    This is what my girls are wearing, only in navy.  I hope it's rewearable, I think it's super cute but who knows.

    J.Crew has some really cute dresses that can definitely be worn again - you might want to check out their website. :)

    Mine were from DB. I know that one of my BMs is already planning on wearing hers to her own rehearsal dinner in the spring. I would wear these to a picnic or garden party, myself.

    If you click on this photo, you can see it better & bigger.

    My girls got theirs at DB also. I did black short dresses (their choice of 3 but I think all chose strapless) and then a pink (our wedding color) sash.  A few girls have plans to wear them agian (minus the sash); work christmas parties next year, fundraiser events

    I think it's definitely possible if you pick a flattering cut, short dresses are usually more "re-wearable", but if a long dress is simple enough and certain materials, they could easily be shortened. Also, like PP mentioned, J Crew has some great dresses, as well as Ann Taylor.

    SO true...EKobs, do you know that I have been pining for that dress ever since I saw your post about it? I'm dreaming of the purple one for DH's company party in NYC...

    Coren Moore has so many cute dresses. Other than that like pp said, normal stores like J Crew and Ann Taylor are great.

    I'm having issues posting a pic, but my BM dresses are in my bio. I totally think they are "reusable" and all my BM said they are def wearing them to another wedding or special event.

    My girls got their dresses from Alfred Angelo. Since they were able to pick their own style, I'm hoping they'll all have a chance to wear their dresses again. Pictures in Married Bio.

    These two dresses are the ones I chose for my BMs and the BM dress I'm wearing for FSIL's wedding in February.  Both are from David's Bridal and very rewearable in my opinion.  The long style obviously isn't AS versatile, but it will work for a formal wedding or party.  And the short one looks amazing on - it's a great party dress and I plan on wearing it on our  honeymoon cruise.

    I think the best way to make BM dresses wearable again is to avoid trends (e.g. bubble hems) and accroutrements that make BM dresses look like traditional BM dresses (e.g. big satin contrast sash and bow).
