worst wedding gowns
 

I was thinking it is only proper for us to put up the dresses that we would consider the most tacky, ugly or downright hideous wedding dresses. We have a thread for ones we would wear, why not one for dresses we wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

Did anyone wear the condom one or was it just for show?

The middle two gowns from ASUADpi's posting were from an Irish Traveler wedding-truly tacky!

The condom dress photo has been passed around as a prom dress before.

Still...fun thread!

What are Irish Travelers. Is that similar to the Roma?

Try this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Traveller

I can't believe that more than one person wore something like this one.

I'm afraid to post in this thread as I would probably post the dress of some GCer and start a fight.

Classic! I remember most of these dresses. It's scary :eek:these pics are still circulating!

Hopefully ya'll didn't dislike my dress!!! :)

Anyway, I CANNOT stand this dress that appeared on Say Yes to the Dress more than once! It is just wrong and it looks like more like lingerie than a wedding dress.

I remember one bride who was furious that her stomach was visible! I remember thinking no s***! It is like freakin' lingerie what did you expect!

I also am not a fan of the "colored" dresses. I don't mind an accent color here and there. But an entire dress that is red or blue, it just confuses me and I don't get it!

Oh and I have had a few friends who have worn strapless and their dress looks awful! Just because you like your chest doesn't mean everyone in their mother wants to see your chest presented like boobs on a platter! Seriously people! Strapless is not for everyone and I almost think that bigger chested women should stay away! Almost as bad as halter dress where the halter is too tight!

^^ What's not to get? The whole white thing is relatively recent.

I am soooooooo over strapless dresses!

I saw a blog ripping on "bad" wedding dresses and they posted a yellow one while talking about how bad a color yellow was for a wedding. Except the mannequin's in Asia, i couldn't tell based on the lettering reflection in the window what country, but hello, white is not the universal color of weddings outside of the west, and even then, it's not the only color!

It's all Queen Victoria's fault, really.

I can't stand wedding dresses that look like lingerie. It doesn't seem appropriate for the occasion. Not like everyone at my wedding (well, the ones that know me) are going to think I'm some untouched flower, but still. I'm personally not going to go for sexy.

In some cultures wedding dresses are in different colors (like red). But I do agree that it seems odd for a wedding here in the states.

ETA: As far as strapless...it's not my style for my hypothetical wedding dress, but I think it's a bad idea for the super endowed and those like me...those that are lacking. I agree I don't want to look at boobs during the wedding. But for people like me, even with good alterations it's hard to keep that dress in place all night. And pulling up a dress is bad enough on most occasions but especially during your own wedding. I'll have straps (or preferably cap sleeves) myself for that reason.

I was going to say, "Oh hey, look, another wedding thread"...But I have to admit, some of these are pretty good, lol

Well I'm a child of the 70s and I'm pretty sure it's been around in the 3 decades I've been around :D

My great grandmother (who was born in 1896, married around 1921) wore white...so maybe it's a regional thing or a Southern thing...if you want to wear blood red or some other color that is fine but it's just not my thing.

I have seen some brides pull off the strapless. I think if you have a good figure and aren't too big on top it works. But I have one friend in mind when I wrote that last night! Her boobs looked like they were on a platter and it just didn't work! I am not one to tell someone what they are wearing looks awful, but for wedding dress shopping I think I would speak up! (I know I did with my sister that's for sure!)

I have pretty big boobs and I think my strapless dress turned out alright. I hate halter dresses but would never say that people shouldn't wear them. To me it's more of a tailoring/fit issue than the cut of the dress -- if your dress is tailored properly you shouldn't have to tug on it at all.

Yes a good tailor/alterations person is a must! I'm sure you looked fabulous in your dress ;)

That model SCARES me.

Or a Halloween costume... lol

I can't lie, there's something about this one that I kindof love. I mean, atrocious as a wedding gown, but as a gown in general, makes me kindof wish that giormous skirts like that were still in fashion.

Can someone tell me why there even IS a Barbie Bridal Collection??

I would have worn the SHIT out of one of those Barbie dresses as a subversive prom dress, with like, punk styling. I adore them.

That was my question. :confused:

With the face the girl in the blue is making, the overall effect is Cinderella if she were starring in a porno.

secretly loving this dress (not for a wedding though...)

Lol about wearing the shit out of a dress. :p

My question too.
I also am not a strapless fan. My cousin is very pretty and thin but it looked terrible on her, her collarbones stuck out :( I like at least an off the shoulder or something that resembles a strap lol.

Just saw this. Must be the historian in me talking. By relatively recent i meant the mid 1800s lol.

I don't like strapless either, but it seems to be about all that is available unless you go to a site like latterdaybride.com. That's why I would like the denim dress posted upthread if it were in white.

wow, those are vile!

Me too! They're kind of fun...I have a white-tie ball in January and wonder if I can pull it off. :D
