In the olden times, bridesmaid dresses served a purpose, steeped in superstitions as that purpose might be. The bridesmaids all dressed alike to thwart both jealous evil spirits and jealous ex-lovers with mean spirits – with dresses so alike, all of them would have a hard time distinguishing and flinging curses and crap unto the bride.
Today, you can choose not to dress like your bridesmaids. Indeed, you are advised to make yourself beautifully stand out from your bridesmaids because you, after all, are the star of show. But that does not mean that you can inflict the dowdiest, tackiest, most horrible, most God-awful bridesmaid dresses on them to achieve stardom!
