UNUSUAL WEDDING GOWNS

Oh MY GAWD. That''s just... there are no words. I cannot imagine what I''d do if I were a guest at that wedding. Fake a migraine and leave?


I actually thought about starting one of these threads, I was looking at some super high-end designer''s dress website and was like... what were they thinking?

Wow, don''t know what to say.  This couldn''t possibly be for real, could it?

YIKES!! ... i feel like there should be a caption under that photo reading, "when strippers say ''i do''..." 

...no words...

my friend in the UK sends me some great photos.  This one is from Essex, England.  The bride is bad, but her guests or bridesmaids, not sure who they are, but they are even worse.

That first one HAS to be photoshopped, right? It can''t be real!

WOWZA!!! That''s awesome! Ha!!

I have been tempted to start a thread like this also..... but I would be so worried that I would add a dress that someone on PS has. I guess some are obvious (so out there!!!) But I am not a fan of pickups or color on wedding dresses (theres a dress, not sure who makes it but it has red on it... makes me shudder every time I see it)

So.... will add something "safe" that I hope no one would dare wear!

i would not be suprised if it is real.  When I lived in the UK, I saw a lot of "mutton dressed as lamb" and woman wearing very dis-tasteful ensembles.

I''m wondering, is it considered a white dress if there is that much flesh showing? I mean... maybe that was her reasoning (assuming there was any reasoning).

That photo is floating around the internet, attached to a wedding "invitation." I bet it''s fake.

I passed by this shop in SF the other day:

http://www.mywedding.com/salonstudio2000/custom.html

The pictures don''t really express how ridiculous/over the top hideous some of these dresses were! A few are below...

PS One of the things you CAN''T tell from the photos is how cheap-looking they were. Imagine them all in cheap polyester...

I''ve seen that invite too.  My mom sent it and said "what happens when the groom''s mom writes the invite"  ;)

I found this dress while surfing...I can''t believe anyone would actually wear this.

Here''s the one that had me scratching my head. Elizabeth Filllmore Bridal (who actually has some lovely gown... just not this one). It can be yours for only... I''m guessing 5-15K.

wow!  it even looks like the model is trying not to laugh at the dress. 

For all the Hello Kitty girls out there... not that it's ugly, just not what I envisioned for my wedding. If it were a pale yellow, without the hello kitty stuff, I think it would be a perfect dress for "Belle" at Disney.

I''m gonna have to disagree with that. I really am.

I am having fun now.  I am sure we have all see this one at some point.

I know there is an ugly ring thread, so I thought it would be fun to have an ugle gown thread too (I did not see one already created, so I apologize if its there and I missed it). I thought this would be especially fun after my friend in the UK sent me the dress below. can''t wait to see what else is out there that people actually choose to wear to their wedding :)

There have been a few threads on this, all of them in poor taste IMHO.  Most didn''t really take off...perhaps because posting photos of people on their wedding day and then mocking their choice of dresses (albeit some of them are kind of "huh?" ) isn''t the nicest thing to do.

Remember that your "lovely" could be someone else''s "ugly."

I'm gonna have to say, I understand the chide and the warning T-Gal, but I think it can be done in a fun and lighthearted way, and honestly there are some people who find the ugly ring thread offensive. Folks just have to be a little careful to post things that are obviously bad, and not just things that don't suit personal taste.

I agree with TG in concept, but I still gotta say that the Boobage Girl couldn''t possibly be anyone''s idea of "lovely"

Can you imagine being the father of the bride

Yeah, i don''t think anyone wants to offend, but we must admit there are some dreses out there that are very unusual.  

Anyone remember this one, where the no one could stand next to the bride without stepping on her dress because her train and skirt were just HUGE? This one was real, and not too long ago!

The ugly ring thread doesn''t have people attached to it.
