Shopping for other people can be a stressful thing especially if you dont know what they would be comfortable with. This is especially true when shopping for bridesmaid dresses that your friends will wear to your wedding. There are a few things that you would need to ask them before you start combing through the racks. First of all, you need to know what cut of dress they are most comfortable wearing. If you prefer that their dresses all look the same, discuss this with your girls and come to compromise regarding the design of the dresses. Secondly, you would need to ask them if they are comfortable enough to not wear a bra if you are looking to buy dresses that have built in breast cups. Lastly, if you are a little tight on the budget; you may want to consider asking them to pay for half of the cost of the dress.
