I actually did wear my bridesmaid dress from my sister's wedding again--twice, actually! I'm really glad my sister has decent taste.
However...I'm with you all on the sizing hassles. When our dresses came in, they were not the right size, I don't care what the tag said! My dress was absolutely huge, and so was everyone else's. A couple of the other girls didn't get their dresses in time to have a seamstress fix them, so they had to struggle to hold their tops up through the entire wedding (the dresses were strapless). Luckily, my mom is very good at sewing and she was able to fix mine but it took her f-o-r-e-v-e-r...the top had boning and an invisible side zipper, so she ended up having to take the whole thing apart and essentially remake it. I don't see why bridesmaid dresses can't run true to size...sure, some people fudge and order a smaller size than what they need, but we all ordered the correct size and they were at least one--and I'm thinking probably even two--sizes too big. They were loooooooooong, too...even longer than normal.
