I’d really like my bridesmaids to wear something about knee length and more fitted (and they do too). Ideally I’d like them to be able to wear the dress again, I know…every bride says that. What do you think of these…too much? Or do you have any other suggestions of classy fitted dresses for my girls?

I think 3&4 are great. Esp 4! The 2nd one is a little too ‘nightclub’ to me – with the pointed cups.

If you want to go tight and (relatively) short you should try to stay away from shiny fabrics. The combo can read as “cheap”

The last one is ok-ish. The others are definitely too risque, In My Humble Opinion. Also, that material doesn’t look very nice.

i like the grayish ones and the purple ones. if i had a bangin body, sure id wear it, but i dont so i would def not be caught in one of these. if all your bridemaids like it and look good in it then go for it… another option would be victorias secret convertible rusched dresses 🙂

I like 3 & 4.
I would also second the VS Convertible Ruched Dresses! They’re great!

I find them to be too tight for a bridesmaid gown. Maybe, it’s just me, though. I think the length is great, but way too tight. Is there something else that isn’t as tight?

I think 2 is a bit much. It looks really short as well on the back view. I too like 3 and 4

I like the last one okay but I like the VS dress better…I agree that the shiny fabric is what makes re-wearing extremely difficult, especially if it’s also fitted.
In general, I think if you dictate a dress, it’s going to automatically be a hard dress to re-wear since it’s so rare for multiple girls to look and feel fab in the same thing. You just have to prioritize!

Here is the dress I’d really like for them. My sister tried it on and she would be the ‘biggest’ girl in my party and she’s not even ‘big’ just more ‘curvy’ and it looked FABULOUS on her! But it doesn’t come in many colors 🙁 I think finding a dress for them is more stressful than finding my dress was. Any more suggestions are greatly appreciated. I really wanted a bright berry/sangria color (pinkish-purple).

The last dress you posted (the Bill Levkoff) would be perfect! The others are too risque for Bridesmaid or Best Man dresses.

I think they could be worn depending on the venue/theme. Obviously they would look weird at “vintage garden party wedding”. lol. Also-maybe just in black or another neutral color.
