This Versatile Dress Can Be Dressed Up Or Down With Accessories

Every woman who has had the honor of being asked to be a bridesmaid also feels a wave of doom float over her as she anticipates being forced to spend hundreds of dollars on some frilly, brightly colored nightmare of a dress that ends up being given to Goodwill to save closet space. Thankfully, the days of nearly neon fabric and extensive ruffles have subsided in the past few years. The trend for bridesmaids' gowns now leans toward classier, more refined styles that have the potential to be worn again as affordable evening dresses once the wedding is over. Some brides even opt to have their attendants wear shorter dresses, which also increases the odds that these gowns will be able to be worn again after the wedding.

Brides who want their bridesmaids wearing long gowns have some great options to choose from that are formal and beautiful, but also practical. One such option is the Long Jersey Dress with Charmeuse Straps and Waist. This versatile dress can be dressed up or down with accessories, so it is suitable for both formal and more casual affairs. With its sleeveless arms, this long jersey dress has gorgeous charmeuse accents on the straps and waist and is available in 20 colors. The material is comfortable and wrinkle resistant, making it perfect for weddings where travel is involved. The sleeveless long jersey dress is also bra-friendly, thereby eliminating the often painstaking search for undergarments that goes hand in hand with formal dresses.

For a bit more of an ethereal, goddess-type look for bridesmaids, the One-Shoulder Chiffon Dress with Floral Detail creates a soft, romantic look with its flowing chiffon skirt. This slimming and modern one-shouldered design features an asymmetrical neckline and ruching for a streamlined silhouette. At the shoulder is an elegant flower detail for added charm. The One-Shoulder Chiffon Dress with Floral Detail is available in 20 different colors and is made of imported polyester. This dress must be dry cleaned only.

Brides who want their attendants in a simple, yet unique long gown will love the Long Strapless Dress with Cascade Front Ruffle. This long and flowing creation is perfect for more formal spring and summer weddings. The strapless bodice has subtle side ruching for a figure flattering cut and a cascading front ruffle that extends down to the skirt. Made of charmeuse and crinkle chiffon, this combination of fabrics adds contrast and dimension. The Long Strapless Dress with Cascade Ruffle is fully lined with a back zipper. It is made of imported polyester and must be dry cleaned. This dress is available in 42 different colors.
Yet another long gown that is perfect for formal weddings is the Strapless Slim Charmeuse Gown with Ruched Waist. This gorgeous floor-length charmeuse gown has a subtly pleated strapless bodice and a ruched waist for a flattering silhouette.

Brides who are planning a less formal wedding or who just want their bridesmaids wearing a more versatile shorter dress have a ton of great classically beautiful styles to choose from in lengths ranging from knee to tea. On the shorter end of the spectrum, the Short Organza Striped Halter Dress is a fun, flirty number that is just perfect for spring. With a simple sweetheart neckline halter bodice and diagonally striped organza fabric, this exquisite style can be worn to the wedding and beyond. The Short Organza Striped Halter Dress is made of an imported cotton blend and is fully lined with a back zipper. This dress is available in black, turquoise, watermelon (pink) and wisteria (lavender).

Another great, versatile bridesmaid dress that can be dressed up or down is the Sleeveless Jersey Dress with Charmeuse Waist Band.

Reminiscent of a 1960s era gown, this retro-hip dress has clean lines and a classic silhouette with its strapless neckline and full skirt. For a bit of shimmer, a rhinestone belt sits at the natural waist. The Satin Strapless Rhinestone Belted Tea-Length Dress is available in a choice of 42 different colors.
