Here's the photo: http://www.lynnlugobridal.com/images/bridesmaids_33.jpg I like how the one in the middle is wearing an her very best bitch face. Though I guess I wouldn't be happy either if my friend made me wear a giant gunmetal gray sack that flattened my boobs.

Wait, can it be worn backwards and frontwards? Gah, that's what it looks like in the photo! That stupid bow ruins the entire thing at any rate. Why? Why? Why? Were I forced to wear such a monostrosity I might have to stab the bride or, at the very least, lock myself in the powder room.

I thought the same thing, Long Island...until I realized how difficult it must be to smile when the entire design and construction of your dress makes it look like you put it on backwards. After the seventeenth time telling someone 'no, really, it's SUPPOSED to look like this' I'd probably look like I wanted to commit savage acts of violence, too. Hee!

That one model has such dour expression. For some strange reason that photo made think ahhh the Children of the Corn all grown up. What is up with those two models holding hands?

Seriously, the only other time you see them is on really big presents. Maybe there is a nice shiny iPhone hiding in her midriff area? Guilty Secret: And even then people would wonder what you're hiding! Twistie: That's the thing -- the Lynn Lugo site has some dresses with absolutely stunning sashes! If these bows had been sashes, this post would never have existed. Tara: Oh don't I know it! I like to joke with The Beard that I'll be happier with my body when it looks like I have a baby belly and not a "food baby." Right now I just look like I had a very big lunch... blablover5: That explains why I always want to start unwrapping anyone wearing a bow that big.

I had a CHEST bow dress in college, and I loved that thing like no other. But maybe it's because that's an area that could use a little (or a lot of) addition in my case. And if you HAVE found any dress that makes a 4-month pregnant belly look flat, please do share! You'll be the toast of the preggers community. Sure, the bump doesn't show under really roomy clothes, but then I just come out looking all-round thick. For once in my life, I'm praying for more stomach so that it's clearly "baby" and not the Ben & Jerry's sale our grocery store has been running all this month.

Seriously, though, what is the deal with the oversized bows? A nice sash can be pretty. A small bow can have charm. An oversized bow simply sticks out like a sore thumb making the wearer look like a doofus. I can find sympathy in my heart for nearly any potential fashion trend, but it has long seemed to me that butt bows (wherever they may be placed on the victim's anatomy) were created purely to make sure the bridesmaid looks stupid so she can't possibly be prettier than the woefully insecure bride. Of course that doesn't explain the ones plopped down on bridal gowns. The theory is a work in progress. I haven't ironed out all the wrinkles yet.
