You've been able to shop for 57Grand's cool wear-them-again bridesmaid dresses online or in New York, but now they're coming to Bella Bridesmaid stores in Baltimore, DC, Houston, Los Angeles, Madison (NJ), Orlando, Richmond and, San Francisco. 57Grand's owners Carmen Ho and Saukok Chu Tiampo draw inspiration from the city's runways, art galleries, and street life -- the dresses are even named after New York City streets. I love how this label shows ideas on how to rewear the dresses on their website; if you know wearing these dresses is a one-time deal, you can also donate to 57Grand's nonprofit partner for girls hoping to attend prom.
Their collection is available in 8 to 11 colors and retail from $150-295. The gowns will be available to purchase at these Bella Bridesmaid locations at the end of September. Happy shopping!
Have you ever reworn a bridesmaid gown?

I was actually able to "shorten and you can wear it again" with one of my bridesmaids dresses! It's a simple poly/satin A-line dress with some draped ruching (sp?) to one side and red-- easy to see it converted to a cocktail dress. I wore it to a relative's Chinese wedding so I didn't feel like I stood out too much wearing a red cocktail dress to a wedding.

The blue and green dresses look fabulous! I love those colours together.
