Rather than choosing an identical look for all bridesmaids, more and more brides are allowing their bridesmaid’s individuality to shine through for their wedding day look. If you’re ready to let go of the reigns all together, you can let each bridesmaids choose their own dress.
On the other hand, if you’re a bit of a control freak and allowing them to choose their own dress feels like you’re relinquishing a bit too much control, a convertible dress allows for the best of both worlds. Each bridesmaid can choose exactly how they’d like to style the dress, but the fabric, color, and the base of the dress stays consistent from girl to girl, giving your bridal party a cohesive look.
We’ve included something for everyone on this list. There are long tulle gowns for more formal affairs, soft and comfortable jersey maxi dresses (great for a beach or destination wedding), and short and sweet multiway dresses for a more casual affair. Check them out below.

3. VonVonni Women’s Transformer Wrap Infinity Bridesmaids Dress
While most wrap dresses are designed with a longer skirt, this option has a hemline that falls just above the knee. The fabric is high quality, thick, soft, and stretchy so the one size really does fit all shapes and sizes. Since the straps on the dress are so long, they can be transformed into so many different silhouettes. While some styles should be worn without a bra, there are quite a few options that allow for a normal bra to be worn, a nice bonus if some of your bridesmaids need additional support. Keep the look tailored and simple with a basic nude sandal. Bridesmaids can shop for a comfortable and inexpensive style here.

The high quality stretchy fabric on these gowns sets them apart from the rest. We’re a huge fan of the crisscross back designs, with full frontal coverage that’s wedding appropriate, but still fun and festive.

10. Finejo Convertible Wrap Maxi Dress
This beautiful dress bridges the gap between a short cocktail dress and a long gown, with a tea length design that is unique and special. The rayon spandex fabric blend allows for just enough stretch, and the same great multi way wear as all the dresses on this list. The dress can be either hand washed or washed on a low temperature setting to avoid trips to the dry cleaner. While the color selection isn’t immense, the navy blue and black are two of the most popular bridesmaid dress colors and would work wonderfully for almost any wedding.
