Bored of the multi-way gown? Suffering from full-length lace fatigue?
Being a bridesmaid used to mean stuffing yourself into a vaguely unflattering gúna of your best friend's choosing, but the new wave of modern brides are finally looking beyond the frock.
The latest trend in bridesmaid fashion? The formal jumpsuit.
Ideal for brides determined to break with tradition in favour of something fresh, dressing your bridesmaids in jumpsuits makes an understated style statement, while keeping things uniform.
Choose the right shape for each 'maid and your jumpsuits can be as flattering as they are comfortable.
Here are four ways to try the trend:
1. These Two Birds jumpsuits are available in five colours. Like their multi-way dresses, the top of the jumpsuit can be wrapped 15 different ways to suit different styles and shapes.
2. A simple black jumpsuit can make a big impact. Three different styles of black jumpsuit would add interest while keeping to the theme.

3. Flower children will love these flowing floral jumpsuits from ASOS - a snip at just €64 each.
4. Feel like embracing the trend yourself? Go full Solange and try on a bridal jumpsuit in white, cream or ivory. These look oddly good with a veil too.
