Words cannot express how glad I was to be disinvited to be a bridesmaid the one time I was asked (a groomsman had dropped out and therefore the numbers were uneven, so I was dropped). I was out before dresses were selected or ordered, so I did not realize my good fortune until the wedding day.

The dresses were a garish red, low cut and strapless, with poofy skirts. I don’t show that much cleavage to my husband! Every woman, in every size in the party, was yanking up that dress all night. The concession to modesty, am 8" wide scrap of red scarf, only made things worse. It required and additional hand to manage.
