Tips for Choosing Right Bridesmaid Dresses

It's not easy to find bridesmaid dress which can cater everyone's taste. It is up to the bride to choose the style and colors that she wants for her wedding. It should be something that will go compliment the wedding gown but also look attractive on the maids. Extra thought should be given to the coloring, shape of the maids plus budget. Below are some tips for you, follow these and learn how to find the right dress.

Coordinate your fabrics. It’s going to look odd if you’re wearing a soft, flowy chiffon gown, while your bridesmaids wear structured taffeta shifts. Choose a fabric for the cheap bridesmaid dresses that complements your own.

Choose a length. Again, not all of your dresses need to match, but they should be the same length. You definitely don’t want one of your ‘maids "hemming up” the agreed upon tea-length skirt to show off her standout legs.

Alter as needed. Even though bridesmaids shouldn’t go rogue with alterations, the girls in your group should get their dresses tailored to their bodies. It may cost a few extra dollars, but the alternative is having a poorly-fitted dress that no one will want to wear or see ever again.

Select a style that flatters. Choose silhouettes that work well with your bridesmaids’ body types. Fabric and straps fit well on petite women, while a flowy empire waist allows for extra tummy coverage. For bridesmaids looking to add some shape, a fit-and-flare silhouette with a corset back adds curves.

Listen to your bridesmaids. At the end of the day, having an unhappy bridesmaid helps no one. If a friend is giving you flack about her dress, try to work with her as much as possible. Is the fit bothering her? Does the dress cost too much? Trouble shooting the problem before the big day will make everyone happier.
