Knee-length dresses are the best pick when you don’t want to go wrong. We all know that black and white should be avoided; however, when together in graphic or flower patterns, they can transform the look into something contemporary and super trendy. Gold accessories go very well with each of the shades, so the metallic detail keeps working in this look. A dash of colour can add extra pizzazz when shopping for fascinators and footwear. There are two kinds of brides, the ones that dream of bridesmaids wearing exactly the same dresses and those who prefer that they wear different designs and colours. If you are in the first category, picking an outfit that goes well with most body shapes is something that will be appreciated by your best friends, sisters and cousins. This number from BHS is a good choice; the belt at the waistline helps to create a good silhouette and the pleatted skirt, besides being loose rather than tight to the body, is also a trendy element. The extra draped detail in the top helps to hide any extra curve in the tummy area. The dress is full of good tricks and romance inspired. HERE COMES THE BRIDESMAID THE STYLISH FRIEND 1.
