Dress shapes such as a modified A-line or shift are going to be key—think Jackie and Audrey. These cuts can be tailored to look just right on every bridesmaid and are fairly easy to find. Another universally flattering silhouette is the fit and flare. Grace Kelly always looked stunning in this style.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET YOUR BRIDESMAIDS INVOLVED

One way to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect style is to bring a few of your gal pals shopping with you. This way, you get an idea of how different dresses look on different body types. (Also means you don’t have to keep texting photos back and forth!).

CONSIDER A CUSTOM CHOICE

One of our very favorite ideas is to have custom dresses created. It ensures that each bride gets exactly what she wants, the bridesmaids look gorgeous and any potential fit issues can be addressed. Win-win!

BE OPEN TO SUGGESTION

Just like you, your bridesmaids know exactly what dress type flatters them and what does not. Be open their opinions and take what they say into consideration.
