We are all aware of the, um, questionable dresses bridemaids are often coerced into wearing.  The colors and silhouettes are usually so unflattering that they’ll never be worn after your “friend’s” big day.  Bridemaids have been tortured in this cruel ritual for far too long.  Vera Wang’s new bridesmaids collection is putting an end to that accepted form of punishment with her Spring 2010 Maids collection.  The dresses are stylish and any bridesmaid would gladly incorporate one into her wardrobe.  Even better, the prices range from $180 to $250.  So say goodbye to bridesmaids dresses from hell, and welcome style to your rescue.
