Synopsis: Explore fifty years of bridesmaid fashion in this stunning retrospective featuring real-life wedding photographs. Being a bridesmaid is one of the greatest honors a dear friend can bestow. But wearing the dress the bride picks out? That&’s the true test of friendship. You Can Wear It Again pays loving tribute to fifty years of bridesmaids&’ dresses, as featured in real-life weddings. The product of both fashion trends and the bride's whims, bridesmaids&’ dresses may take the form of medieval costume, complete with wimple; slip dresses with real feathered wings to transform maids into true angels; or the ruffled peach taffeta with puff sleeves that so dominated the 1980s. Whatever the look, you can be sure it&’s been in and out of fashion more than once. Some lessons are never learned. The perfect gift for current and former bridesmaids, You Can Wear It Again isn&’t just a showcase of bridal fashions, but a testament to the selfless women everywhere who help the bride&’s dreams come true.
