this particular dress, while nice, had a couple things that bothered me. firstly, you might not be able to tell, but the thing was HUGE. the dress was extra long, as was the petticoat, which meant tons of extra fabric - so much so i could hardly walk. i guess if i had ultimately bought that dress, it would be hemmed and not so bad. but, i think i would still feel like i was swimming in fabric.
anyway, the second thing i didnt like, and am posting about, was the boobs. now, let me tell you something about wedding dresses that i was never told and that i was a little surprised by: some come with boobs. and we’re not talking padding, oh no. we’re talking wiring. this particular dress felt very…. 50s, in that its boobs were cartoonishly torpedo shaped.
a few of the dresses i tried came with boobs, and i was constantly poking and prodding at them. they’re made with some kind of wire or really hard material such that if you poked it down, it would pop back out. it was comical and i refused to get a dress with fake boobs. one of the dresses in particular, can’t remember which, was significantly bigger than my chest. while flattering, it’s unnecessary.
anyway. boobs. who knew?
