My friend is a bridesmaid in a wedding for a friend of hers, and lives out of state. So my friend and I were shopping to try to find her a bridesmaid dress, and she picks out a super short, super cleavage revealing dress. She thinks it is acceptable to let it all hang out at a wedding, whereas I think there is an amount of sophistication and conservative attire that a bridesmaid should uphold. I don't think she can't look good, but everything hanging out is trashy, espcially for a wedding, when the attention should be on the bride (and groom) not the slutty bridesmaid. Who is right?

I might ask the bride what she thinks is appropriate. It's her wedding, maybe she doesn't care.

If it were me being a bridesmaid, I would definitely avoid anything too risque...you really shouldn't pull attention away from the bride.
That said, I think the bride is supposed to specify which dress the bridesmaid should wear. It shouldn't be left up to the bridesmaids to choose their own...whenever possible, they should be shopping together, and when not possible, the bride should specify what store to shop at, and what dress, in particular, the bridesmaids should order.

This is a wedding party, not a stint at the local nightclub. I can't believe they even make bridesmaids dresses like that! They are supposed to compliment the bride, not detract everyone's attention to the little hoochy mama! Did the bride specify anything? If it were me I would say "hell no!" I totally agree with you!

Too much cleavage is certainly unacceptable. I got married last September and my sister was my Maid of Honor. Right before the bridal party got announced at the reception (entrance) i realized that my sister had changed into a black dress and her cleavage was sooo out there.... she was wearing a push up bra and i was so discusted. I was furious, but I had to be calm about it, of course. To me... it seemed as if was a big distraction and a BIG form of disrespect to my husband and I. I get sadenned when i see my pictures.
I would recommend to have a talk with your friend and make sure that she undestands that weddings are supposed to be classy and elegant... to much cleavage is neither... that looks trashy at a wedding... especially if it's a member of the bridal party!
Good luck!!

Regardless of whatever dress she picks, she needs to run it by the bride ot make sure SHE approves. Cleavage, etc is inappropriate for that type of affair. Then again, maybe the bride is slutty too, so for her it might work???

There is only ONE rule when being a bridesmaid...you MUST look "less alluring" than the bride! Ask your friend how she would feel if it were her "big day", and she heard guests chatting about how great one of her bridesmaid's looked! Clearly she is not a real friend.

i don't think any cleavage should be shown. it's kind of disrespectful. They have nice dresses that don't cut down low. Everyone should be paying attention to the Bride during the wedding, not her friends.

Most weddings are in church or atleast religious in origion so in my opinon cleveage would be very tacky. Its YOUR wedding YOU are supposed to pick the dresses, pick something a little more tasteful and if she doesn't like it , to bad, no one likes bridesmaids dresses anyway

Anything that calls attention from the real queen of the day, the bride, is rather rude. Discretion and simplicity are always best.
