There are many styles suitable for bridesmaids dresses. For example, you may choose an empire style, a princess style, simple straight dress or possibly a two piece dress which could be separated and the bodice used with perhaps with a pair of trousers or another skirt. Shorter style dresses are becoming increasingly popular which could be used time and time again by the bridesmaids as a smart evening wear or cocktail dress.

The material chosen for your bridesmaids dress is also of importance. A light weight fabric such as chiffon or light weight satin or taffeta would be ideal for a summer wedding whereas a heavy satin or velvet more suitable for a winter wedding, or even dresses with a cape or stole.
