Dress Dilema
My close friend is getting married. I'm one of the bridesmaids. And she got all the bridesmaids the same dress without us even going with her to try it on. Granted, I WILL wear whatever she buys me, only there's one problem:
It's REALLY sexy and over the top. I guess I have to deal with that. BUT the store didn't have a size small, also known as a size 2. They only had size 6 of the dresses and up. So she got 5 of size 6 dresses for all of us and apparently they fit all the other bridesmaids well but me.
The dress is almost completely backless and you can almost see my butt. Given that I am a size 2 and the dress is a size 6, it hangs down my back and body not very nicely. It's about $200 I beleive. And she bought it anyways though because she thought that we could somehow have to altered to fit me, but her budget is tight and everywhere we went the tailors' estimate to fix the dress were about the same price as the dress itself because it's made out of satin and its actually very hard to fix it without making it noticeable (also because she first gave it to one of her other friends to fix it that couldn't sew at all who tried to take apart the straps, re-sew it the wrong way, and made it worse. Which somehow all the tailors were angry about thinking that we should have went to them in the first place so i guess thats why the estimate is even more).
Seriusly I don't think it's fixable. I want her to have the best day ever. But as a bridesmaid and being beside her for the whole day, I don't want the horrible looking dress to reflect that.
Would it be weird if I ask her if I can find another dress of the same colour and material, but different style to wear?
Also i haven't been to a wedding since i was 10 so I'm wondering if worse comes to it and I am wearing it, do all of the bridesmaids wear the same thing in the night time too?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Well if your parents will not let you wear the dress then you should not wear it. I think you should talk it over with the bride i am sure you can find some thing that suites your body and is not immodest ether. Just ask the bride if you can get a different dress only the same color and fabric as the other bridesmaids dresses . It should not be to hard to do.if you get the same fabric and color and as close to the other girls style dress {but more modest} it should work pretty well.
Good Luck!
