If you have the time and money, then why not. What are friends for? Since it was last minute, and you know that you had plans or your money is looking funny, then girl, tell her the truth. DO NOT PROLONG THIS!!!!!!!!!!! Give her time to find someone else or make other arrangements.

Do you fit in the other girl's dress? If not, I would imagine that it is too late to order one for you. Other than that, I see no barriers except for maybe some hurt feelings that you were asked second. If you do have a twinge of that going on, I would say that brides sometimes pick bridesmaids who are closer to home so dress fittings and so forth are less of a pain. Just do what you want to, assuming that you guys can get a dress and shoes together in time.

If this person is someone you consider to be a friend, do it for her. While you might be feeling a little hurt that you weren't among the first to be picked, remember than just about every bride has a limit to the number of attendants that she can reasonably have and afford. The fact that she asked you, despite the fact that she knows she didn't ask you initially, says to me that she trusts you, and is confident enough of your friendship to know that you will understand, and will help her in a tough situation.

Go help your friend out and by your avatar pic you will make a beautiful bridesmaid and i guess that's one of the reasons she choose you and as a good friend.

Say no she probably picked you because she didn't have any more desperate friends to be her bridesmaid in such short notice if she didn't ask you when she first started planning then don't do it...

Either accept graciously and feel honored that you are asked to be a special part of her day; or decline graciously possibly due to time/travel constraints or financial burden.

Can you wear the other dress without major alterations?
Is she paying for you to get there?
How close are the two of you?
Answer the above and follow your heart.

Say no because now you are about to be stressed out about it. Let her know that you're coming, but you can't be a last minute feel in.

It all depends on your relationshiop with your friend...If you can do it....and it won't hurt your wallet....Do it.....You will be helping a friend and who knows one day, she might help you out in certain things......On top of all you will have lots of fun....and meet hopefully new people....you have less to lose than her...Therefore do it....Life is beautiful....
