I feel like making God’s house super casual lessens the reverence. But that’s just how my mind works. Not everyone feels that way.
🙂 Summer dresses that flow in the breeze are always winners for me!
😊Love the ocean wave dress.
Love all the dresses, especially the dancing eyelet pff sleeve dress.☺️
😊 Cute dresses – the linen one is my favorite
🙂 I do not wear dresses very often. Some ladies wear dresses at my church . Depends on the time of year. Not too often in our cold Michigan winters.
Found it
Linen sift dress is something I think I need 😀
🙂 I noticed everyone being more casual at church. It just depends on the people. Also, it seems older people dress up more. I like the eyelet dress, the cinched dress and the wave pattern dress.
😊. What a great array of dresses! Love the boho dress!!
humbled,grateful,style,it’s about time for us gurls
Found it. I love all these dresses
😊 Nice dresses for church. I attend a small country church, less than 150 people. Most people dress casually but some dress up. I enjoy wearing dresses but also wear pants some too.
🙂. It’s either dresses or dress pants at my church.
🙂 found it
The pink, yellow, and wavy blue dresses are really pretty and pink is your color for sure.
I can’t get used to maxi dresses. I’ve tried to wear them but even at 5’7″ and 120 lbs I feel swamped in all the material. Funny I didn’t feel that way when in my 20’s. teehee
Found it! Love the blue eyelet dress! At my church many dress casually (meaning not traditional Sunday dress but still nicely dressed). I tend to wear more dresses in the spring and summers.
🙂Love the color of the fit and flare dress.
🙂 I love wearing a dress – one and done!
🙂 We wear dresses, pants, and jeans at church.
😊Love the Ocean Print dress from Chico’s. I typically wear either a dress, skirt or dress pants to church.
🙂 A lot of options!

I love dresses for church. These ones were gorgeous! I found the smiley face! First time in forever.
Found it 🙂 The dresses are really cute!
😀 The pink linen shift dress looks wonderful. A perfect summer dress.
😃! Yes we all wear dresses at our church. We feel that it is God’s house and we should honor and respect God by wearing our very best
Our church knows not all people can afford to dress up but we want all people to know God loves them no matter what they have on. The important thing is go to church and worship God. God Bless You!✝️💕
😊 love the short white and blue dress.
Love the dresses! :}
🙂 I see more dresses around than before and longer length. Dresses are comfortable
Women wear what they’re comfortable in at my church. On Mother’s Day there were more dresses, but most women don’t dress up like they once did. Often jeans are the choice with many. I’ve wore jeans, skirts, dresses, dress leggings with tunic sweaters (in the winter).
🙂 The blue smocked midi is my favorite. So feminine!
🙂 very pretty choices
love your stand for Jesus,
nice dresses..God Bless..
🙂 Beautiful dresses. I prefer dresses for Church. But also wear dress slacks too.
☺️ love the light blue eyelet.
Love the blue dress on you. The yellow dress is so pretty too. Thank you for the church dress ideas. Many women in our church wear dresses on Sunday too but not all. Found it.
😀. Love the yellow midi dress!
😊Found it. I love the dress that is long. I will have to order. I don’t think Jesus cares what you wear to church. It is out of respect. Years ago that was the only time people got to dress up besides a funeral. Have a blessed day
🙂
I have continued to wear dresses to church because I love dresses and skirts. We have quite a number of ladies that wear jeans and other casual items which is fine.
Most of my dresses come from Talbots with a few from Ann Taylor because they offer a lot of petite options! Thank you for the timely advice and the verse of scripture is a favorite on mine.
That cheesecake sounds delicious 😋.

Love dresses and need to wear them more
Great ideas
Love this post! Yes, dress styles for many churches have become very casual. I’m in southwestern Virginia and you will see jeans, tennis shoes, shorts and pretty dresses and men in suits! I love dresses and also wear dress slacks. Good luck to your sister in finding a church. That in itself can take a while!
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We’re pretty traditional, it’s a dress every Sunday.
Love the light blue eyelet dress!!! Happy birthday btw!
😊 Pretty dresses. I love the Dancing Eyelet blue and white!
😊 Cute dresses! I wear dresses in the summer. At my church there is a mix of casual and dresses.
🙂 Our church has an older congregation. At 67 I’m one of the younger ones, it’s a shame really. Most women were elevated casual. Only a few wear dressier jeans. I used to wear a lot of dresses, but my legs are so sun spotted up with some spider veins and scars from my derm Dr freezing off spots, that I no longer wear dresses. 🙁 I don’t use sunless tanner because it emphasizes the marks even more and I’ve done leg make up on occasion but it’s either a lot of work to get the right shade or takes a lot of scrubbing to get off. LOL I know pantyhose are out now, but I sort of miss them because they did help hide some flaws. I see some older women doing bare legs with legs worse than mine but in all honesty I don’t think it’s a good look. But that’s just me and we all should wear what makes us comfortable and confident!
🙂
I’ve recently discovered dresses again and am loving them for summer, especially after finding great slip shorts.
Nice choices.
🙂 I love wearing dresses These are super cute. I wear dresses just about any wear i go of course i wear a thin pair of shorts under the shorter dress in case the wind catches it. Thanks for sharing these cute dresses
Our church has become much more casual in recent years. More denim than ever, especially the younger crowd. 🙂
Dresses tend to be more on the casual side.
I’m on the lookout for a pretty lightweight dress for summer.
😀 I’m a dress girl. I can’t even think of the last time I wore pants to church. I also wear dresses to work about half the time. my favorite dress today is the 2nd one. so easy to wear.
We wear jeans and t shirts at our church and have heard the comment that people expect to see horses tied out front. Lately the ladies have decided to dress things up a bit so I have already gotten one dress and these are great inspiration for more. Thanks.
Found it 😊
Love the fit and flare cinched dress.

😊 Always so cute! I love the blue dress -always a favorite color and it looks great on you!
🙂 Love the butter yellow dress! Our church is mostly casual (in northern Wisconsin). Jeans or dress pants with a nice top are the norm for the ladies. Dresses are worn for holidays and special occasions.
