Summary: Universally humorous!
Review: The perfect bridesmaid's gift, assuming the bride has a good sense of humor and/or fashion. What woman can't relate?

Summary: It's a joke....lighten up!
Review: This book is written as a funny joke. The dress is awful and I thought it was funny when she wore it in different situations. Some of the people who didn't like it sound like they were uptight brides who were worried their bridesmaid didn't like the dress they picked out. If one of my bridesmaids wore her dress to get her driver's license picture taken, I'd laugh (...) off.

There isn't much (if any) real advice for what to do with a bridesmaid dress, so if you are looking for such a book, you might not like it.

Summary: My kind of recycling!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was absolutely wonderful!!!! Having been in a few weddings myself - fully equipped with HUGE butt bows - I really appreciated the humor. Also, I would be honored to see the bridesmaid dresses that I chose for my wedding to be used for any one of the ideas!! This really is the best kind of recycling I can think of. I applaud Ms. Whitlinger and her creativity. I look forward to a sequel!!!!! In the meantime, I'm going to see what I can do with my lovely bridesmaid dresses.

Summary: Not what I was expecting
Review: This gift was the most popular that I gave my bridesmaids. From the start of my wedding planning, I knew that they would never wear the dresses again. So, I picked the most affordable dress that I liked and admitted right up front that I knew that they would never wear it again. (Coming from someone with about 5 bridesmaids dresses hidden in my parent's home.) At the rehearsal dinner, I gave the girls this book along with jewelry to wear at the wedding. They loved the book! The girls kept laughing and pointing out some of the unusual places that the author wore the dress. It certainly helped everyone put a smile on their face and relax before the wedding. :)

Summary: Original, outre, and on the edge!
Review: What a hoot! From the sublime to the ridiculous, Rebecca has captured it all in this amusing little book chronicling the many lives of a bridemaid's dress! No one is immune from the author's gentle barbs (including herself), as she and her dress venture into new territory. I especially loved the "tips." Just gave it to a bride-to-be as part of her shower gift; she said it was wonderful! Helps you look at life through a slightly skewed, but brand new prism.
