One way a bride could be certain that she found an ideal frock on her maids is that if they love them a lot they can't wait to put on them again.
And why shouldn't they?
If a flatters the person, making the best of their figure, complexion - in a nutshell having that magic component that makes a girl feel beautiful - then it is a real shame to not put on an outfit again which makes you feel this way.
Nowadays bridesmaid's gowns like Dessy's are worlds from the frumpy, badly fitting wedding attendant outfits of old.
So should you loved your bridesmaid dress, here are some ideas to transform it into a wardrobe staple that you could count on to make you are feeling better each time you put it on.
If you'd a long bridesmaid dress, trim it making it right into a cocktail dress for your forthcoming formal event. If it would be a strapless dress you can include straps within the fabric that's been cut away, or use the internet to somewhere like Rouleaux and discover some fancy diamante ribbon.
If you need to change the beauty of the dress you could include a sash (in case your waist is one thing you particularly wish to show off). Try something after some sparkle or perhaps a classic satin sash. (You might need to rehearse your bow-tying technique here).
Add a brand new statement necklace. A pair of stinky shoes. Maybe a shawl or shrug.
We've said hello before but it is just so essential that the bride chooses to match her girls. Mismatched bridesmaid frocks can function well here, because they allow for different necklines, differing waist detail, different sleeve length, and different bodices. No two girls are identical, why should they dress exactly the same?
You can mismatch the bridesmaid's dresses in fashion but opt for exactly the same color. Or you could mismatch the frocks and choose graduation in color. That would be very stylish.
One thing is for certain though. If your maids want to put on their dresses again following the wedding, then they've paid you the biggest compliment going.
