A bridesmaid dress has a harder job than most: it has to suit several different people at once, photograph well from every angle, and still feel like something you'd choose yourself. These are the styles we'd put forward — fluid satin and softly draped fabrics in midi and maxi lengths, cut to flatter without clinging. The palette stays calm and coordinated, so a party can be dressed in one shade or in tonal variations of it. Necklines range from cowl to one-shoulder to simple straps, which makes it easier to let each person pick what they're comfortable in while the overall look stays cohesive. Order early where you can; dye lots vary between production runs.
