Thanks; I didn't mind my quotation marks when embedding the link.

Yeah, the back is quite atrocious!

Not to worry, there are still some nice dresses out there.

Wow. Just, wow. Now that is a prime example of how NOT to use color in a wedding dress. Also, for some reason, the picture of the front and the back look exactly the same, other than the back zooms in more. Also also, the row of buttons going entirely down the back does absolutely nothing for the dress. Especially since it looks like they skipped a couple and made them white. (Honestly, it looks kind of like the designer made it too short two times in a row and was trying to hide his mistake ( ... )

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Truth be told, I came across the runner-up after picking the first one and edited the entry to include it. ;)

Everytime I think about bustles, I recall the step-sisters' dresses from Cinderella. Heh.

Oh, the ones with the bouncy butts!! Haha, yeah!

Oh my word, the bows. :O

Are you sure you don't want to pick this dress? Because you could totally match us with the Pool ribbon on our dresses. [/snark]

Seriously, that dress reminds me of an overly, sickeningly sweet lollipop - the kind you only have to look at to make you sick to your stomach. :P And I have to say - I had way too much fun changing the color of the ribbon because I wanted to see how sickeningly sweet I could make it look. Try Tangelo or Jade or Ivory. *snickers*

I agree with smor - the runner up had potential to actually be the winner. The bustle takes the cake. I think if and when I get married, I might like a train for when I actually walk down the aisle, but then for the reception afterwards, have a detachable train so as to avoid the whole bustle issue entirely.

Ha ha...I'm going to have to go back tomorrow and play with the colors, definitely!

whereismysam September 22 2009, 20:43:09 UTC

Don't forget to try the pinks. Forgot to mention those ones too. ;P

Tangelo is totally the worst, though there are certainly some other awful choices. It leaves me speechless.

I was going to say, "Well, you've got your 'something blue' covered," until I realized that you can change the colors. This produced some giggling as each was more hideous than the last...
Though, honestly, the description had me in fits before I even clicked the link.

LMAO It's like it's trying to accent her belly. What woman in her right mind wants her belly accented?!?!?!

traceria September 23 2009, 13:23:33 UTC

Oh yeah, each one was worse than the one before it! Though, as mentioned in reply to wimsie's one comment, I do think Tangelo wins for most hideous. *shudder*

So true! I didn't even think about how much attention that would draw to the belly except to joke about the bikini style sans fabric in the middle.
