THat's definitely a good style for the pregnant bride!

[traceria]

Someone mentioned a shotgun wedding below, too. Totally appropriate. ;)

I would think that top would do horrible things to one's assets.

Yes, she does look pregnant.

[traceria]

Yeah...and there's not much support either!

[whereismysam]

She looks like she's trying to hide a beached-whale. And what's with the poker-rode look down the middle of the front? The ruffled front just wouldn't sit well, being rather ... um ... blessed as I am up front. :P And those straps wouldn't support squat.

[traceria]

The straps really are a joke. *shakes head*

"The hills are aliiiiiiiiiive, with the sound of bad wedding dresses.... (aaaaaaah)...." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Yeah, curtains is a pretty apt description. The dress kind of hangs like them too. Sheer curtains that you'd find at your grandmother's house. If you zoom in on the hem in the back, you really get that impression.

The first thing I thought when I saw the chest is that this might also be a good (*snicker*) choice for a girl who was completely flat-chested, because then it might look like she actually had something there. Or for the shotgun wedding crowd, in case she had to hide any suspicious tummy bulges. Definitely not good for the rest of us, though.

Also, I have to say that DB really needs to invest in some people who know how to put in zippers better than I do. Because that looks like one of my zipper jobs. That is not a compliment, considering that zippers are often my sewing kryptonite.

[traceria]

Someone had to do it!

Why can't I see the back?! Argh. Oh, wait. Got it now. They need a thumbnail up in there.

The back view really reinforces the Grandma's curtains theory. Heh.

[althene]

Er, awkward dress. Definitely makes one look pregnant when worn.

I (finally) voted on the Worst Dress poll. Unfortunately, my vote didn't help in breaking any of the ties. :(

[traceria]

That's okay, you went with your gut. ;) Thanks for participating! Someone did break the tie, so unless someone else ties it up, should be good. If tie they do again, we'll have a second vote between the two and you'll get to have your say between them then!
