I had my final fitting a day or so ago, and I’ve learned something from the whole dress selection process. I’ve learned that eight gajillion layers of French taffeta and various sorts of netting come together to form a very heavy end product. If I can wear my wedding dress for a day without succumbing to muscle fatigue, I’ll be a happy bride indeed.
Where I to do it all over again, I might very well choose something like this fresh and airy Gunne Sax number:
Okay, maybe I’d choose something a little more mature than that. But not way more mature…I’m still young, dang it! And I also wouldn’t stand with my pelvis permanently thrust out like this poor deformed model.
Thanks for stopping by my site today! I hope your special day goes off without a hitch.
A massive gown is heavy, yes, but there’s nothing like one for feeling elegant and regal.
OTOH, that dress is adorable, despite the bizarre pelvic thrust on the part of the model. On her, it looks a little childish, but I think it’s the extreme youthfulness of her face and the odd pose. On a more mature-looking woman, I think it would still look lovey and appropriate.
It almost looks like they are trying to make her child-like (which I find disturbing) because of the garish smile and the awkward pose. As if the dress doesn’t accomplish that feat by itself!…
What up with the slouching (and often surly-looking) models all the time? Who puts on a strapless wedding gown and immediately says, “let’s see if I can make my sternum touch my pelvis?”
