You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses Kindle Edition
Explore fifty years of bridesmaid fashion in this stunning retrospective featuring real-life wedding photographs.
Being a bridesmaid is one of the greatest honors a dear friend can bestow. But wearing the dress the bride picks out? That’s the true test of friendship. You Can Wear It Again pays loving tribute to fifty years of bridesmaids’ dresses, as featured in real-life weddings. The product of both fashion trends and the bride's whims, bridesmaids’ dresses may take the form of medieval costume, complete with wimple; slip dresses with real feathered wings to transform maids into true angels; or the ruffled peach taffeta with puff sleeves that so dominated the 1980s. Whatever the look, you can be sure it’s been in and out of fashion more than once. Some lessons are never learned.
The perfect gift for current and former bridesmaids, You Can Wear It Again isn’t just a showcase of bridal fashions, but a testament to the selfless women everywhere who help the bride’s dreams come true.- LanguageEnglish

I know every bride has her special day, but some things are just off the wall. Not talking the fashion trends that change from decade to decade (though some of them can be hysterical if pushed to the extreme)--I'm talking nutty things like making your bffs dress up like dragonflies. Yeah, that's one you won't be able to wear again!
I thought my mustard dress was bad. I thought the enormous puffy sleeves on the blue dress were ridiculous. But I had no idea that wedding party attire could be as appallingly amusing as some of the examples in the book! When I received the finished book, I laughed harder with the flip of each page.
If you've suffered through a polyester or taffeta nightmare, or selected dresses for your friends you realized in retrospect were totally unsuited to their body types, you will enjoy this book.
