Bridesmaid dresses that can actually be reworn!

We all know the old “just hem it short and now it’s a new dress” option never works, so show your bridesmaids you really love them by selecting a cute dress they can actually wear again. 

If you loathe taffeta, now there’s a plethora of choices in fun and modern silhouettes, fabrics and colors. Here are some places with a fresh take on the traditional bridesmaid dress:

Quail Bridal- With options for custom length, color and size at an affordable price, this store is a fun and fanciful take on bridalwear from Los Angeles designer Michelle Williams. 

Thread – Give each girl what she wants by mixing and matching from among Thread’s large collection of silhouettes and colors.  The dresses are cute enough to wear to a cocktail party after the big day, so you’ll definitely be pleasing your girls with these lovely frocks.

J.Crew- An oldie, but goodie; J.Crew serves up both classic and modern dresses all in an appealing color palette.  Reasonable prices, an expansive sale section, and a good return policy make this a surefire bet.  Don’t forget to check coupon sites like retailemenot.com for even bigger discounts!

Simple Silhouettes- Say goodbye to poofy, frumpy dresses!  This store is based in New York, but you can find loads of elegant and pretty dresses on the website too.  Using clean shapes, flattering necklines, vibrant colors and unique details, these dresses are completely re-wearable.

Anthropologie- While not the first store you think of when shopping for wedding apparel, Anthropologie stocks a great selection of beautiful and unique dresses, many of which can work as bridesmaid dresses.  Can’t you just picture this dress on the ladies at a vintage-themed wedding?
