1.  Focus on the Fabric

When it comes to buying summery mismatched bridesmaid dresses, the first thing that you’ll need to focus on is the fabric. While purchasing dresses for your girl-gang, make sure you do not opt for dresses made of heavy material, or the ones that will literally cling to the skin such as nylon, polyester, flannel, etc. Instead, you must pick fabrics that are breathable such as chiffon or tulle.

2.  Pick Dresses that are Flary and Flowy

Yes, there’s no doubt that body-hugging or bodycon dresses are currently in fashion. But, summer is not really the right season to wear tight clothing. Hence, it’ll be better if you ditch the bodycon dresses and instead, purchase the flary and flowy long bridesmaid dresses.

3.  Chop the Sleeves!

Dramatic sleeves like bishop, bell, and Kimono sleeves are here to rule the fashion industry for at least the next 2 years - that’s what popular fashion designers are claiming. But donning a dress having either of these above-mentioned sleeves is a big “NO-NO”. Why? Well, it’s because no matter how dramatic and beautiful they look, they are still going to cover up your bridesmaids’ arms and make them feel sweaty and uncomfortable. Therefore, do not opt for these sleeves and instead, choose dresses that are either sleeveless or has spaghetti sleeves.
