three times a bridesmaid

The 1980s were such a good inspiration for all things ugly in bridesmaids dresses. I’m glad I was only 9-years-old when the decade ended so I wasn’t subjected to one of these…

I can’t decide if her pose is sarcastic, or if she actually feels comfortable and confident in that dress. Yuck. It looks like she grew a scaly tail. All of these pictures I’m finding are making me feel guilty for complaining about the bridesmaids dresses Bride No. 1 picked for us. I still haven’t found any photos of those to share, but we were all a different pastel. I was lavender. The worst part about them, is no matter how many fittings we went to, they didn’t fit any of us decently. And, her mother insisted the bouquets had to match so we ended up with a multi-colored pastel nightmare for bouquets.

I can’t remember where I found this. I’m thinking it was flickr creative commons find like most of my dresses. But, if you know what site it’s from, let me know so I can give you credit.

Anyone have an ugly dress they’d like to share to purge from their memories? Send a photo to threetimesabridesmaid@gmail.com. I’ll blur your face so you can deny it’s you to your bride if she stumbles upon it.
