I think it's all about the demeanor of the bride wearing it -- and, to me, most women can't pull off wearing a strapless wedding dress. Jess is the exception to the rule.
She might pull it off. Not sure yet.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I spent way more than I could imagine spending on my dress, but my parents generously picked up the tab and it was just so perfect. And a large portion of the price in my case was the extensive fitting and tailoring that made it fit like a dream. My mother made my flower girl's dress and my sister's wedding dress, and she was very impressed with the seamstress work, so I think it was worth it.
Eta: It's now in a box in my closet.

(I had the train on my dress removed. It's in my closet right now, in case anyone wants a few feet of ivory silk satin.)

Anya certainly didn't.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Send me an email and I'll look for it when I get back from Chicago. (There's a chance I got rid of it when we moved, but if I still have it in the closet, it's yours.)

Errr....apologies to anyone I very likely offended with my strapless-dress prejudice and/or my damn-that's-a-lot-of-money prejudice.

MFNLaw's dress is strapless (if I remember right), she'll pull it off.

See, I just lumber through the thread like a smelly rhinocerous, managing to offend multiple people with one ignorant comment.
Sorry.

I tried on some strapless dresses. They all gave the impression that I had acres of exposed flesh between my neck and the dress. I don't think I'm one that could pull it off.
My friend that looked stunning in her strapless dress has suggested that we put on our wedding dresses, rent tuxes for our husbands and go out for dinner somewhere really fancy, see how much free stuff they give us. I don't think we actually can, though, since I borrowed her petticoat thing and neither of our dresses looks right without it.
