(Hint: it’s not one size fits all)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment you ask your bestie to stand beside you (armed with tissues) on your big day is magical. After all being a bridesmaid is a privilege; it\u2019s an honour to wake up with the bride on her big day and share those special moments together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridesmaids are there to help tape your boobs into place, keep your phone safe for the day (always overlooked!) and make way for you down the aisle before you are greeted by your husband-to-be. But if you\u2019re anything like most people, you\u2019ve probably got a girl squad that represents all shapes and sizes, yes #bopo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you choose the right bridesmaid dress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 1: Have the Conversation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It may sound obvious, but I cannot stress how helpful it is to openly discuss with your bridesmaids what their style preference is. Depending on how well your bridesmaids know each other, you may want to do this individually instead of at a roundtable event (like at someone else\u2019s wedding! That\u2019s a bloody terrible idea.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn\u2019t help, phone a friend… That friend is me! Hiiiiiii…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Insert Hire A Bridesmaid to be the voice of reason! Trust me, diluting awkward situations while coming to an agreement is a true gift of mine. (Remind me to tell you of the time said talent got me out of detention in year 9. Or don\u2019t, you\u2019ve probably got lots of other things to think about.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously though, that\u2019s what I\u2019m here for. The beauty is, it\u2019ll remove you from the situation and could save a lot of unwarranted tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 2: The Multi-Way Dress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They’re popular for their versatility, but they don’t sit high on my “practical” list. For starters, there is zero support in them for your ta-tas (boobies, bosom, breasts). So, if you’re like me, you’d shudder at the thought of trying to walk down the aisle in one, let alone boogie the night away. But fear not my support-needing friend, I got your back…and your front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 3: Who dat? Who dat?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to think about your maid\u2019s personality. Sounds strange, right?! Well if you think about it, not all women are comfortable flaunting their assets. Some prefer to highlight their curves, while others may wish to cover them up. And hey, that\u2019s totally cool! A woman is always beautiful when she feels confident, and I know that\u2019s all you want for your BFF as she stands by your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just remember\u2026 Hell hath no fury for a maid that\u2019s been made to wear a side pony and\/or potato sack. Chat about it, talk it out, doesn\u2019t need to be weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
