In any case, I thought I'd post some relatively simple, yet elegant dresses for the Bridal Party (i.e. my favorite party). I realize that these dresses themselves might be out of our respective price ranges, but they are a good "jumping off point" so to speak. Most of these dresses come in about a dozen colors, although we're probably going for color first, then whichever silhouette flatters the bridesmaid best.
First is the silk pleated galette dress ($365 at JCrew Wedding). a little 20s, a little 40s, in a subtle and innocuous color.
detail shot. beautiful!
Up next is a classic LBD with a little flair, but could work for many themes, flattering for myriad shapes & sizes ($180 at BR Monogram Collection).
Next up is probably the best as far as color availability, range of fit, price, and the "being able to wear it again" factor. it's a silk chiffon strapless with slight pleating detail ($180 at JCrew Wedding).
And last, but not least, I couldn't resist this Art Deco-style Flower Girl dress ($88 at JCrew Wedding). Would that I could shrink myself down to this size, Amber, I would wear this & scatter petals down the isle!
