[QUOTE]My issue with strapless gowns is that I've seen more that don't fit right than do. Nothing looks classier than walking around all day yanking your dress up - goes for brides AND bridesmaids.

Ditto this.

Steph, there are a lot of things on this post that are generalizations. Some bridemaids do look good in satin. And some aisle runners look really classy. And sometimes a traditional ceremony with a unity candle can be very beautiful and sentimental. There's no need to take offense. The point of the thread is that most people love some of the things a few of us don't. Most people love strapless dresses, but I don't for the reasons I stated. Sure, I've seen one or two that look good on the bride so yeah, it is a generalization. But as a whole, strapless dresses don't appeal to me and it's ok for me to have that opinion.

[QUOTE]So... why is it ok to call strapless dresses 'overdone'? This one bugs me, and not just because I had one. Attire is totally different then saying you odn't like favors or cupcakes, etc. Why are dresses with straps so much better? Genuinely curious. I don't think I look good in halter dresses or ones with straps, but I thought I looked good in my strapless dress. I'd never say I hated someone's dress with straps just because it's 'so traditional', so why hate strapless dresses because they're 'so modern'? That's not why I chose my dress. I can totally agree with thinking ill-fitting dresses are tacky, though. But not everyone with strapless dresses and big boobs walked around all day almost falling out. That's an asinine generalization.
Posted by Steph0871[/QUOTE]

So, first... this is intended to be a fun, harmless snarkfest... so calm the fudge down.

What makes dresses immune to expressing personal tastes? I can understand what you're saying about the idea that big chested women can't wear strapless (which I don't think was Kate's intention AT ALL) but people are allowed to dislike a style of dress or think it's overdone. And I'm sorry, if I was repeatedly pretty much turned away from stores because that's all they had and I didn't want it...? That's freaking overdone.

And yes, I do think that this notion that these dresses are not just trendy but somehow more 'classic' is going to make a lot of girls (and no, I'm not saying you're guilty of this) buy them because they're in style and easier to find... not because they actually look good on them. It's like the poofy shoulder in the 80s and 90s... I doubt that many brides actually liked that or actually thought it looked good on them... they just got them because they were trendy.

I think that, in 20 years, a lot of women are going to look back at their strapless-dress wedding photos and say "What the frig was I thinking? That looked terrible on me!"

Steph0871 · August 2011

I'm not getting defensive, honestly.

I'm just saying... there's a difference between saying you, in general, don't like aisle runners or dresses with color... and saying that you dno't like strapless dresses because they never fit right. That's a judgement on appearance, which isn't ok, in my opinion.

I think this could be said about probably every single dress, really. I think the point I'm trying to make is that... not everyone who wore a strapless dress did so just because it's 'trendy' or 'modern'.

ETA: the difference is that none of the other 'dislikes' in this thread were justified with such disgust from people. If everyone just said "oh, I don't like strapless dresses" just liek they said "I don't like aisle runners" or "I don't like cupcakes." it'd be different. But it was the statements that strapless dresses look horrible on people, girls with big boobs are always about to fall out of them, people only choose them because they're so modern and trendy, etc.

Steph0871 · August 2011

Also- I really don't see where I was all worked up, or what justified the comment that I should 'calm the fudge down'.

Seriously. I'm not all worked up. I've just seen this weird reasoning before, and I think it's a blanket judgement that really isn't fair. FTR- I'd defend this just as much if someone came on and said "I HATE dresses with straps. Ugh. people only do it because it's so classic."

maybe984 · August 2011

P.S. I don't dislike them because they're modern... I dislike the fact that bridal stores perpetuate this notion that strapless dresses are a more 'classic' bridal style (and yes, I have heard multiple people say this) when in reality, they've only been in-fashion for about 15 out of the past 100 years.

Posted by Steph0871[/QUOTE]

Honestly... you seemed a little overly defensive and yeah... you did seem worked up. Maybe it's just the fact that instead of playing along with the game you jumped right into argue-mode. Plus, from my personal experience, people typically only pull out the word "asinine" when they're really irked ;-)

No one said that EVERY bride looks terrible in a strapless dress... and Kate didn't say that every large chested woman has her boobs popping out of her dress. I can understand where you got that feeling, but it was still a bit of a cognitive leap from what she actually said.

Ditto this. It's for fun. Not to defend certain aspects.. just opinions. Okay so enough of that! What else do you girls hate that everyone else loves? LOL.

Here's another of mine:
I know everyone loves traditional weddings in a place of worship but I dislike them. (notice, not hate! lol) I really like outdoor/more casual weddings! It's just me but there are so many restrictions with church/synogogue weddings that it can be tricky to see personality in a ceremony and have it be really about the couple. *Not all the time... but often times. I love seeing creativity with settings and having culture and beliefs brought into outdoor or on-location weddings They're just stunning IMO. :) just my opinion! (I know that many vendors agree on this notion and that may be why I'm biased!) lol.

I agree with this. I guess because I fit the bill of someone who may fall into this category. However, I realize I'm probably just freaking out becuase I hate wearing dresses (I would rather be wearing pants to get married) so I already have this great fear that I'm going to look terrible, so the fact that so many people have this opinions is making me nervous. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

And FTR I not upset, but like Steph said people were simply stating things they dislike in weddings. If someone doesn't like strapless dresses, whatever, but when people start making digs at the brides that wear them is what upsets me. Mainly because I fear I will be one of them.

beka0404 · August 2011

I don't like your wedding.

