Yesterday I pointed out that long bridesmaid dresses often resemble curtains, which is SO not cute. But I think we all know that short bridesmaid dresses have the potential to be just as fugly. (I'm looking at you, shiny strapless, satin sausage-casing dresses.) The key to choosing a short bridesmaid dress that your friends won't secretly hate is finding a silhouette that everyone's comfortable in. Depending on your friends' shapes and comfort levels, that might mean, say, picking a dress with straps, or one that's not snug across the hips. Here are five contenders:
Bridesmaid Dress 1: Jenny Yoo
Bridesmaid Dress 2: Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids
Yes, the dress below reveals a lot, both up top and down bottom. But they assured us at the show that the dress would be WAY more conservative when it hits stores, so try to envision a less sassy version!
Bridesmaid Dress 3: Noir by Lazaro
Bridesmaid Dress 4: Watters
Bridesmaid Dress 5: Wtoo
Do you like wearing short bridesmaid dresses? Which of these dresses is your favorite?
I'd have to see the "conservative" version of No. 3 before buying it, but I love both the color and the pattern on the skirt!
