A good friend of mine is getting married October 7th. It's just a small wedding but she still wants the traditional wedding with bridemaids and a dress. She's having 3 bridesmaids, with me being the Maid of Honor. She was going to put us all in the same dress, but one girl (who I don't know) hates everything the bride wants to put us in. So the bride how now told us to wear what we want. I really don't know what to wear now. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to spend a lot because I'm afraid the wedding could be called off because she's already divorced this guy once and now they're getting remarried. Also it needs to be black.

oooh Alison, that is a tricky situation

I cannot believe one girl has complained, it is NOT her wedding, and she should not really have a say in what she is wearing, it is the brides special day after all.

I think you should maybe go for a strapless, cocktail style dress, as that way, you can wear it again for many things, and in black, it is much harder to tell that you have not spent a fortune on it

This type of shape springs to mind, and its gorgeous :)

Saw this in this month's issue of Real Simple and was wowed by it! You can wear it as a skirt, a strapless dress, or a halter dress, so you needn't be stuck with something you'll never wear again.
