Re: Do people really wear BM dresses again?

I think it depends on the dress.

I've had one dress shortened and since it was a two piece, I wore the top with a black skirt once. Then I wore the whole outfit as a short dress.

There was another dress that was the same color but because it was a very shiney, thick satin material, I didn't feel I looked good in it and never wore it again.

I had a nice sage raw silk BM dress that again, I shortened and removed the big white bow that I had to wear with it.

I never thought that my girls would wear my dress, but one just told me she shortened it and wore it to a wedding.

On a side note, I went to a wedding once and I wore my "work" clothes to the church. When i got there, the girls were wearing the dress I was going to wear!!! Luckily, I brought a back-up dress to NJ that night...otherwise, I would have looked like a bridesmaid!

You can donate them to http://www.glassslipperproject.org/ This organization gives them to under privileged girls to wear to their proms, its a really sweet gesture.

Re: Do people really wear BM dresses again?

I don't think I would ever wear any of my BM dresses again. One would make for a good halloween costume if I was dressing up as a debutante or a princess...but that's about it. Otherwise, they all scream BRIDESMAID!

I have. I wore a black A line strapless dress to my sisters. I had it hemmed to t-length and wore it to 2 other weddings.

I doubt the girls could wear the ones from my wedding again...they were beautiful but lets face it-it was a bridesmaid gown...

The one I wore for my MOHs wedding was really pretty-but once again, I could not wear it again....so they all sit in my closet...I dont know what to do with them

oh wow - that is a really great idea - better than sitting at the bottom of my closet

my sister wore her dress from my wedding to a wedding


Same with mine...she cut it down to a tea length - it looked awesome on her!

ETA it was a fairly simple black dress...



what she saidChat Icon Colleen's BM cresses were gorgeous and I definetly knew I was wearing it again. I still will in the future. It wasn't a BM type dress in my opinion. Now other dresses I have from weddings I would NEVER take out of the closetChat Icon

Re: Do people really wear BM dresses again?

I was in a wedding in june and I plan on having my dress shortened to make it tea length or just below the knee. This way it looks a little different. Also it has a crinoline sewed into it I will have that taken out too.

Re: Do people really wear BM dresses again?

I have a BM dress that is two piece. The top was a bordeux color and strapless. I wore it with black dress pants with heels and a blazer to a party once. Looked nice. Other than that I don't think I would wear the whole dress or any other BM dresses I have again.
