As a bridesmaid who wore a dress with pockets last year, I have to say I loved it! It was so great to have a place to put lipstick and tissues.

The only thing to be careful of with short dresses is when getting them altered make sure everyone has the length done the same way. Some seamstresses won't think to alter the length of short dresses. I went to a wedding and the bridesmaids just looked ridiculous together since some had it to their knees almost and some were mid-thigh.
