Sew, You Won't Believe This Was a Bridesmaid Dress
The aforementioned Queen of Crafts has some pretty stellar ideas for giving your dress a little plastic surgery. Our favorite ones? For the classic sheath dress, we love the idea of sewing on someruffled trim in a bib shape and adding a few buttons in a vertical line below the collarbone. The casual and playful details will combat the stuffy vibe of any typical bridesmaid frock.
For you intermediate sewers, there's an adorable fringe dress inside your ugly strapless number just waiting to come out. You may think we're a little crazy, but just hear us out. You knowstring curtains ? Kind of like the sort you see in a brothel? Purchase one in the same color as your strapless dress, and simply sew it around the top of the bodice and trim the fringe to the right length. Presto! It's just like those fringe dresses we saw all over the runways. Well, almost.
Bridesmaid in Disguise
If you don't have a crafty bone in your body, there are other ways to conceal the bridesmaids uniform without such drastic measures. You see it's all about the art of camouflage. First think of the vibe of a bridesmaid dress: sweet and modest. Now counter-balance that saccharine vibe with modern and slightly edgy accessories. The sort of things you wouldn't see at a wedding. Structured blazer belted over the dress, check! Edgy booties, check check! You get the idea.
