The Bridesmaid Dress Diaries

with a stunning shade of blue, but ultimately loved the sweet sophistication of champagne dresses. My mother initially protested, fearful that it would in someway “detract” from a bride in white/ivory, but swaying her to my side was a rather simple process. After all, it’s pretty hard to deny how chic and classy champagne satin is without even trying. Being a July wedding in Upstate NY, the weather is bound to be insanely hot and with NY summers comes a relentless humidity that is outright miserable at times. Needless to say, I never even considered a full length dress and knew immediately that my fabulous ladies would be fashioned in a knee-length frock of some kind. And with those thoughts in mind, we went shopping.



This dress was an early contender and I’m fairly certain it’s by Forever Yours. The navy and light blue colors here, as modeled by lovely Bridesmaid S, were among the shades of blue I was considering instead of the champagne and I really loved them together. Somewhere on a scrap of paper that was lost months ago, we smuggled the style number down and filed it away as a strong possibility.

Bridesmaids: Mismatched & Marvelous!

Notice that although the styles and colors (even patterns) are different, the hemlines are basically the same, giving it a cohesive look. I think that if you had long and short gowns, it might be a bit too much.

In this photo, also from Manolo, you’ve got brides wearing pretty much the same style dresses, but in mix-n-match shades of blue. I think it’s a beautiful look and also gives your bridesmaids some degree of freedom in picking a gown.



The problem that some brides have with identical dresses in the same color is that it’s boring, predictable, and stiff. If you want something different but aren’t willing to give up the matching dresses, wearing patterned bridesmaids’ dresses is a fun way to go. You can choose from plaid, polka dot, floral, stripes, and more, like these pretty bridesmaids’ dresses from Dessy:

Dress up your Apple Shaped Body in Style

A bulging belly, marked with thick waistline and an average sized bust are the typical features of an apple shaped body. Although this rounded shape, is seen as quite friendly by most people, it’s only the woman, who has such a body, knows how difficult it is to dress up this structure in style. Anyway here is some help on how an apple-shaped woman should dress up, to look fantastic.

The basics

For most apple-shaped women, dressing up means trying to hide their bodies. However, that’s not what is needed; in fact they need to learn to emphasize the right body parts and to take away attention from the problem areas. The bust line is what needs to be highlighted and the midsection of the body is what needs to be camouflaged, to enjoy balanced and leaner silhouettes.

Tops with V necks and those which puff up around the breasts will help in drawing more attention to the bust line. On the other hand to enjoy a somewhat slimming effect around your waist and hips, you need skirts and trousers with flat fronts and the fastenings should preferably be on the sides.

Casual dressing

For a pleasing casual look you must focus on accentuating the top half of your body, and that begins by wearing the right bra to highlight your breasts and create a more dramatic cleavage. Look for tops with low cut necklines which go smooth on your bust region and then flare out a little to conceal the hanging flab. As for bottom wear, you should look for tailor made jeans and trousers as against the regular branded ones, to add more definition to your legs. And finally to complete the looks add a pair of wedges.

Smart dressing

Long coats are a great way, to look slim and smart, for all the apple-shaped women, but do ensure that whatever you wear underneath is properly tailored and doesn’t add width to your outlines. And you don’t need to stick to wearing dark shades, as is the common tendency with most apple-shaped women; rather you must experiment with lighter colors as they look equally good on you.
