Oh honey, I know how you feel! I've been in 4 weddings and every one of them was dreadful. The last was my best friend of 26 years. She had us wear the most hideous things....two piece. Shirt in white skirt in powder pink. A blouse type thing with a high waisted fitted skirt. All her other bridesmaids were stick skinny, no boobs...the dresses looked perfect on them. Me, I stuck out like a sore thumb and thought I was going to die in that wretched thing. Best of all, it cost me nearly $300 and I so didn't have that much to spend.
My experience with these pesky weddings is, just do what the bride wants and make her happy for one day. I know that's not fun, but I think it's best. If you don't want to spend that much money (I wouldn't either) on something you'll never wear again- who would really- then maybe you could just tell her that you don't have the money for it and if she wants you to wear it could she please help you pay for it?
