I had a nice little Saturday a couple of weeks ago, 3 out of 4 BM's & I headed out to try on bridesmaid dresses. I had 4 stores lined up, but we only needed two! I thought for sure that with 4 opinions and 3 different body types that it was going to be a loong day. Turns out, it was quite effortless and painless!
I also thought that I wouldn't have any sort of emotional response to their dresses like I had with my own. But when my friend tried on the one-shoulder Melissa Sweet dress, and I saw her excited smile, it made jump up and down in my seat and love it. I even tried it on for fun, lol.

And here they are on my BMs! They loved the pockets. It will be coming in Fig, which is a dark purple. I think the dresses really accomplish the "I can wear it again" factor. No frilly bows, no crazy colors, and no taffeta! They don't scream "BRIDESMAID" which I love and it keeps with the quiet elegance that I am going for on my day. Now I am on the hunt for shoes...my BMs talked me out of flats and I guess I don't want to be the short one in pics if they are all wearing heels, so I guess heels it is! Plus, I love shoe pics. just shoes in general. lol!

Very elegant choice!
I love it! Very simple and chic...you can't get any sexier than a one shoulder bm dress...that they can wear again!
I like your idea. Actually, there's no rules to follow. Black is fine. Black bridesmaid dresses would look gorgeous and provide great color contrast against the bride's own white or ivory gown.
A black dress can still look incredibly classy. A bride should pick black if she wants to have a dress that can be flattering on all the bridesmaids. Black is not the typical dress, but a BM can wear it again.
sexy lingerie
This dress is meant to be. All your girls look wonderful in it.
