"An enormous number of the dresses were 'sexy' cut, tight, and short with high slits, something you'd wear on reality TV. And they were very, very poorly made, like they were purchased at Forever 21 or Shein."

The trend features tight, short designs with high slits, reminiscent of outfits seen on reality TV. Despite their low quality, these dresses are often priced similarly to higher-quality options. The experience of being a bridesmaid is often viewed with a sense of resignation regarding appearance, and it is acceptable to decline participation if the experience is unappealing.
