60-year-old bridesmaid alters outfit, bride tells her not to wear "chopped up dress": 'I would not want to be seen wearing it in public'

Bridesmaid dresses are notoriously unflattering, as many women who have taken on that special role in a wedding can tell you.

Why are bridesmaid dresses so hard to get right? The bride has the best intentions: she'll choose a nice color to represent her wedding ceremony, and ask her bridesmaid besties to wear identical dresses. The reason it's so hard to get this right is that trying to get 10 people to look good in the same dress is just impossible! People have different body types and are flattered by different colors. 

Some brides choose a color, then let their bridesmaids pick flattering dresses in that exact shade. This method is a bit more forgiving. Not to mention that some dresses might look one way on a slimmer body type, but can then be quite revealing on someone who has a larger body. Some women are more comfortable showing off their body, while others prefer to stay covered up, and both women should have the chance to pick a gown they can dance the night away in with comfort. If the bridesmaids can try on different dresses and find something that they feel confident and beautiful wearing, that's a win-win for the bride and her crew.
