The Modest Bridesmaid: Spring 2015

It's almost upon us. Wedding Season. You know it's coming; I know it's coming; we can deny it all we want, but we bridesmaids have to face the imminent horror that is upon us come April. Let's face it-- we all suffer from wedding season, and there are very few things about weddings that are actually fun (after your 40th wedding party), but being asked to be a part of the bridal party is truly something akin to being sawed in half in a 1920's side act magic show. I only speak from experience, people. 

Sure, you're happy for your bride-friend, but life is most certainly not friendly to the bridesmaid; between the planning of the shower, the bachelorette party, paying for a gown, hair, makeup, gifts, more gifts, and even more gifts, being a part of a wedding is simply not fun after your first time. And as if doing all that weren't enough, you also have to find a gown that is modest. Not. So. Easy. 

So to help you cope and take just one thing off your list, I have compiled a new list of modest bridesmaid dresses that are practically ready-to-wear. Mothers-of-the-bride/groom, feel free to peruse this list as well.

Off-the-rack, IMHO, is always the way to go. If you have a bride who is handing you material to have a dress made, I can only express my sympathies. That is a royal pain-in-the-ass. However, if you were given latitude to choose and need a dress, maybe the options below can help you out. Keep in mind that most of the dresses below come only in the color shown, so take that as it is. Also note that some of these may need additional building up (minor in the scheme of things), especially in the backs of some of these dresses. I tried to offer a variety of options, as well as a variety of sleeve lengths to cater to the various modest needs of my readers. Lastly, note that these are only some of the dresses I saw, so feel free to dig further online if none of these cater to your needs. Enjoy and congratulations!
