So I previously posted "how much is too much" and based on your opinions this is what I came up with. It''s a dress off the rack from Nordstrom for $138. What do you think. Is it rewearable?

I think it''s rewearable and totally cute! But maybe not flattering to all body types, depending on how much of a range you have in your BP.
 
sorry for the GIANT picture!
 
What a great price for a bridesmaid's dress -- and it's very cute.

To be honest, though, I don't think this color is the most re-wearable, just thinking of what I would wear to cocktail parties. I also don't think it's the most flattering dress, as that little thing of fabric that comes out draws attention to most girls' widest point.
 
absolutely!!!

This wouldn''t look good on anyone I know. So I don''t think its *wearable* ... much less *rewearable*. But since you picked it out & like it for your group of girls .. here''s a way to judge.

Pretend you have a work cocktail party tomorrow night & currently owned that dress. Would you wear it? Would it be what you''d grab? Would you feel perfectly confident in it? IF NOT -- its not rewearable. IF SO -- maybe!
 
that''s totally rewearable.... actually where do you get that I want to order one!!
 
Yes, I think so!
 
Super cute dress. Yes, I do think it can be reworn, but what colour are you thinking ''cause I do think that''ll make a difference?
 
Yep, I think it can be reworn, but IMO I am not sure if it would flatter all body types, and the colour may not suit everyone.
 
i''m actually not a fan of this dress, if you plan on having all your bms wear the same dress, i don''t think this would be flattering for all body types, the style and material don''t seem to sit well even on the model, but again thats just my opinion, what do you bms think?
 
I think it''s really cute, I would wear that in a heartbeat!
 
I would be mortified if I had to wear this dress. Unless all of your BMs have wonderful figures, which they might, I would say no. I don''t think it''s all that flattering on the model because of the pleats actually. Just my two cents.
 
Unfortunately no I don''t think it''s realistically re-wearable for 99% of the population.
 
It''s a cute dress! However, I''m not sure it would look good if your girls are not 5''11'''' and 120 lbs (like the model). I think you''ll have to get them to try it on & see if they feel comfortable in it.
 
I don''t even think it looks good on THE MODEL. It''s falling down off her and her rack is enormous. Can''t imagine what that would mean for the rest of us?? And the pleats & pockets and tapered in tulip skirt -- gah. Its CREATING a pear shape where there is none.

How much do you wanna bet it would look even worse shot straight on .. they picked *this* angle to show it because it was its BEST angle. Head-on: more pear, more squat, more inverted lightbulb action, more attention being drawn toward the girls HIPS & THIGHS -- is that ever flattering?

Sorry! Its the time to be blunt! Before you commit ...

it looks really cute on. I went to try it on yesterday with one of my BMs. My BMs are pretty much all a size 2, there may be a 4 in there but that''s about as big as we get. They can pretty much wear anything.
 
I think it''s a cute dress, but it *definitely* screams: BRIDESMAID!
That''s not always a bad thing, though. If you''re friends like it, and *you* like it, then go for it.
 
It reminds me a bit of this in color and style, so i think it doesn''t need to be just a bridesmaid dress. I personally wouldn''t wear it because anything that short is more like a top than a dress on me, but if your girls look cute in it, I think they could re-wear it (this season, anyway!).
 
I totally love it, I''m size 2 as well and I will wear it again. I love the color by the way

Honestly, I think it''s a little silly when people ask if a bridesmaid dress is rewearable. I understand the sentiment, but I have never reworn a bridesmaid dress and I don''t know anyone who has either. Just pick a dress you love, in your bridesmaid''s budget and that they feel comfortable wearing. Chances of them actually rewearing it are slim to none.
 
I love this dress, so for me it would be rewearable. It sounds like your bridesmaids are all small so it should be quite flattering on them. I hate when I''m stuck in a bridesmaid dress that just hangs there and covers my body. Yuck- let me show off a bit of the curves!

They may not love the style enough to rewear it, but that is a problem with every bridesmaid dress. People seem to love the J.Crew bridesmaid dresses and I basically hate all of them. Very pretty but not my style. So while those dresses are lovely and most people would consider them rewearable, to me they would not be. I think you''ve found a pretty dress, at a reasonable price, that your bridesmaids have tried on and agreed they like the style- I''d go for it.
 
Totally rewearable, in my opinion. Does it have a pocket (I LOVE pockets in dresses) or is her hand just tucked into the side of the dress?
I agree with those who say it may not be flattering on all body types - but I would def wear that again!
 
I think that's a very cute dress for a petite-ish woman! It doesn't look all that good on the model because it's not really designed for a tall, busty woman.
 
Very pretty dress! The color is lovely!
