Black has become a standard choice for a bridal party, particularly for evening and winter weddings, because it solves the hardest problem in dressing several people at once: it flatters every skin tone without adjustment. These are our black bridesmaid styles — fluid satin and softly draped fabrics, ruched bodices that hold their line through a long day, long-sleeve options for cooler months, and embellished detail where the party wants something less plain. Necklines vary enough that each bridesmaid can pick what she is comfortable in while the group still reads as one. Order the whole party at the same time: black varies more between dye lots than people expect, and the difference shows in photographs.
