Summary: The perfect apology to my bridesmaids....
Review: Sorry just doesn't cut it for what I put my sister and best friends through last spring...and so to celebrate my one year anniversary I'm going to invite them all over and ask them to have their dresses in hand--then I'll supply the scissors, thread and red wine!! I can't wait to see what those dresses will become!

Summary: Not exactly practical
Review: The book was cute, but few of the ideas were actually practical. 101 Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress was not what I anticipated. The 101 uses seemed more like the first 101 things that came to the authors mind. Not exacly clever.

Summary: anyone who's ever been a bridesmaid should buy this book
Review: The illustrations are so wonderful -- I love the cute little baby dressed in the ruffles and satin of cast-off bridesmaid dress. No matter what the bride says (or how nice she is), you won't wear it again! That's where this great collection of wacky ideas comes in. I loved it!

Summary: Wedding season is almost upon us again...
Review: We all know it's easier for men, they only have to rent the tux. Simple and basic, the most they have to fear is a wild cumberbund, or the color white. But women by tradition are at the mercy of the bride and her taste for plunging necklines, ruffles, and fuschia. Unlike the returnable tux, post-wedding, women are left with a dress too sentimental to throw away; too horrific not to hide, and one familiar place to banish it. But Cindy Walker has sounded a call to bridesmaid dresses everywhere to emerge from their closets! In an age of recycling and Martha Stewart, 101 USES FOR A BRIDESMAID DRESS presents dozens of inane alternatives to entombment to counter every bride-to-be's insistent 'you'll wear it again.' This book presents bridal party fashion as the ultimate in chic, with the bridesmaid dress as: The perfect blind-date look, how to be dressed for dinner with your (soon to be ex-)lover's parents, or what to wear to insure you'll be turned down for that Grand Jury. Or as Walker offers, why not turn your bridesmaid dress into gifts like: spectacular baby clothes for the happy couple's first child, a new jogging suit for Grandma, or a custom jockstrap for the athlete in your life. From lavender taffeta to trampoline, and canary silk to surfboard cover, the nonsensical suggestions offered in this book belong in every bridesmaid's survival kit. Whether you need to humor attendants, cheer up a friend, or figure out some way to make use of those torrents of tulle, 101 USES FOR A BRIDESMAID DRESS is the perfect irreverent gift for the ladies in your life with whom you swap bridesmaid horror stories, or for whom you have picked out the most darling red, white, and blue sequined cocktail dresses for your Fourth of July Wedding.
