  If you are really set on doing this then I would just stick with tank tops (if warm enough) or zip-up hoodies.  This way they are easy to take off without messing up their hair.
  
  I would just watch how much you spend on this because your friends will most likely never wear these outfits again.

  [QUOTE]Ok Girls.. I need some opinions...  I am a very corrdinated type of person and I want to get my maids cute matching outfits that they can wear while getting ready in the morning. We are all staying at the hotel the night before and all going to brunch in the morning so I would really like to find some ideas as to what I should get my maids to wear? expecially for pictures... If anyone has any really unique ideas please shoot them my way.. Thank you Lyndee

  </div>Please reconsider this idea. It is one thing to have girls be all in the same dress for your ceremony but when you get to forcing them all to wear the same morning getting ready outfit (even if it is simple) you are going into obsessive micromanaging terrority. Please don't do this just because you think it would look "cool" for your pictures, it isn't worth the money, nor the comfort level of your BMs. <div>

  Oy they may like to dress up. Some girls do. And they think it is fun to match (my cousin's friends are like this).
  
  I would say a tracksuit- black zip up- they will still wear those and you can get a tangtop in one of your colors with rhinestones that say BM... That is just an idea.
  
  If they like to do this thing go for it. If they don't just let it slide

  I could see how this would be fun but maybe get them something that they might wear again.  Target has a bunch of sleeveless dresses for around $20 that you could get in different colors for the girls.  That way, they would still be able to get the dress off without messing up the hair but they might use them again.

  I agree you should only do this if they are into it.  Personally, I would not relish the idea of waking up in the morning and changing into my "matching getting ready clothes" so that I could get together with other girls and change into our matching bridesmaids dresses. 

  
  

  I would vote for some kind of tank/pajama bottoms or sweats/yoga pants if you do it...definitely go with something that they could wear again that doesn't have the word bridesmaid or anything in rhinestones on it.
