The New York Times had an article this morning about how bridesmaid dresses are catching up with the runway and getting away from the frill, chills and spills of the past. You remember... the pink taffeta dress with the poofy sleeves. The way-too-tight I-need-a-tummy-tuck rayon jersey knee-length dress in emerald green. The strapless wonder that reminded the world that you had no boobs. All dresses, your friend the bride reminded you, that could be worn again in the real world. Yeah, right.
Now you can relive those dresses, and many more disasters, at a site called www.uglydress.com. The site comes complete with commentary and is sponsored by bachelorette.com. (Whoever they are.)
Still... I must confess... I wouldn't mind having a "Gone With The Wind" wedding or bridesmaid dress. I still like shoulder pads (all women should. Have you seen how droopy most women look?) And red velvet at a Christmas wedding with a white muff instead of flower
s still appeals to me.As for my daughter... when she gets married... there is no doubt in my mind that this will be the dress she chooses. Sadly, it is also featured on uglydress.com
Well... ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I would, however, have to draw the line at her wearing the white sequin Minnie Mouse ears with the dress. You have to have SOME set of standards.

Ciao Bella!
