I had a strapless dress and I'm not the least offended, Tep. One of the things I didn't like was the expression on the model's face. Maybe that's petty, but brides should look happy, not pouty.
eta: my dress was $350 5 years ago. I wish I had a picture to show everyone. It was the One True Dress.
I'm just irked that you can't find a decent sleeved dress to save your life these days
I did. It took a lot of looking, but I found one.
Does that merit a nyah nyah nyah? I doubt it.
I should add, just to truly convey the horrible of strapless on me, a skeleton with really low-hanging breasts. To those of who you can wear strapless, how do you make it so your tits don't look really saggy? (Or maybe mine just are naturally low).
So, I am the proud possessor of a plane ticket, car rental reservation, and good explanation for why my invitation was so late. Bride apparently called me (I don't know when) on my cell phone. When are people going to realize that just because I have a cell phone doesn't mean they can reach me on it? Now I just have to decide if I want a date.

I am not sure yet how I will acheive non-saggy looking boobies. Specially being a DD and having breastfed a child. We shall see.
I wore a strapless dress when I was a bride's maid at my friend's wedding. It looked good. Of course, they gave me a built in bra that made me look way more busty than I actually am.

No problem. That's what a good bra is all about.

A good bustier + a well-tailored dress. Or a corset, if you want cleavage.
No problem. That's what a good bra is all about.
I've had difficulty in the past finding a good bra in my size that doesn't turn on itself after a few hours.
I'm so glad I went the way I did with my wedding. My mother made my dress, my ex wore his dress blues (he was a Marine) and we got married in a Unitarian Meeting House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The reception only cost my parents $300 (this was, of course, 27 years ago) for 30 people, the food was devine (a sit down dinner), the cake was small enough it got all eaten up and everyone had a great time.
I'm so grateful my daughter wants something similar, small and intimate. I offered to pony up $1500 for the reception and she was over the moon with gratefulness. Of course, this all depends on her current relationship lasting long enough for an actual marriage to occur.
I tried shopping for strapless last weekend, and left irritated beyond normal. The best luck I've had has been with the long line sort, but it's a bit much to toss one of those under a lingerie-style top.
