Are Australian bridesmaid dress sizes different?

Each Australian bridesmaid dress designer will have their own sizing chart to navigate your decision-making process. It's important to note that bridesmaid dress sizes, much like wedding dress sizes, run one to three sizes smaller than streetwear. This can be confronting or disheartening to some, but it's important to remember that this is standard for the bridesmaid dress industry.

Who picks the bridesmaid dresses?

Traditionally, the bride would select her chosen design for the bridesmaids to wear. Generally, there was one design, and the bridesmaids would all match. More often now, couples are choosing to let their bridesmaids and groomsmen wear an outfit of their choice. Some parameters might be in place, such as a colour palette or the request to show the dress to the bride for approval. It's really up to the happy couple!

Who should pay for the bridesmaid dresses in Australia?

Being a bridesmaid is an honour – but it can be a costly venture! If you're the bride, make sure you've communicated your expectations clearly if you expect your bridesmaids to pay for their dress, hair, makeup, and other incidental expenses. If you are expecting your bridesmaids to pay, you might want to consider allowing them to choose the silhouette and fabric of their dress from a chosen colour palette – that way, they can select something affordable in a style they will wear again.

If you're a bridesmaid searching for affordable dress options, the Easy Weddings directory has a wide range of options. Whether you opt for a ready-to-wear design or a made-to-order custom creation, you'll find your perfect Australian bridesmaid dress right here.

How long should an Australian bridesmaid dress be?

Choosing your bridesmaid dress but not sure how short or long it should be? It all depends on the tone and aesthetic of the wedding. Have a chat with the bride about her wedding dress. For example, if the bride is opting for a sweeping ballgown, then a mini-length bridesmaid dress will likely look out of place. However, many brides are opting for shorter wedding dress lengths in a throwback to 1960s fashion. It all comes down to the unique celebration you're a part of.

When should I order my Australian bridesmaid dresses?

When it comes to ordering your bridesmaid dress, be conscious of providing enough time for your initial fitting, plus the production and shipping time. Six months is ideal to ensure there are no down-to-the-wire deliveries! This timeframe will also allow you to have any required alternations completed. If you have less than six months, you may want to consider a ready-to-wear option which you can personalise with alterations and accessories.
