I've already been a bridesmaid one too many times in my life. Can you sense the lack of enthusiasm in my voice, er words? If my friends had let me wear this Calypso Satin Convertible Wrap Dress ($270), my outlook on bridesmaid fashion would be very different.

I've done a lot of wedding coverage for brides, but I was thinking how many of us are bridesmaids so many more times than we are brides - and how we all end up with many of those dreaded bridesmaid dresses.
So what to do? I've put together a couple of ideas for ways to recycle all those bridesmaid dresses collecting in your closet, and please - if you have any more ideas, do share!

So often, the moment your best friend asks you to be in her wedding party, you're so thrilled that you forget that it's going to cost you! There's the bachelorette party, the bridal shower, the wedding gifts, but most importantly, there's your dress! No matter if your friend, the bride, is going to wear a short dress, one with new necklines, funky fabrics or dramatic hemlines, there's no way of getting out of purchasing a bridesmaid dress that you will maybe never again wear.

Just because you have the word bridesmaid attached to your name for the next couple months doesn't mean you have to dress tacky at your friend's wedding. We all know bridesmaid dresses have a tainted reputation but it's clearly warranted. I mean, who wants to walk around in ill-colored taffeta all night?

This Spring, in the comedy I Love You, Man, we witnessed one of the happiest, liveliest colors a bridesmaid can wear. The maids in the movie wore Nanette Lepore's "Still Free" shift dresses, FYI. Appropriate for a garden, beach, or even indoor wedding (if the reception or party is outdoors), your bridesmaids will thank you.

Funny. I just finished an extensive search helping my best friend find her — my — bridesmaid dresses. She put me in charge because, well, you know why.

Your bridesmaids have done so much for you, so here's your chance to thank them for all their support. Chances are your girls come in all shapes and sizes, so accessories are the most fitting gifts — think jewelry rolls, fancy earrings they can wear at the wedding, or girlie undies.
While you're not required to get everybody the same item, keep the price points close so you don't end up upsetting friends before your big day.
