Bridesmaid dress- Can i wear it as a guest to another wedding?

Tasha, on January 6, 2020 at 11:57 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

I have a purple floral bridesmaid dress that I am wondering if I can wear again to another wedding. It is a completely different group of people for this upcoming wedding. I am thinking I could either hem the dress to be straight knee length, hem it to a high low style, or I will at least hem it so its more of a maxi dress rather than a floor length bridesmaid dress. This picture I have is what the dress looks like now. I haven't decided exactly how I want it hemmed. Any suggestions on hem?

Or is the dress just to bridesmaidy to wear at all to another wedding?

Update: the dress code is beach formal. The ceremony is on the beach but reception is inside.

    I think it would be fine for a formal wedding. If the wedding is more on the casual side it may be a bit dressy.

    Formal normally means long so I would leave it how it is. It is a very pretty dress and you can definitely wear it to the wedding.

    It's the unicorn of bridesmaid dresses: one that actually CAN be worn again! Smiley smile I'd wear it as-is as long as it isn't too long to wear comfortably (it looks like it's dragging on the ground?). Hem it to wear with sandals or bare feet for the beach.

    I think it's super cute for a formal wedding! High low hem would be fun with that fabric.

    I think it’ looked great! I really like the floral pattern. I think you can dress it up or down if needed but you should definitely wear it!

    Beautiful dress, not too bridesmaid-y at all! Perfect for your beach formal wedding.

    I would definitely re-wear that dress! The floral print already helps it feel a little less "bridesmaids-y" to me, and the dress seems perfect for "beach formal"!

    I bought it on brideside but not sure if they sell this print still. However, Dessy.com still sells this print. The print is called “Lavender Garden” 😊

    Beautiful! I'd definitely wear it again. Looks like a gorgeous maxi dress. I would leave it long for formal and for the flow of the dress as you walk but hem it just so it isnt dragging.

    It does not look like a bridesmaid dress. Looks like a maxi dress. You may want to hem it...or not. Wear sandals. Wear the dress! BTW I wore a short bridesmaid dress that did not look like a bridesmaid dress (brides idea was for us to wear it againSmiley shame ) to a co-workers wedding. I felt beautiful!

    Often times bridesmaids dresses are closed so that they CAN be worn again. It looks lovely and I think you would be fine wearing it. A hem might be a good choice if it would make you feel better about it!
