Bridesmaid Dresses You Can Actually Wear Again

STRAPLESS

Here's a problem almost as old as marriage itself: I get tons of complaints from readers that wedding party dresses are never attractive enough to be worn again. Friends shouldn't make friends buy a dress that will get only one use! Thankfully, the lovely blush tones that recently appeared in many designer clothing lines have trickled into bridal fashion. They flatter all skin and hair colors yet are still neutral enough to take the place of a little black dress at some future event.

Cynthia Rowley's first-ever bridesmaid collection uses many of her signature cuts, as in this flouncy cocktail dress.
