More naked than naked
Some designers specialize in wedding dresses with modesty panels. Jules Bly specialized in wedding dresses with immodesty panels. Her creations feature lush fabrics, intricate detailing, and all the see-through paneling you can shake a stick at.
If you want to show me how flat your stomach is on your wedding day because you’re really proud of having successfully completed bridal boot camp, I’m okay with that. But, as far as I know, nipples are not the newest, hottest bridal accessory. A hint of nipple indicated by the tiniest of shadows? Fine by me. The whole shebang, highlighted by your transparent bodice? Please, honey, your guests don’t need to see your girls.
The question is…would YOU wear it?
Demetrios has an entire line of gowns where the bodices look like merry widows. There was one that looked very much like what I bought to wear *under* my wedding dress, with a skirt added. For lingerie, transparent is pretty and sexy. For a wedding gown, it’s pretty much only appropriate for the wedding of a Las Vegas stripper.
And, no, I would not wear such a thing. Nor would anyone like to see me in one, other than my husband, in private. In public, I think he would have wrapped me in his suit jacket.
The first one, that looks rather like a bikini with a pareo over it, might be nice for a tropical elopement. Better than Pam Anderson’s white bikini, right?

No. Nonono. Wedding night? Absolutely. Wedding day? NO. Good lord.
I’m a firm believer in showing a bit of dignity when making solemn vows meant to last a lifetime, so no, I don’t think I’d show off my boobs in my wedding gown, even if I did have the implants the bride on the right is demonstrating.
There’s a time and a place for nearly everything, but not – I think – for these wedding gowns.
Besides, can you imagine wearing something like that in front of your mother? His mother? Grandma????
heavens to betsy no! i wouldn’t be able to bring myself to wear that even to our private elopement ceremony. in front of a preacher too?! aye.
As wedding night lingerie, yes. In front of anyone but my husband? Absolutely not.
I thought that WAS lingerie, until I read the text!
I wouldn’t wear it, but I bet my skanky cousin would!
The guys in my office all agree that they’d be the first in line to attend a wedding where the bride was wearing one of these numbers. As for me, I prefer the whole not-a-hooker look at weddings. So…no.
@Elizabeth: I totally have a skanky cousin that would wear one, too! Maybe we’re related.
My fiance would adore the second one. but I’m still not wearing it.
… damn, it would make nice lingerie!
For a whole host of reasons, no. Primary reasons being that I’m planning a (Catholic) church wedding and that I would sooner die than have my parents/grandparents OR his parents/grandparents see me in either of those dresses, even if I did have the world’s most desireable body.
Umm..maybe if I was secretly eloping and wasn’t planning to show anyone the photos EVER..although, you have to admit your FH might love this type of dress…perhaps wearing something similar for boudoir pics???
I think these are interesting wedding dresses. They look like something you could pick up in a Las Vegas hotel gift shop, stocked appropriately right between the condoms and the Kleenex. Do they happen to make either of these styles in paper by any chance? (A lot of Las Vegas weddings don’t last that long…. Ask Britney….)
