Bloody things. Everywhere. Cliche. Dull
But fat arms backs ew.
And back hamsters.

USUAL DISCLAIMERS:

No it's not my business.
Yes I'm a cow
No they shouldn't wear burkas

That dress is hideous....

Baskets45 · 14/07/2012 15:53

Yeah, but a really thin person won't have the tits to hold a strapless job up, so they won't look good either. I'm biased, a fatty with acne (just the odd touch now I'm out of adolescence, mind), and I do love lacy sleeves.

Baskets45 · 14/07/2012 15:54

But banning's a bit extreme, in my view.

formerdiva · 14/07/2012 15:55

OK, sounding a bit attention seeking to me. I'm off...

AnnaMosity · 14/07/2012 15:55

baskets - I think between us we could enforce it?
dawn raids, compulsory reg process of all dresses?

I think very few women look good in strapless.

I think even if it fits & there´s no overhang, they often make the wearer look wide/broad shouldered.

Mwb22 - I work
In the wedding industry, leave it with me ;)

AnAirOfHope · 14/07/2012 15:57

Many!

I think it depeneds on the dress and the shape of the woman wearing it.

Why so grumpy OP?

  1. It's disrespectful to be married in church without shoulders covered. Doesn't matter about elsewhere, I suppose.
  2. Anything strapless is usually wired into place so you don't need a bra and there's usually so much of it that you don't need a petticoat either. .

Yep, AM, let's give it a try! And I've got 4 sons and we have at least 2 black balaclavas. They like a good pretendy commando raid. not sure what the wedding dress theme would do for their street cred, but anyway ....

AnnaMosity · 14/07/2012 16:04

WRENCH them off porky arms and flaccid wobbly tits.

great - love the balaclava idea.

I would like a dress like one on Strictly come dancing. Integral Knickers so no VPL, boning etc etc.

Ban all wedding dresses as they are generally hideous. But espesh strapless ones. Unless you are Audrey Hepburn-a-like you will look like a sack of spuds, and be perpetually hoiking the top up.
Boring too.
I always wear red to my weddings Grin

There are a few with straps by this designer. Bound to be £££ though.

Strapless wedding dresses are all so boring. They all look the same. I had sleeves. I like sleeves.

diddl · 14/07/2012 16:07

Lined?

NotGeoffVader · 14/07/2012 16:07

I don't think it has anything to do with size. Shape, carriage and toned-ness yet. I have seen some amazing-looking size 16 plus ladies in far skimpier things and they looked brilliant. I have a saggy paunch and flabby arms and would look rank. BTW I have slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10.

pumpkinsweetie · 14/07/2012 16:07

I would like to ban small minded peopleGrin

Chubfuddler · 14/07/2012 16:08

Wasn't Anniston wearing a halter neck?

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 14/07/2012 16:08

I loved my wedding dress, was totally right for me, pic on profile, I probably look like all your thoughts on strapless wedding dresses and I don't give a flyinf fuck

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 14/07/2012 16:08

Anyone with a mind under size 12 should be banned
