In 2006 I was a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding. She picked out a tea-length, maroon dress for all seven bridesmaids to wear. We all had to purchase our own, and unfortunately they were not cheap. Five years later, my dress is still hanging in my old room at my parents house. Just like a bride, bridesmaids often have to purchase a dress they will never wear again… this can be a bummer for those in a lot of weddings. Luckily, women are realizing this and are creating new ways to save money for the bride and bridesmaids, women like Corie Hardee.
Find the Ann dress on Little Borrowed Dress for just $75.
Corie Hardee is the founder of Little Borrowed Dress, a site dedicated to renting out bridesmaids dresses. Hardee had the realization that if men could rent tuxes for a night, why couldn’t women rent dresses?
The Eliza dress flatters all shapes and sizes thanks to its adjustable self-tie halter top.
Corie puts it best herself, “I built this business because I think every woman deserves to have the wedding of her dreams, even if that means her closest friends are head-to-toe in periwinkle for the day. But I also think those said friends shouldn’t have to pay a pretty penny for a dress they will only wear once. Simply put, keep the style and fun, but add an air of practicality.”
Feminine and flattering without sacrificing comfort, the Joanna wrap dress is conservative but classic.
The Holly is stretch silk charmeuse v-neck dress that's subtle yet very sophisticated.
