Tonight I went to see 27 Dresses with a friend. I am not going to use this post to comment on the number of times I have also worn a bridesmaid dress.As a semi-professional bridesmaid I will admit that I chuckled a time or two as a I recognized certain traits and situations from my own numerous wedding adventures.
A note to brides - seriously, if I hear a bride-to-be tell me one more time, "If you shorten the dress it is totally wearable again" I think I might have to have the dress altered for you to wear again.
Truth be told, I am probably one of the few people who has been able to wear any bridesmaid dress again. A benefit of my career? Or the a side-effect of the career as I need to have cost-effective formal dresses on a regular occassion...hmmm
Anyway, my biggest chuckle from the flick came as the bride made her friends (all 27 of them) stand up in her wedding as bridesmaids wearing the dresseses the brides had made her wear in the past. There are times when I have had that very thought...oh the chuckles the vision gives me. Now I know that the idea was not really an original thought, but still one that makes me smile. So, before you choose the gown you want me to wear in your wedding, think about that future probability. (Don't worry - not all of my bridesmaid dresses have been atrocious - only a small handful rise to that level! ;-) )

It's good to know that you have worn my dress so many times now, that it might be worn out! I hope it at least made it to the top of the recycled list, since you were the only one to re-wear it! Is the movie worth seeing?
Erin,
You are right; I have worn your bridesmaid ensemble many times. In fact, this season I had to part ways with the skirt as it had developed a substantial hole in the hem. Kudos to you for picking a truly wearable garment.
As for the movie, it was fun to see but I think it is a rent worthy and not movie theater ticket worthy.
