Fashion

Okay, ladies, my age may be showing but I can't understand the young women that want to be sexy on their wedding day.  We are talking about the bust hanging out.  I personally feel it is inappropriate to wear a dress like that into church or any house of worship.  I am watching "Say Yes to the Dress" and I cannot believe the dresses these women want.  If they want to flaunt their bodies then do it at the reception.  How do you feel about sexy bridal dresses?

I was just watching say Yes To The Dress this morning and I too was surprised at some of the dresses,  I said to my husband that I am glad I am not a bride of today as I would not feel comfortable wearing a strapless gown!

IMO my bridal gown was too low cut and I had the seamstress place a lace insert to cover any clevage that was showing!

I don't care for too much cleavage showing on wedding dresses. I don't think a bride should look like a streetwalker.

I'm at least 25 years away from becoming a fussy old lady, and I agree.

A church wedding is a religious ceremony. An overly revealing dress is distasteful for the ceremony. If a bride wants to dance half naked all night in the ballroom at the Marriott, fine. I think something more respectful in a house of worship is appropriate though.

And I'm completely over strapless wedding gowns. Unless you're built like a 12 year old boy, it's not flattering.

I don't think a woman's bust should be hanging out in any clothing.  I noticed a few celebrities at the recent award shows and it really took away from how pretty they looked, IMO.  Save it for your husband/partner/significant other in the privacy of your own home.  I am not a prude by any means, but just don't think it's ladylike to let it all hang out.

I don't think something like this is appropriate.

I think this bride looks elegant, but not "stuffy."

I agree. Leaves very little to the imagination. 

My dearly departed dad used to say that women were losing their "mystique". He passed away twenty years ago. I can only imagine what he'd say if he saw some of the fashions today!

In my opinion if you are being married on a beach, at a vineyard, at a ballroom, etc., you can be as sexy as you want.  But if you are getting married at a church it should not be your goal to look sexy.  Brides in a church wedding can certainly look elegant and beautiful.  The venue should determine what is appropriate.
