Need Your Unfiltered Thoughts on This 2005 Wedding Dress

Hey friends! 💍👰
So, I found this wedding dress from 2005, and I need your honest-to-goodness thoughts. I can't figure out if it's cool in a vintage way or just completely out of style and awful.
Don't hold back or try to be nice – I want your unfiltered opinions! Whether you think it's awesome or awful, I want to hear it. I know you all will tell it like it is.

I don't like it I'm afraid. I was never a fan of the quilted loo roll look.

Rebootnecessary · 03/08/2023 09:33

I'm sorry but I'm not keen. The skirt reminds me of ruched roman blinds - and not in a good way.

The bottom half is a bit like those toilet roll covers of days gone by (the dolls with the frilly dresses). It's also a bit too shiny for my liking and despite being quite fussy at the bottom, there's not really any pretty delicate details.

I think there's much nicer out there to be fair.

BrookNoRivals · 03/08/2023 09:34

I don't like it at all.

Meeting · 03/08/2023 09:34

Honestly, I hate everything about it. The shape, the design and the fabric are all outdated and look really unflattering on the very slim model.

DatumTarum · 03/08/2023 09:35

Nah, not old enough to be vintage. Just looks dated.

I never did like shoulderless wedding dresses anyway- they look unfinished.

SuperSange · 03/08/2023 09:35

I didn't like those when they were fashionable I'm afraid, never mind now. It's not vintage yet, just dated. Sorry.

LivingitLarge · 03/08/2023 09:35

No very dated sorry.

turkeyboots · 03/08/2023 09:37

I like it. I always like that quilted look on fabric.

ManuelBensonsLeftBoot · 03/08/2023 09:39

Ummm honestly? it looks like she got caught in the duvet while trying to change the bedding.

Horrendous OP. Truly of it’s time.

as others say, it’s not really old enough to be vintage or classic.

keep looking :)

667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 03/08/2023 09:42

its not something I would wear but I’m old lol in my 50s and a bit weird! But if you like it wear it ! It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks at the end of the day as it’s your wedding and if you don’t wear what You want then you’ll regret it. If you’re not sure then try a few more before you decide. It’s hard until you actually try something on as it needs to suit your figure too. I think you will know when you have found the right one.

Florissante · 03/08/2023 10:59

Not a fan. Sorry.

FarEast · 03/08/2023 11:35

If it’s a church wedding the strapless style is inappropriate. It’s usually not a flattering look on most women anyway.

It just looks a bit like it’s all made of flammable and tacky polyester instead of silk.

cuckyplunt · 03/08/2023 11:37

Who cares what they think, do you like it OP?

and for what it’s worth, I think it’s lovely.

TeaPotPetPig · 03/08/2023 11:42

Oh dear. It looks like it's melting. In another, lighter fabric, just possibly, and maybe in another 20 years.

MillWood85 · 03/08/2023 11:50

I like it.

I'd add a belt though.

C8H10N4O2 · 03/08/2023 12:01

Reminiscent of 1980s Austrian blind obsession!

kannnet96 · 03/08/2023 12:03

I'm pretty sure I tried that dress on back in 2006. I it was very heavy and hard to move it

LouisaMayAlcott · 03/08/2023 14:26

I'm not keen it looks like you've parachuted in and not bothered removing the parachute before you've walked up the aisle (well not you personally but the bride wearing it)

Sarah484l · 03/08/2023 15:49

I'm actually really glad I did this ... So I think we are all agreed? Hideous? lol

It looks like Austrian blinds. Awful!

stayathomer · 03/08/2023 15:54

I’m so sorry op, it wouldn’t be for me either. I was about to say ‘but if you love it’ but I can’t say it. I’m so sorry

Sarah484l · 03/08/2023 16:09
