Ultimately, sometimes bridesmaids wear dresses they don’t love, and that’s okay. But bridesmaid dresses that are a little dull can be spruced up with accessories-- such as a beaded belt or bow-- can add a finishing touch. Even just proper alterations can make a big difference. A dress that is properly fitted is far more flattering. Strapless dresses can be altered with straps for more support or if you like a more modest style. The key is to make sure that the bride and bridesmaids are in communication with each other.
