The bride of a wedding I am in has told the bridesmaids that she does not want any "rolls" to show at her wedding. Therefore we are all to wear (and purchase) girdles, corsets or any other suck-me-in underwear that is necessary.
This hurts A) our feelings and B) our bank accounts.
This is going to be an expensive wedding for everyone and it seems to me that underwear is an unnecessary expense for her to ask of us, and should be left up the the individual bridesmaids
The wedding is not for a while now but when this issue comes up again I'm debating on whether or not to tell her that we have a problem with this or (personally) wear what I want to wear. It's not like she is going to be looking up my dress.
I'm wondering if I am out of line. Should I just suck-it-up, so to speak?

My primary suggestion would be to have proper alterations done on the dresses to minimize the appearance of rolls, secondly, the proper undergarments will make you more comfortable in the dress as well. I think you should follow your heart and if you are guilty of rolls, check into the pricing and if it is prohibitive for you, discuss with the bride or suck it up as you've said.
Part of being a bridesmaid is serving the bride. In the past you can look at the many bridesmaids who wore such horrible dresses just to please the bride. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
i find it unfair for the bride to expect her bridesmaids to pay for specific underwear. If it's that important to her, she should purchase it herself for her bridesmaids to wear.
