Trying to find a bridesmaid dress? Tricky.
Trying to find one that will suit me and match what the other bridesmaid is wearing? Trickier.
Trying to find one that will suit me, match the other bridesmaid, and match the bright red dress the bride is wearing? VERY VERY HARD.
I am theoretically in favour of the philosophy that bridesmaids should wear different dresses, rather than condemning them all to radioactive green with frills - but in practice, it's a pain.

Date: 2010-09-21 03:51 am (UTC)OMG, I FEEL YOU. I am going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding where the groom is from a super conservative, very religious rural Southern family and I am like...this dark loudmouth Italian northerner, it is going to be so awkward no matter what. And we all have to pick different dresses! She wants us to go with black, which at least is tasteful and can be worn again, but still. All the bridesmaid dress pressure, plus it has to go from a conservative evangelical church to the reception. THINGS THAT END BADLY.

Stylewise, I told them, again, anything they want, but requested it be modest. No short skirts, and no cleavage, and I retain the right to stick an undershirt under the dress, or a pair of pants under the dress, or a scarf or shawl over it.
