I like the copy better than the original. I gotta admit, at first glance it’s actually quite beautiful but now that I imagine someone actually *in* it, I don’t think it’ll look appealing at all. I love unique wedding dresses, but not this one.
Wouldn’t a sweetheart neckline be better as it would turn down the harshness of this dress?

I like the poofy skirt, but I’m tired of strapless bodice wedding dresses. Done to death. Plus, I don’t believe in clothes that defy gravity. Crazy glue, anyone?

Melanie,
I think the point of the whole scene in the movie was that it was too much – the bird in the hair, the biting makeup – it was part of what scared the husband away, I think.

I wouldn’t. It’s a construction, not clothing. The skirt is too foofy, and the bodice is so stiff that it does’t look like you’re actually wearing it so much as stuck somewhere in the middle of it.

I’m not a huge fan of it.
Its nice, but I want more than nice for a wedding dress.

To Bunbuns – The shorter one isn’t a knock off, they’re both designed by Vivienne Westwood.

If you’ve seen the film, the dress looks much better when she’s modelling it first (and has much more relaxed hair and make-up). The dress is big, but the way she wore it softened the overall look, and she looked really pretty.
I actually hated how she looked on her wedding day (in the film) … the blue bird stuck on her head, the harsh make-up, hair scraped back – it was unflattering and even a bit ageing.
I actually was let down by most of the clothes in the film TBH. I was expecting one big fashion perve, and it never eventuated.

At first I really liked it but it doesn’t look good at all on SJP. But as far as wedding dresses go, it should definitely be tried on personally to see what it is really like.
