  • Some Say Yes To The Dress Brides just wanna have fun and bare it all, and why shouldn't they? Well, there could be a few reasons, modesty, family, and religion all usually play a role in why a kibosh is put on a dress that is sheer and showcases a lot of the wearer's body. And while that's all good for those that want to respect those values, there also happens to be a set of brides that just wants to let it all hangout out and we gotta discuss them too!

    Luke going in ready to mock dresses and instantly caving to empathy for the woman the second she showed vulnerability really shows you who he is deep down. Regardless of if he likes your fashion choices, he doesn't want you to feel bad. I really like that. Fashion channels shouldn't be about tearing people down 100% of the time. We stan a non-toxic king.

      @missmay713 22 дні тому

      I think it's the time and place that makes him squirm. There's nothing inherently bad about super revealing clothes, but every style has a time and place. And when a person makes a fashion choice that the majority would consider poorly suited for the occasion, it tends to look awkward in a way that makes people have that reaction. Same idea is there's nothing wrong with sweatpants, but if a lawyer wore it to court people would raise eyebrows and be confused by it. Nothing wrong with wearing white, but if you show up in a white dress at your sister's wedding, it won't be as positively received.

    For the English lady, the super sheer dress didn’t give her body and definition like the third dress did. When you tell a person what looks good or not on them you have to give specific reasons not just “it looks vile” that’s an opinion not a actual reason why it doesn’t suit you. Also, sometime’s when you’re turning a page in life you wear things that reflect the new you and if people don’t like it they can look the other way.

      Right?! Put her in a fitted trumpet Pnina Tornei dress and she'd be elated. Usually when the bride tries a gown on for the 2nd time, and when the dress is the one, they put the veil on her so she can see the whole look. Consultants also usually make sure to do that in cases like hers, where they've already bought dresses but are still looking. Sometimes they just need to see the whole look together to feel like a bride, and I was surprised the consultant didn't do that.

It's weird to me for someone to want to be sexy and show off their body in a moment like that. Of all the other moments one has to do it, why does the wedding have to be it? In contrast, men aren't dressing to show off their bodies at their wedding. They aren't at the alter in muscle tees and hoochie daddy shorts. Wear what you want, but I also question why it's only been wedding dresses that have become more and more revealing.

    the way some people phrase things is awful, like if you dislike the dress make sure it's clear you're commenting on the dress! some of these people's 'friends' just sound like they're brutally insulting them
    Also, why were kleinfelds unable to find something sexy and slinky for that last bride? Like it's not a particularly wild idea- slinky fabric, low back, high slit and a sweetheart neckline but they kept pulling really bulky gowns

      I don't personally care what she wears. But the bride is being very selfish, wanting to make her family uncomfortable. Imagine what is going to happen with a roomful of guests?
      The bride is excited to make everyone uncomfortable. That tells me that her whole point of the wedding is not to marry her fiancé but to flaunt her bits in public even if they don't want to see them.
      And yeah, shaming is the old-fashioned way to keep people inside social constructs. What else do you want to do? Shaming THIS bride reminds her that there are public decency laws to be mindful of.

    The #1 rule of fashion and weddings is to put on what makes you happy. There is an art to balancing your “edge” with social expectation. Some are better at it than others, and some just don’t care to balance at all which I honestly respect. Personally, I think a bit of nudity is a fabulous choice if it’s purposeful.
    That being said, the purpose of bringing an entourage is to get an idea of people’s reaction to your dress. If you can hear your future MIL tell you she hates it but you still are brave enough to wear it, then girlie it’s the dress for you!

  • @Sophia-rq6oo

    It took me a bit to figure out what my issue with bride No 1’s second dress was but I think I figured it out: to me it feels like half a dress, like it’s just the lace overlay and it makes it feel either unfinished or like a very expensive nightgown bc of the missing structure in it. I think there would’ve been a way to use that super sheer concept but still make it feel like an actually finished dress imo. But I absolutely loved the third dress on her!
    Bride no 2 I’m so sorry for her entourage bc they aren’t in her corner at all and are just telling her what her parents wouldn’t approve of as if she doesn’t know that herself.
    I actually really liked the bodice of the second dress on her (the one with the fufu skirt), but I wasn’t a fan of the skirt bc to me it distracted from the bodice too much? I think that bodice with a different skirt could actually look really elegant. Also I’ve been to many church weddings and if the top part was “too sexy” it’s not unusual to just have a short jacket styled on top that covers the shoulders for the ceremony 🤷

      It's not shaming people. It's reminding them that it is a wedding and not a "look at me" show of one. She is only one half of the wedding. And she literally wants people to be embarrassed and feel uncomfortable to be there.
      If giving her a dose of reality is "shaming" then that's ok too. Remember that we are talking about a wedding here. Not going clubbing. If her friends and family exemplify the wedding guests, then it is rather selfish and rude for the bride to throw that in their faces like that.
      Reality is reality. We cannot always do whatever we want to do without any boundaries. We live in a world full of adults. If her wedding was for nudists, perhaps it would be different. But the reality is that her family is extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed. She would be spitting on the faces of people who are there to celebration her marriage. You don't think that behavior needs shaming?

    My dislike for very sheer wedding dresses stems from a single thing: I can't concentrate on the bride's face in them (and I'm a heterosexual woman). I personally feel that these dresses take away the focus from the person getting married, showcasing a mere body instead. As if it didn't matter who's in front of the altar as long as they're hot. Again, this is just a personal opinion, and I also believe that it's possible to find something sexy but not overly revealing (like the first or third dresses. I LOVED those.), but for me, completelly sheer is just too much. Of course if someone wants to wear a sheer dress for their wedding, it's their wedding, so go for it!

    You need to host a show like this! You would make it so much better. Love your opinion and style.

    The sad music they played for that woman for "before" her plastic surgery was hilarious....the second lady's friends made me depressed. Ugh.

    I still don't understand why people drag their relatives along...its good TV but at the end of the day, I would go alone, try a bunch of dresses on and buy my own, which I did, and never regretted it. You don't need anyone's approval !

    The 2nd bride looked beautiful in her favorite dress. Some churches don't allow any sleeveless or uncovered outfits. There must have some lovely cover ups that could be from a veil to slipon sheer jacket- I saw a gorgeous wedding dress that had the layers.
