My lovely darling friend steph has asked me to help her in the daunting task of choosing a bridesmaid dress. Her sister is getting married in a farm wedding of 200, and as such, the dress needs to be casual, comfortable, and yet dressy enough to suit a wedding that size. The other added feature? Steph and I are particularily... well. particular. about our dresses. we are hippies at heart, and like movement, awkwardness, and interest in our clothes. as such, a typical bridesmaid dress just won't do.
the weird thing about bridesmaid dresses, is that there is this unusual expectation that it's supposed to be a certain kind of dress - a stiff, matching, not-previously-worn dress. the beauty of someone asking you to simply pick your own, is that you can choose something that suits your personality, your body shape, your likes, and reflects who you are. as silly as it may seem to expect this much from a dress, anyone who has ever worn a bad bridesmaid dress, knows full well that this is as possibility. from something as simple as a dress.
the requisites for this wedding were: taupe, any length, and suitable for someone like me - who doesn't like weddings, or bridesmaid dresses.
my top picks.

BHLDN: the sandspun maxi dress; the willow dress; the oragami pleated dress; the citrine rose peplum dress.
