"Nod if this scenario sounds familiar: Your bestie from college falls madly in love, asks you to be her bridesmaid, &amp;quot;asks&amp;quot; you to fork over $200+ for a froufy seafoam green confection you&amp;#x27;d prefer to be seen in only at a convention for the visually impaired, then promises &amp;quot;You&amp;#x27;ll totally get another use or two out of this!&amp;quot; This week, newyorkmag.com has a round up of &amp;quot;120 Bridesmaid Dresses You&amp;#x27;ll Want To Wear Again,&amp;quot; which made me think...really!? I haven&amp;#x27;t even found one bridesmaid dress I want to wear again. I usually turn my nose up at romantic comedies (unlike Joanna, who loves &amp;#x27;em, I may be missing the sappy gene), but I must admit that I got a good little laugh out of 27 Dresses, mostly because, well, I&amp;#x27;ve got a few pastel taffeta nightmares collecting dust in my own closet. I was the maid of honor at my sister&amp;#x27;s wedding, and while the black strapless gown I wore made me feel absolutely gorgeous, it&amp;#x27;s never been out of the plastic again since. I vowed to turn it into a cocktail dress, add straps, and make it my go-to LBD, but it never happened. Ditto a floor-sweeping baby blue ruffled skirt and at least one drapey gown. Even in the cases where I didn&amp;#x27;t mind wearing a bridesmaid dress while actually, y&amp;#x27;know, being a bridesmaid, I&amp;#x27;m so picky about my fashion choices that I could never bring myself to voluntarily wear a dress that someone else had picked out for me. How about you girls? Have any of you actually ever worn a bridesmaid dress again, after the wedding? More than once? Did you have it altered, or did you wear it as is? And did any of your bridesmaids wear their dresses again after your wedding? I can&amp;#x27;t wait to hear your answers on this one dolls, so spill!
