Bustle's 'Bridesmaid Upgrade' Episode 4 Shows What Happens When A Bride Tries (0)

　Even if you're the best of friends, being someone's Maid of Honor at their wedding can cause some tension — particularly when it comes to the dress. The fourth episode of Bustle's Bridesmaid Upgrade, a show that helps brides and their bridesmaids find a dress they're both happy with, follows Lauren (the MoH) and Taralê (the bride-to-be), who've been friends for over 18 years. Lauren is the only person Taralê has asked to be in the bridal party, so finding the perfect look to complement her wedding dress is crucial.

　　Over nearly two decades of friendship, the pair has seen their share of style choices many of us made in the early '90s: brows that'd been plucked nearly into oblivion, halter tops paired with enormous hoop earrings, two tiny strands of hair pulled out in the front of an updo... and beyond. "Being 5'10," I'd often have clothing made," Taralê tells Bustle, talking about her style back then. "I designed a two-piece number. Halter top and tapered pants. Both made of a black patent leather. It didn't breathe very well!" Now they've settled into their own senses of personal style — so when Taralê whips out a dress she wants Lauren to wear at her wedding that doesn't particular suit Lauren's fancy, tensions start to mount.

　　In particular, Lauren is concerned that the gown — which is strapless with a long, gauzy skirt — doesn't really match up with the more modest and laid-back style she's come to adopt after having four children. "I definitely wanted a little more coverage," she says in the video. Plus, the sweetheart bodice of this dress doesn't exactly lend itself to easy breastfeeding. Lauren tells Bustle that her personal style these days is "all about comfort."Read more at:one shoulder bridesmaid dresses | pastel bridesmaid dresses
