bridesmaid dress

Wedding party garment

A bridesmaid dress is a formal garment worn by women attending a bride at her wedding.

Traditionally chosen by the bride to coordinate with the wedding's color scheme, bridesmaid dresses are often identical or complementary across the bridal party.

The style has a reputation for being unflattering or unwearable after the event: I have three bridesmaid dresses I'll never wear again.
