It was a long, red spaghetti strap satin dress with a swooped neck at the cleavage area. It was too pretty to wear just once. I haven't been able to fit it in recent years so it's just taking up space in the closet yet wish I could fit it again! The 4 other bridesmaid dresses just screams the "bridesmaid look" so they have been worn only once. I wish I was good at sewing so I could alter the look of some of those dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1883184 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:12:40 +0000 looch 1883184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my, never. But when I think bridesmaid, I think pastel Alfred Angelo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882612 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 11:04:58 +0000 Rockies11 1882612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but my bridesmaid dresses were people just picking their own black dress of any length, so people used dresses the already had or bought dresses they wanted. So they have reworn those dresses, and wore them prior to as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882561 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 10:39:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 1882561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I've always had the best intentions to, but I love dress shopping too much and the dresses I pick for myself are always more appealing to wear. I finally donated all of them before we moved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882499 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 10:12:32 +0000 babynumber1 1882499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been in 7 weddings and have never been able to rewear a dress. I hope the one I was in last Saturday ends my run as bridesmaid. This last one was a doozy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882326 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 08:54:51 +0000 Crystal 1882326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> <p>One year my poor sister had to be in three weddings. All three brides picked the same chiffon dress in different colors. She had to buy the same awful dress 3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882151 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 07:05:32 +0000 honeybear 1882151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but my bridesmaid definitely did. Her sole instructions from me were to look good, and she did! I never really understood the practice of telling grown women what to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882149 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 07:00:04 +0000 MrsTiz 1882149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will wear the one from my sisters wedding! I haven't been anywhere yet where I needed a nice-ish dress yet (it was only a few months ago) but I love the dress and it's a soft material that def. doesn't say "Bridesmaid!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882147 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:57:40 +0000 Reese 1882147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, I think brides just say that to alleviate their guilt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882141 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:45:44 +0000 Anagram 1882141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. Every single bridesmaid dress I have ever had has screamed "Bridesmaid!" because they've all been that shiny, thick polyester satin material.</p> <p>But I'm going to be a bridesmaid in March and we get to pick our own knee-length navy dresses, yippee! So I will pick one I can wear again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882102 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 00:22:26 +0000 MaisyMay 1882102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been a bridesmaid. :(</p> <p>Funny story though. One of my BM's got her dress from a thrift store (actually I got it from there for her for about $20). My other bridesmaid wore her dress when on a cruise with her boyfriend. When I picked out the dresses, I told them tea-length, teal, alfred angelo satin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882097 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 23:40:00 +0000 SerenaSF 1882097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda - out of the 7 BM dresses I have, I have wore one more than once. For a costume party. It wasn't a bad dress at all, but it was the closest I had to a man men style dress. </p> <p>My other dresses have been fairly cute for the most part, but the thing is, even my cutest bridesmaid dress isn't as cute as a cocktail dress I picked out on my own. </p> <p>As far as I know, none of my bridesmaids have reworn their dresses from my wedding either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882062 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:46:06 +0000 shopaholic 1882062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: That's resourceful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882050 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:18:13 +0000 MrsRcCar 1882050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Only because my dress needs altered. I know all my girls were able to wear theirs again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882049 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:17:28 +0000 simplyfelicity 1882049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882047 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:10:54 +0000 Ra 1882047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1882010 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:21:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1882010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881998 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:00:12 +0000 heffalump 1881998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the dress my sister wore at my wedding to her wedding. And for my Halloween costume :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881928 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 18:35:36 +0000 meganmp 1881928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have, a few times, but they were never my dresses. Well, not really. I wore my sister's bridesmaid's dress from another wedding, I wore my SIL's bridesmaid's dress from my wedding (it was just a black dress) and my friend wore one of my black dresses in my wedding, and I wore it before she did and after as well, so I think that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881918 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 18:19:21 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1881918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In theory i could wear a couple of them again, but i never have. I dont have a whole lot of opportunities to get *that* dressed up, and when i have it feels weird to. They arent dresses i would have picked for myself, so i tend to pick somethong more my own style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881909 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 18:08:00 +0000 mrsjyw 1881909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I rented one and donated the other, definitely too formal/BM/Satin/Boning/Long/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881814 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:05:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1881814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m beyond thrilled that all of my bridesmaids wore theirs again. Also, my SIL has gotten some use out of one that she was in. It was from JCrew so I think that helps. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881735 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:15:36 +0000 Emsmems 1881735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have a black one that's above the knee (so basically a LBD). That's the only one though, I have many others I haven't worn again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881717 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:07:56 +0000 Arden 1881717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been a bridesmaid! All my friends either eloped, had no bridal parties, or aren't married yet. Eventually I guess I'll be in my sisters wedding, and my younger SIL said she wants me in her wedding but she doesn't even have a SO yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again/page/2#post-1881712 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:05:32 +0000 KT326 1881712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I wore mine to my company's annual black tie event that was a few months later. I added a cute rhinestone belt to dress it up a bit more. Then I spilled red wine all down the front of me... oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again#post-1881704 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:00:32 +0000 teamjse 1881704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, still hanging in my closet, I should really donate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again#post-1881701 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 14:59:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1881701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! one fancy strapless navy dress that i wore to other weddings and then a causual dress and skirt that we got to pick on our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again#post-1881657 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 14:42:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1881657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sheskrafty: that's a funny story...princess back to BM...it's all in the accessories :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again#post-1881585 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:59:14 +0000 Espion 1881585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Mauve + redhead? MY EYES. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-worn-a-bm-dress-again#post-1881583 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:58:44 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1881583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! Even being in weddings were dresses were mismatched and we got to pick our own I still haven't reworn it. I think once you wear it in a wedding it will always be a "BM dress" and feel super strange wearing again. </p>
