LOVE/HATE: The ‘What’s That Supposed to Be’ Edition
Oversize bows on wedding dresses are one thing; this is quite another. While this wedding gown purports to have a bow in the back, I’m not so sure that ‘bow’ is the first thing that comes to mind when I look at this Renella De Fina creation. Is this dress stacked in the back? Sure. Was that bow tied by someone suffering from delirium tremens? You betcha!
But whatever, giant bows are nothing new, whether they’re in the front or in the back or goodness knows where. I’ve seen bows before. Am I just missing the bow in this picture, or do I need to squint at it until I go all Magic Eye crosseyed? Hate, hate, hate. Too messy!
What say you?
Hate. It looks like someone draped a satin bedsheet around the model and then used a stapler to hold it together in the back.
It’s Meeelllltinnnng!
I definitely don’t see a bow. I actually really liked the dress when the page was loading and it just showed the top of the back. The bottom just looks like a hot mess.
Sorry, I maybe am suffering from bolshie-bride syndrome but, while I don’t love the dress to pieces, I thought it was pretty enough in an elegant and slightly interesting way… what prompted my comment was the “messy” aspect – I think, for me, that is a reason to love it right there by itself. There seems to be so much emphasis in weddings on symmetry, tidiness, and some sort of “classic” thing, that seeing something a little undone does it for me. I’d like it a lot less if it was neat and prettily tied in a matching bow.
I’m with Penguin…I kinda like that it’s not perfectly symmetrical and kind of messy. But I will agree with you NtB that whatever that thing on the back is, it is not a bow.