Bwah ha ha!

Sorry. This thread is getting way too serious.

My personal dislikes:

- Mustaches (gawd, quit trying to be a hipster)

- Tiaras (you're a princess and it's your special day, we get it)

- Head tables (mostly because watching other people eat skeeves me out)

- Bouquet toss/garter toss (what up, single lepers? Spotlight's on you!)

- Putting all of your attendants in the same dress, especially if it's the ubiquitous strapless satin wrap-waist a-line dress from David's Bridal that I've seen at over 70% of weddings I've attended in the last 5 years

But hey, to each their own. After all, I stuffed my G-cups into a strapless dress for my church wedding with an all-white bouquet.

Thank you, beka0404! That needed to be said.

I was hoping for levity with this thread... but accidentally we tripped and fumbled into a debate. I can't say I'm 100% surprised.

I'm quite sure no one meant any harm or offense towards women who wore strapless dresses, big-busted or not. And, if they did, I want to point out again (for good measure!) that I said nothing of the sort :-). I was just irritated by the fact that I was treated like I was WEIRD for wanting something other than a strapless dress (ironically, the actual base of my dress, underneath the lace jacket overlay, was a strapless a-line... which I wore by itself for much of the night.... AND I'm a 38DD with big arms and issues with backfat... but I still looked awesome.)

Also, I served cupcakes, and they were fantastic, dammit!

I think SuperRN said it better- it was more the fact that people were digging on the brides who wear those dresses. Like I said, had it just been "I don't like strapless dresses", that's one thing. But when it's followed with the reasonings (that all attack the person wearing the dress), it's different.

And Maybe- did you really thing a thread like this wouldn't start a debate of some kind? The premise is talking about what common occurances you hate about weddings. ;)

Nope. Not at all actually. Like I said- I'm commenting on the dress not the people wearing them. I just said that even on gorgeous women, the dress looks like crap. I didn't say "Ohmygod. Everyone who wears a pnina dress looks like a hooker. They're only buying those dresses because they're SUPER POPULAR right now."

I'm seriously baffled that people can't see the difference.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I know everyone loves _______, but I hate it! : Nope. Not at all actually. Like I said- I'm commenting on the dress not the people wearing them. I just said that even on gorgeous women, the dress looks like crap. I didn't say "Ohmygod. Everyone who wears a pnina dress looks like a hooker. They're only buying those dresses because they're SUPER POPULAR right now." I'm seriously baffled that people can't see the difference.

Why can't we see the difference? Because honestly, there isn't one.

If someone had said "Ohmygawd... I hate when curvy girls wear strapless dresses because their boobs ALWAYS look like they're going to jump out of the dress." I could see how someone could find that offensive, because, as you've said, the chances of a strapless dress fitting someone poorly are roughly equal to that of any other dress (but, let's admit, strapless things are a little more prone to wardrobe malfunctions... for everyone...) and no one should assume that any dress type will inevitably look terrible on a given body type.

However, I don't see how saying someone will look "like crap" in their dress is any worse than saying the dress is slutty and has the potential to make someone look like a prositute. I'm sorry, if I can see your navel on your wedding day, you look like a frigging prositute. I am in no way saying "If you wear a Pnina dress, YOU ARE a slutty prostitute." Just like you're not saying that they have ugly, crappy bodies just because you are saying they'll look like crap in a Pnina dress.

Also, what's so personally offensive about saying that someone bought a dress because it's popular? All I was saying is that it's difficult for brides to even FIND anything else... and even if they do they may cave to the pressure of "Well, everyone else wears strapless so I should too" and not even explore other options because it's a PITA to even find other options.

[QUOTE]I have a couple - "Butt" veils where the veil sticks out of the bottom of a hairdo close to the nape of the neck. I don't get the point. Why bother with a veil?! Color on gowns - not a fan personally which is why I didn't have it. Don't care if other people like it, I just don't. Non assigned tables. BYOB - yes, we're invited to a wedding that is BYOB. Favors with the couple's name or wedding date on it. And gifts for your attendants that are given as a single item when they should be a set. Drives me crazy. What the heck am I going to do with a single wine glass or a single beer mug that doesn't match anything else I own - especially if it is engraved with the wedding date or couple's name (see above) besides promptly donate it?

These are all awesome, and hilarious!! So, what was the BYOB wedding like? It some ways it sounds like it could have been really fun if it was a totally casual, laid-back atmosphere.

[QUOTE]I'm not getting defensive, honestly. I'm just saying... there's a difference between saying you, in general, don't like aisle runners or dresses with color... and saying that you dno't like strapless dresses because they never fit right. That's a judgement on appearance, which isn't ok, in my opinion.

Please, don't take the comments here personally. Everybody likes different things, and with so many different body types out there, not everybody looks good in the same dress style. And thank goodness, if we all loved the same things everybody's wedding would be exactly the same!

Please be confident in the decisions you made for your wedding. I'm certain you chose the things that you loved and that they were excellent choices!!
