Oh my - I need to get married so I can wear this!

It’s so gorgeous:

For the reception I haven’t decided, but possibly a dress from here:

Ho hum - I’ll have to hit the apps. 😄

(Very sorry, I don’t have a question.)

Oh dear, I can't think who would look good in this strange outfit!

Looks like air is being blown up the sleeves and have wire in them.

That bride has had enough of everyone’s shit 😂

Why is the model posing like a penguin?

Oh my word that dress is …. Interesting 😂😂

It looks like something from a horror movie.

😂😂😂

£2k for that monstrosity, jeepers.

And £3k to look like I walked out of Top Shop in the 80’s… which I did many times!

Fortunately, @KojaksLollipop I actually like spending money on clothes.

Looking like I’d walked out of Topshop in the eighties would be golden - and yes I did, too. But I’d never noticed Magda Butrym giving that vibe. The clothes are far, far too complex.

That is truly awful and they are not selling it with the picture! 🤣

Each to their own. And that is not mine.

It is a dreadful dress.

<Sighs>

I was hoping to encounter a fellow enthusiast who would recognise the continuum from Droopy & Browns to Cawley Studio. It was not to be …

Unfortunately even though we may ‘recognise’ that it doesn’t make it nice.

You missed the word ‘enthusiast’ …

But I genuinely would love the first dress for a civil ceremony (if I hadn’t got round to saving up for vintage Dior or McQueen, which I probably wouldn’t have). It’s weird to think strangers seeing me going in or out would be thinking how dreadful I looked. Despite how delighted I’d be with my image in the mirror.

Hmm, maybe not Top Shop, but I definitely had more than one of those dresses in the 80’s, I have photographic evidence of it too, oh dear!

I love the skirt and body but I’d have the have the sleeves tapered - sorry!1

Somehow that dress isn’t the ugliest one in their wedding ranges, by quite a way. I can’t work out if it’s a pisstake website. Actually I know it isn’t, but honestly this is the epitome of ‘we saw you coming’.

Good Lord, she looks like nurse Ratched has just plucked a Christmas turkey

I hadn't heard of Cawley, but absolutely love every single item in the bridal gallery!!! Now fantasising about working some of the veils and that gorgeous skirt into my everyday wardrobe...

I like it, it's not boring. The styling clearly lets you know that this is not entry level fashion for beginners 😁
The party dresses on the 2nd website are perfect, daydreaming about a green taffeta strapless Topshop I wore to my graduation ball. I am just starting on watching Rivals and I just love the 80s aesthetic.

At least they make them to order. There won’t be many made that aren’t wanted.

Im convinced ‘fashion’ is designed to keep women from looking in anyway like a normal, functioning part of society just so men have an excuse not to take us seriously.

For those who have always wanted to look like an overgrown toddler on their wedding day.

or a comedia dell’arte extra…

Not my cup of tea at all, OP. I honestly struggle to believe that anyone would want to buy these…

but you might find my wedding dress dreadfully boring… but I happen to love it! Which is what matters. So wear whatever your heart desires (well, within the bounds of legality, possible financial constraints etc…)! 🤷‍♀️

I’m already married, but maybe I should wear it to my son’s wedding one day. I’ll practice that facial expression in the meantime.
