When is a dress not really a dress? When it is two separates that form the look of one dress. Two piece styles are often more flattering than a one piece dress, and they are one of the most popular ideas for bridesmaid dresses.
Brides today are more considerate of their bridesmaids than they used to be. Most brides understand that their friends want to look attractive at the wedding, and are trying to find solutions that will make each girl feel pretty in her dress. It is less about having each bridesmaid look like a clone of the others, and more about letting the individual beauty of each attendant shine through.
It is a rare dress that looks equally flattering on four or five different women. Each woman has her own favorite body parts, as well as those that she prefers to hide. In addition, many women are a different size on top than on the bottom, which makes it very hard to find a dress that fits well. The usual solution for bridesmaids with this predicament has been to order up a size and then spend a fortune having the dress altered – not an ideal answer.
These are the reasons why having bridesmaids wear two piece dresses has become so popular. Rather than trying to make the bridesmaid fit the dress, brides are allowing their bridesmaids to pick the styles that fit them. After all, if your attendants are going to be spending hundreds of dollars on an outfit, they should at least feel good wearing it!
Don’t worry that separates will make your bridesmaids look choppy. Most companies will offer numerous cuts for tops and skirts in the same fabric and color. All you have to do is choose the fabric and color that you want, and then let each bridesmaid pick out her specific pieces within that framework. To further unify them, you can set other guidelines, such as floor length skirt and sleeveless top.
Even within those parameters, each bridesmaid will have many fantastic figure flattering options for her separates. For instance, if your sister has a small chest but a large tush, she might like a spaghetti strap top paired with an A-line skirt. Another bridesmaid might like a more slender column skirt worn with a halter top. A third girl could go with a full A-line skirt with a strapless top, and so on down the line. As you can see, there will be a combination sure to please every bridesmaid.
To tie the look of your entire bridal party together, aim for some consistency in their accessories. You might specify open or close toed shoes (although it would be best to let each girl pick the particular pair that feels best on her feet). Another great idea is to give them matching bridesmaid jewelry sets. You can order sets of bridesmaid jewelry that are created from the same color of crystal or pearl to give to your attendants as gifts.
When you give your bridesmaids some input in their outfits for the wedding, they are definitely going to be happier. Choosing two piece bridesmaid dresses is a great way to have a unified looking bridal party while still allowing each attendant some freedom of choice. Bridesmaids that feel pretty in their dresses will add a note of joy to your wedding day.
