Ooooh! A strapless wedding dress! Something new and different for us!

I have been saying for years - YEARS - that I don’t really dig strapless wedding dresses. They’re so rarely flattering and so unlike any of the clothes you normally wear in which you actually look good, plus they seem one of the most obvious examples of zombie-wedding-planning (I AM MARRYING THEREFORE MUST WEAR A STRAPLESS DRESS). So imagine my delight when someone sent me this Jezebel piece (based on this Slate piece by Katherine Goldstein) on exactly that topic, covering all my points and making some even better ones. Dammit. Plus, they reveal what I’ve always suspected: that designers just push that shit because it’s easier for them.

Mean.
