I'm going to be a groomsmaid (best lady?) in a wedding in April!
The bridesmaids can pick whatever style in a specific color (it's a dark purple), but I get to wear any dress I want...in black. So excited!
I picked out two dresses from J. Crew (silk taffeta, not the cotton taffeta that's pictured above). Because I wasn't sure what size I wear in J.Crew bridal, if I needed alterations, and because my friends who have worn J.Crew bridesmaid dresses mentioned that I should allow for some loosening during the day, I went to the J.Crew bridal boutique for a fitting. Fortunately, the 6 fit off the rack--so no alterations needed!
