Bridesmaid Dress Hall of Shame

I posted a while back about a bridesmaid dress that fits all sizes, comes in flattering colors, and that you could tailor to your own personal style. Sort of the “anti-bridesmaid dress” bridesmaid dress, if you will.
But because no one can get enough of looking at those mythical, terrifically terrible bridesmaid dresses (myself included), we found a link that might give you a fix. Yes, these faces were blurred out for a reason: friends don’t let friends wear ugly dresses, and when they do…well, making their fashion pain even more public is just criminal. What I can’t get over is how many of them are shiny. You’d think the goal would be to choose bridesmaid dresses that don’t upstage the bride, so making the bridesmaids shimmer and shine just seems…wrong.
We know you have better taste than this. After all, you’re using Here Comes The Guide to plan your wedding! If you’ve picked out some more tasteful dresses for your bridesmaids, help your fellow HCTG bride out! Post the link (after you’ve secured all your dresses, of course). We want to get a better idea of what’s really hot in bridesmaid fashion.

I offer one good use for these wild-looking dresses:
Throw a Formal-Dressed pool party!
I love the pool party idea! Sort of a trash-the-dress party…but for bridesmaids.

Did you catch this article in the L.A. Times suggesting that you cut up your old bridesmaid dresses and turn them into fabulous home decor items (pillows, etc.)? http://www.latimes.com/features/home/la-hm-dress10jan10,1,7825306.story?ctrack=2&cset=true
I know it sounds like a joke, but I actually love this idea!
Like, hey bridesmaids can do the green wedding thing, too. Gotta do something with those dresses and they’re probably not going to compost well…
