"I understand why brides let their lady friends do the &amp;quot;mismatched&amp;quot; thing. It&amp;#x27;s hard to find a universally flattering dress when bridesmaids come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Still, I think it&amp;#x27;s nice when mismatched &amp;#x27;maids have something in common, otherwise your bridesmaids can look like a band of merry wedding guests who just happened to follow you down the aisle. Here are three ways to do &amp;quot;mismatched&amp;quot; that won&amp;#x27;t look &amp;quot;totally random.&amp;quot; SAME STYLE + DIFFERENT COLORS Lela Rose Style LR159 in Pretty in Pink, Rose, and Tutti Frutti, $290 from Weddington Way. SAME DESIGNER + SAME FABRIC + SAME COLOR + DIFFERENT STYLES After Six Style 6620, $224; Style 6660, $210; Style 6664, $220 all in Shamrock from Weddington Way. SAME DESIGNER + SAME COLOR FAMILY + DIFFERENT FABRICS + SIMILAR STYLES J. Crew Elyse Dress in Dusty Shale Silk Taffeta, $250; Matilda Dress in Mercury Gray Liquid Jersey, $250; Heidi Dress in Dusty Shale Silk Chiffon, $250. I know some kind brides just try to give a color and let their bridesmaids pick everything else, but this never looks quite right, to me. Here are five assorted dress that are all called &amp;quot;navy&amp;quot; by the designer, for example. J. Crew Origami Bow Dress in Stretch Wool, $228. Alfred Angelo Style 7243S, $170. Wtoo Style 499 in Navy, $204. Nine West Dresses One-Shoulder Cotton Eyelet Dress in Navy from Amazon, $104.25. Dolce Vita Valentia Lace Dress in Navy from Shopbop, $275. They just don&amp;#x27;t go, right? Do you prefer matchy-matchy or mismatched &amp;#x27;maids? Which of the looks above is your favorite? Are you particularly keen on any of the dresses?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
