To ban strapless wedding dresses being manufactured over a size 12?

[AnnaMosity]

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

agree with OP. YOu have to have nice shoulders to wear strapless but also not too thin or tiny of boob that it falls off. It's very over now anyway...

I agree it doesnt look good on big people but they don't look good on very thin people either, too much bone on display.

But YABU, in the sense there isn't much other than strapless.

If you don't want to see fat people, close your fucking eyes. HTH.

Strapless wedding dresses are dull and a favourite with footie wags. Not as classy or dignified looking as sleeves or straps.

I am a size 26, if I want to wear a strapless dress on my wedding day you can be sure I will!! Even if you get your law passed, I can sew and shall alter my dress!!

3 months pregnant when I got married, strapless dress. Definitely helped on the rack front.

No church either

Bolero jacket too.

Loved the dress.

I don't see arm / back rolls when I look at the pictures, just a slightly rounded tummy that is DS1.

God I wish I was a footie wag.

Endless shopping, large screen TV and not worrying about money.

sorry to any WAGS out there, I'm sure there are downsides too/.

I don't like strapless wedding dresses either, makes even slim women look big around the shoulders and back

Sorry !!

YANBU, and for bridesmaids' dresses too. I'm being forced in to one two months after next dc is due. I'll be breast feeding, still very fat (I put on loads when pg due to the extreme diet I use to avoid taking insulin for my GD).

DD will be 2.5 and a flower girl and therefore will spend huge amounts of time with my bum in the air bending down to her showing of my flabby cleavage and leaky boobs.

Right now I hate my best friend for it but she's determined all her bridesmaid will wear the same bloody dress.

They are a bit shite I'm a 12 and found it really difficult to get one sleeves for my wedding. And I did not want to channel Freddie Mercury by wearing a bolero on my wedding day.

I looked like a parsnip in any strapless ones I tried on. I went for a Monsoon one in the end, was really happy with it.

Yanbu. I wonder if it's lack of choice that means there's not much else to choose from.

Mine had long sleeves.

I'm getting married soon and my dress is strapless. I think it looks fucking fantastic.

I don't care if I look the same as any other brides, there'll be no other brides at my wedding, so who cares?

Mine was a halter neck, it doesn't have to have sleeves to look classy, but strapless is hardly ever flattering.

I had a size 14 strapless wedding dress and looked beautiful. Dress size alone is a rubbish guide to anything as height and build are also important. If you are big I think you actually look worse in mirangue dresses with puffy sleeves and can look good in a more taylored number anyway. If you're big and wobbly I'd avoid strapless dresses, but gig and solid should be fine and probably have less of a problem keeping the top up without straps than skinny and boobless.

What about kilts on men with dodgy legs?
Or is it only other women we love to criticize?

Strapless wedding dresses, we are on to your bullshit

Mine was a 14, and I had no back fat or fat arms. You realise taller people can be bigger sizes and still be in proportion and not fat? YABU and a bit of a dick.

I looked fucking awesome.

Each to their own op, mind your business.

I got married in one 16 years ago and strapless wedding dresses were really unusual then. I managed to find some matching material and made a silk wrap thing and the dress still looks modern now. It is a tiny size 12 (25.5 waist) and last year I lost loads and loads of weight and now it fits again.
Slightly of topic but I wanted to share.

I disagree, I think you need a big chest to hold them up- so that could be any size? You need good shoulders as well IMO.

I had to wear a monsoon one as a bridesmaid dress as it was the only dress my fellow heavily pregnant bridesmaid could fit her pregnant belly in. She looked really stunning as she had a great chest to pull it off. I on the other hand was 32 a and kept pulling it up so I didn't reveal myself. I was a size 8- 10 at the time so nothing to do with dress size in terms of how good it looked.

er this is AIBU
you dont say " each to their own"!

LOL

Don't really get why people think you need a big chest for a strapless gown to stay up/look nice if the dress fits correctly then it stays comfortably in place.

I don't really get why designers cry that there's a demand for such dresses when it's all most people have to choose from!

I agree with the op, although I think let people wear what they want, and if they look rubbish well that's up to them. Every time I go to a wedding a a bride is wearing a strapless gown I think, yawn there's another.

It shows a lack of body awareness and creativity I think. Did all the people hating on the op have strapless ones by any chance?
