The same question applies for the dresses. Say its your BF that's getting married and she picks out a dress for you that is less than flattering to your figure. Do you go with her decision and wear the dress that's less than flattering for you or do you try to change her mind by looking at other dress options?

Wellllllllll.

Dress first. Attendants wear what the bridezi...er Bride picks. If it is hideous or unflattering the attendant has one of three options....try and change the bride's mind, suck it up and wear it out of "love/friendship" for the bride (and laugh her @ss off about it years down the road) or don't be an attendant.

Hair...now that is another story. I have waist length STRAIGHT boring hair. It does not curl, and I don't do short. (yes yes...boring boring boring). Don't touch my hair. Asking a friend to "do" something unnatural to them with their hair is just over the edge, IMHO.

So dress negotiable...hair NOT.
