The current trends of gold bridesmaid dresses are showing special favour to spaghetti straps. You must have seen column sequin gold dresses, but have you observed how a sleeve makes the difference? The thin straps are not exactly sleeves but the style is going amazingly well with the empire waists or ball gowns. Instead of going completely strapless, the spaghetti straps, on the other hand, offer proper support. It is also a great choice for bridesmaids who wish to look bold, but with a safe choice.

A sleeveless dress is always sexy and the ‘wow’ factor goes up when it is in gold. Don’t worry about wardrobe malfunctions; the fabric supports the bust.

Widely popular during the 1950s and 60s, this vintage and traditional style is making a comeback now.
