Cool site! I really liked Diane Krueger's dress. In fact, my wedding gown looked very similar. (Check it out in my blog.) I had not wanted a typical bridal dress, wanting to look like someone who's on her way to the Oscars instead but when my fashion designer insisted I wear something sexy, I hesitated since it may be hard to move about. To my surprise, the figure-hugging dress she made for me fit like a glove and was just as comfortable. Hi, I stumbled onto this site by lucky chance! Cool site!

In vague pastels I look like a maiden who would be described as "poorly" in a Victorian novel: pasty, dark circles, tired. I'd like to look cool, ethereal and calm; not like someone who has literally "passed beyond the veil"... I can tell you right now, I’d look three-years-dead in that color, as much as I love it.

Of course she looks short--most people do, when they're put next to someone who's seven inches taller. I love Reese's dress. I wonder how I'd look in that color...

I guess what I was trying to say is that, in my book, there are millions of versions of flattering and beautiful, and not all of them are created to absolutely maximize slenderness. But then again, my 6 yr. old [and youngest child] told me at <i>least</i> three times in the last month "Mom, you look like you're going to have a baby," so what do I know?! (cont’d)

I get real tired of the slinky, skin-tight-from-neck-to-knees look. I understand the "if you've got it, flaunt it" idea; but on the other hand, I feel like if you really feel beautiful and confident in whatever you're wearing, it doesn't necessarily need to be built to convince everyone else as well. (Now <i>that</i> theory will probably go over like a lead balloon. And no, it doesn't excuse anything Sally Kirkland wears.) I dunno.

She tends to be of a more normal size when compared to most Hollywood actresses. I like that. I’m not sure it’s the dress making Reese look beefy.

It does look gently tarnished and oxidized, which I think adds to it's charm. But it also makes her arms look beefy for some strange reason. Thanks much! 1955 makes sense.

Makes Reese look shorter and wider. I'm also not convinced by Jennifer Garner's gown in the boobular area - total lack of support. I think Naomi Watts' gown looks like she was attacked by a box of nude-colored Kleenex. Totally agree, dataceptionist. Makes Reese look shorter and wider.

While I like Reese Witherspoons, it makes her look shorter than she already is. I actually really love Nicole Kidmans, I mean aside from her figure to die for, I think its gorgeous.
