- Wow, I feel vindicated! My bridesmaids were costumed non-uniformly, too.
- In our case we had the same style dress in the same fabric, but in different
- colors. The maid of honor was in a light green shade, the other two
- bridesmaids were in deep pink, and the flower girls were in light pink.
- (The flower girls were sisters, only a year or two apart in age -- to prevent
- mayhem I _HAD_ to have them both. Fortunately they were adorable almost
- all of the time. :-) ) The dresses were chiffon over taffeta and in
- a very simple style that looked good on everybody.
-
- This was in 1969, however, and I sure wish I still wore that size 10 (!!)
- wedding dress. That was a brief and anomalous period in my life, however. :-)
- Since I don't wear that size now or anything close to it, this group is
- wonderfully helpful. BTW, I'd like to second the motion someone made about
- voodoo dolls for salespeople. I've got some local candidates in mind... :-)
