These days, most brides in the UK are flanked by bridesmaids wearing dresses from ASOS. The site currently has over 600 styles accounting for all body shapes and tastes at a fairly reasonable price, making it a popular bridal destination. Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping, and nothing is quite as stressful as trying to find one dress that will keep several of your friends happy. It would take hours to scroll through the hundreds of dresses available on ASOS, so I tried on a selection of the best.
Disclaimer: I have never been a bridesmaid, so I have yet not experienced the pain that can come from a bridesmaid dress WhatsApp group chat. ASOS has a lot of the traditional chiffon gowns in sugary pinks, greens and lilacs that you'll see in many a wedding group photo on Facebook, but there are also some more unusual options if you want to try something a little different.
The Pinny Maxi Dress With Ruched Bodice is arguably the hero bridesmaid dress at ASOS right now, and at £75, I was impressed by the fit and how expensive the fabric looked. Plus, these dresses photograph really well, which we all know is a top priority from a wedding outfit. After testing the classic option, I also went for some dresses outside the pastel, floaty norm. Keep scrolling to see the fashion dress, the statement dress, the crowd-please and more that I loved.
