to think strapless wedding dresses aren't very flattering.

[meyesmyeyes]

They look so unflattering on most people, especially if the top bit is too tight, resulting in any back and side fat 'spilling' up and over the sides of the dress.
You see Brides spending the whole day hoicking the dress up every five minutes - not a good look on your wedding day surely.

Anybody else think that the more traditional dresses look better?

pilates I love the shoulder detailing and the beadwork. And the colour.

I'm quite small in the bust area and petite so I can't get away with a full length, strapless affair.

op, going to cause a few ruffles here, but I just think the hoiking up is annoying and they are just boring .

I had one although it wasn't my initial intention. I am/was skinny and my arms were ok...
It think it's all about the arms

That dress is utterly amazing and yet how many celebs and people with deep pockets do we EVER SEE wearing a winner like that??? even kate moss was let down.

That dress is AMAZING. utterly stunning, even the back is amazing, amazing!

please post pic if you ever do get married in something like that!

its enchanting and poetic everything a dress should be?

good for your sister I had similar issues, far too fat for conventional styles but 50's looked much better.

I'm also starting to hate the sight of 50s style tea dresses! Boring!

Yes it's stunning, you wouldn't need any jewellery with that dress, just may be some earrings.

I'll let Dp know he has to propose so I can get to wear that dress

I think it's around the $300 mark from etsy so it won't break the bank either.

wow only $300??????????????????????????????

Enorm is it really?? It's gorgeous! Where's that seller!? What's the shop called please?

Here's the pinterest link

www.pinterest.com/pin/497577458803953139/ it's from a shop called LoveBirdsBakery on etsy. But I think it's sold but if you can find the seller you could probably get a custom order.

It's not from Etsy! It's by Anna Campbell according to the Google search of image I just did...I'm sure it's a lot more than 300!

www.annacampbell.com.au/made-to-measure/gossamer-collection

Here...it's from the made to measure collection.

No...Enormous that Pinterest link is just bait. the image is from the Anna Campbell collection and will be a lot more than 300 dollars.

Oh thanks for that Mrs, that explains the broken link. [Durr brained emoticon]

I'll cancel the proposal so I can save up for it.

God, that website's nice.

Well I don't like them because they all look the same to everyone except the bride. I got married nearly ten years ago and even then there 98% strapless dresses in the shop and about two with sleeves.

I'm also old fashioned and I think that strapless is a bit too revealing for a wedding dress, but that's me for you (hoiks bosom in Triumph Doreen Bra)

I'm hoping this fad will pass because it's hard to get excited about a bride who is wearing the millionth strapless wedding dress. Very few can pull it off really well.

Even though I'm not fan, the nicest wedding dress I have ever seen was Geri's!

Oh my god that Anna Campbell stuff is incredible! THAT is what a beautiful wedding dress looks like (pretty much all of them on that website) If I had known about her I would have worn a gown like that, but is a similar in feel to what I did wear, the Alice Temperley silk top had a very beautiful back to it

They're seriously gorgeous frocks aren't they? They're not actually THAT expensive given the beauty...$3000 aussie dollars for one I like which works out at about 1500...ok that's loads of money isn't it? I'm in fantasy land

Those dresses are sublime.

Just looked at Geri Halliwell's dress, she looked lovely.

Ooooo! That website has exquisite dresses! Remember Fearne Massive Nostrils Cotton's dress? Delicious.

Thankfully this fashion seems to be drawing towards a close. Strapless dresses are find as ballgowns, but as wedding dresses they just look a bit cheap and ubiquitous. There is nothing elegant and romantic about them, which to be honest reflects a lot of weddings nowadays.
