Bridesmaid Dress Fashion

Bridesmaids dresses have a bad reputation for being hideous monstroseties of ruffles and pleates.
Fortunately the bridal industry no longer carries dresses like those; in fact, bridesmaids gowns are lovely numbers that can be worn in other formal occassions. The number one thing you should consider when choosing your bridesmaids dresses is their comfort. Just because it’s your wedding, doesn’t mean you can make your entourage wear something they don’t like!Ask your bridesmaids for their input; take one or two of them when you go shopping for the dresses and listen to their opinions. Chances are, your bridesmaids are girlfriends you’ve had for a very long time. You can count on them to be completely honest wit you.Pick out a style that will suit their body types.

I recommend A-line dresses, as they look flattering on everyone. If your bridesmaids are on the heavy side, avoid tight-fitting dresses. Avoid bodices if your bridesmaids are flat-chested. If you’re still confused about what dress style to get, ask your couturier or the saleslady at the bridal shop for advice.
Choose a color that will suit your wedding’s color scheme and match your wedding gown. Make sure the design of your bridesmaids gown is as simple as possible so they can wear them at other formal events.

You might also want to consider just ditching the bridesmaid dress idea and have them wear any dress they want. That way you’ll spend less on your wedding and you won’t have to worry that your bridesmaids will itch and squirm in a bridesmaids dress that doesn’t fit them well.
