You're in the bridal party! There are limos to ride in, a bachelorette party to attend, and hopefully good looking groomsmen to meet. You've gone dress shopping and realize that your bride has a half decent sense of fashion. She's picked a dress that looks gorgeous on you! Such a relief, no poofy, peachy pink nightmare for you. But this dress looks so good on you it's a problem. Are you allowed to wear your bridesmaid dress again? Can you just cut it and wear it to the next wedding you attend, or is this a major fashion faux pas?
You looked so fierce in that bridesmaid dress that Pippa Middleton would be jealous. But Pippa never wore her bridesmaid dress again, at least out in public. Can you? Is your dress floor length and your next event is a cocktail affair? Need to get that dress tailored? No problem, as long as you rock some statement stilettos with it! You'll be on top of the world and the best dressed list at the wedding.
You're all excited to get some extra mileage on that dress and thankful that your bride had good fashion sense, so you'll remember where you bought the dress. After all, you'll be getting married soon right? At least that's what your mother thinks. You'll need to shop for bridesmaid dresses soon with all of your girls. You can't let them down with a frumpy dress they can't wear again. You want to be that fashionista bride who picked the best dresses for her bridal party.
If the dress is fabulous enough to be worth wearing again, work it! Just make sure your inner fashionista agrees with your decision. Avoid weddings where guests will recognize the dress as a repeat, you do not want to get into that embarrassing situation! You have to wear it like it's never been worn before. After all, didn't you just pick it up at Saks? When you say "oh this old thing," no one should believe it.
A word of advice to all the brides out there, don't put your bridesmaids into hideous dresses. You know it only reflects poorly on you. Don't be the bride with horrible taste. You don't want to have that wedding where the only thing guests remember are the unsightly gowns! No one wants to end up on the fashion police!
