Why did they photoshop it pink?

Prom dresses in the 80s often had tiers and hoops...

ETA: Eons ago (too lazy to find the dates), bridesmaids dressed like the bride to fool men with intentions to kidnap a bride and/or steal her dowry. I also read that the bridal party of both genders wore similar clothing to the bride and groom so as to ward off bad luck directed at the couple.

Thank God for small favors:rolleyes: ech.

Someone feed and clothe that poor girl!

LOL!

Regarding white wedding gowns: My grandmother wore a white dress (complete with a white parasol) circa 1914. She was a Jewish immigrant and lived in Brooklyn. I have no idea what my mother wore because there were no pictures (my Uncle forgot to take the lens cap off) and she didn't save the dress so I could see it. (Now before you ladies start doing math as to how Ellebud's grandmother could be married in 1912 and I have a teenage daughter...my mother married very late for her generation). So, the white wedding gown was alive and well in Brooklyn at the turn of the century.

Oh, tape will keep those buppies in the strapless dress.

I saw a GORGEOUs blush white wedding gown in the window of Saks recently. Well, the color was gorgeous, perhaps the dress...a bit too much. I have this thing: I believe the dress should showcase the star of the day: the bride. If everyone talks about the dress then it was too much. But that's just me.

Jenny Packham (sad face because I have seen some JP designs that were super cute).

Awwww. :(

As for the dressings in this thread, there is really something for everyone. What I (and many of us) consider ugly could be a Godsend to someone else. Yikes, but understandable.

From Kleinfelds! To each their own, but holy mother of god.

Honey, you look like a poodle.

I don't even know what to say about this one...The edges kind of remind me of lettuce.

I think this is kinda cute! I wouldn't wear it as a wedding dress, but as a dress it's cute. I can sort of see it for a winter bride though, going with a very snowy/icy motif...

reminds me of:

There are some truly awful designs here: http://jezebel.com/5713859/kate-midd...s-her/gallery/ Some are nice, but some are ... well, like this thing:

Does this remind anyone else of that VERY old Cheryl Teigs swimsuit poster?

Pnina Tornai.. She's made some beautiful dresses, but when she goes out there she goes way out there.

Well, it matches the backdrop.:D I could see this being worn in a broadway play or in a movie.

It reminds me of Cruella Deville! That would be awesome on Broadway.

That would make a great Cruella dress!!!

That is vile...

It looks like something Marie Antoinette would have worn..

Disneyland princess is the first thing I think of.

^ Did you see the Sophia Coppolla version of Marie Antionette? These look like dresses from the set. My guy teases me that I call it Rock & Roll Marie Antoinette!

^^^ The last dress appears like a my little pony vomited pepto bismol.

I actually like this one. Maybe a little less frilly but... I like it :o

I promise that I've seen dresses like a lot of these at quinces.:eek:

You too can wear a dress that looks like toliet paper

I always wanted to get married in spaghetti!

How do you WALK down the aisle in that?

She looks like she is praying for her butt bows to come undone and turn into angel wings so she can fly away from that dress.

In Russia it is customary to have a headpiece that represents the onion dome of the cathedral and the disco ball from the reception to confuse evil matryoshka dolls from attacking.

This dress made from mop heads is a great way to save money on the wedding. The bride can clean the dance floor while break dancing, no need to hire cleaners or lose the facility deposit!

The side eye of the woman in the western fringed skirt is awesome. Another way to save money, use the flowers and the wedding night lingerie for the dress.

Just because Scarlett O'hara was inspired to make an outfit out of curtains and drapery doesn't mean anyone else should

I'm going with Bride of Frankenstein or the Mummy.
