Classic sister

[@garotadagavea]

Dad: "Dammit!"😂😂😂

[@oldageisdumb]

I laughed

[@jeswainston]

That 8200 dress is gorgeous on her but yeah that price tag is too much.

[@penelope5500]

As someone who sews (not that I would want to attempt a wedding dress) I am sort of surprised by the cost of this dress. I would think it would be more in the $4,000 range. It is not difficult construction.

[@jeswainston]

@@penelope5500 it might be because of material.

[@agentsculder2451]

​You're also paying for the designer label in that dress. Reem Acra is a high fashion label. But I'm also guessing a big part of the cost is the material.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

@@agentsculder2451No, the labor is the highest cost along with the brand name.

[@catezaida8081]

My goodness! To look THAT stunning in a dress and then have Dad thanking you for letting him be a part of it all....how can you get any better than that?! You have such a lovely family!

[@JillStanley-wx6kl]

I preferred the first dress, but the important thing is that she loved the dress she chose and felt beautiful in it.

[@catladyfromky4142]

Me too. The neckline was stunning, the simple a line was beautiful for her figure, and the little bows on the back were just enough for interest. But the last one was ok too. Frankly I think that she could have picked any one of them. But the one she picked was over her budget 🤔.

[@Princess_Sani]

💯 I liked the first better. The bow and the 3rd dress looked a bit tacky.

[@sophiesto6122]

It looked like my dream dress from 1990. Still totally in love with the style.

[@serendipidus8482]

I mean it was not worth the money at all. Its a very simple vogue pattern dress for that money you would want handmade lace and wild pearls or gold thréad or something. Its just a ridiculous price for what it is.

[@paulabasso6153]

Dad said he felt that $6000 was his top price. I think it is unfair of a child to expect her dad to pay more than what the father felt was his top price. The bride should have paid the $2000 difference. It is a dress that is only worn once. This bride will need to learn to live within her means. Marriages fall apart when couples do not live within their means. Parents need to teach their children fiscal responsibility. They will be happier learning to live within their means. Study hard, learn to work hard and not spend money on frivolous things. Simple things can be fun too!

[@Tally-vision]

Yes. She could have paid for it herself if she hadn't destroyed her skin and her lymph system with truly ugly cheap tattoos.

[@lynnphillips8770]

Do you think money was most important to her father at that time? He cried when he saw his daughter in her wedding dress. Believe me, in this life, not only money is important.

[@kathyk2777]

Seeing her fun personality, she'll probably find a way to wear it again.

[@tld7846]

Yes, the bejeweled bows were pretty and unique, but the bustline just looked droopy and unstructured. IMO, the first dress looked much classier and fitted her better. For the price tag, maybe they could have bought the first dress and had a seamstress add a bedazzled bow?

[@catladyfromky4142]

I totally agree. The first one looked the best on her, and she came in thinking that she wanted a dress without bling. I don't think she needed it.

[@gardenplots283]

Or a sparkly veil.

These are sample sizes and will be altered

[@juniper9799]

[@Willowy13]

That bow was just childish. The first dreess was perfect, but it is just me.

[@RevLeigh55]

$2,200 more for that silly bow?! Just put a silver bow on one of the other less expensive dresses. Geeeez!

[@molly8336]

If you pick something more than the budget given then the bride needs to pay the difference

[@catladyfromky4142]

I totally agree. She looks like she's old enough to have a career, so there should be no reason why she can't chip in to pay for something that only she is going to wear. Once.

[@Amy.PCB.home.]

Great idea and practical. It did not look better for $3,000. More

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I agree and if the bride really wants something and it is too expensive, then she needs to chip in.

[@carmenfischermeringuemoon]

Yes! Thats what my daughter did. We had a budget and her dress was over. No stress involved in dress shopping because we had this discussion and budget was set.

[@kyliepechler]

Yes, that is how it should be. Sad to see that she didn't even offer to pay the difference.

[@Jo-yp8wy]

First is best. It flattered her and the contrast in style between the dress and her tats made the tats stand out beautifully.

[@Su-ri5ob]

The tattoos are awful, they'd make any dress look cheap and nasty.

[@Tally-vision]

​@@Su-ri5obCouldn't agree more. What on Earth possessed her to spend money on such cheap and crappy 'art'?

[@sharongeorge4096]

The first dress was beautiful, but not necessarily on her. She had no shape in the dress being on the smaller busted side. Maybe if she had worn a little enhancement in the bust line it would’ve fit her better.

[@LoriL010]

All three dresses were beautiful on her. She wouldn't have made the wrong decision no matter which one she chose.

It’s hard to understand why such a plain dress costs more than $8,000 to begin with. She could’ve gotten something similar for less than half the price elsewhere.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I agree and my friend had a very plain dress that was only $100 and it was very nice.

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

True, but your paying for the designer and also the store, if she had gone to a smaller less recognised shop and brought one that wasn't by a higher designer then it would have been a fraction of the price (some of the less noticeable designers do amazing dresses at a fraction of the cost)

[@serendipidus8482]

Because people will pay. They literally sell rubbish bags for 800 dollars to idiots with money. All those dresses were maybe 800 dollars worth of fabric and labour.

Her dress look so simple but elegant and touch of sweetheart vibes .

[@talkdtwo]

This felt like a perfect example of strong-arming. Dad said he didn't want to go above a specific price and was hesitant at that. Then the bride convinces the consultants to put her in a dress over $2K above that. This should not be cheered over by us watching. It's manipulation at its finest.

[@catladyfromky4142]

I kind of agree. She loved both of the other ones too. There is no reason to go over just to get the bling when she came in knowing that she didn't need it.

I LOVED the first one on her! It was elegant with the vintage flair and showcased her instead of her showcasing a dress. For my taste that bling bow was too much! Her bold lip, how she wears her hair, the color of her hair (black), her tattoos are all BOLD. So the simplicity of the dress allowed her to shine through better. She still will be beautiful. It's not an ugly dress, her pick, but lol. Still a first dress fan.

[@jennydrumm7223]

Loved the first dress, really liked the second dress, definitely did not like the third dress! To ME, the bows look kind of silly, and the skirt is too "poofed out", like... it balloons out from the waist. (I suck at describing what's in my head; if you could see my hands, I could show you what I mean, LOL!) And those straps... they would drive me crazy! In the front, they attach way to far back under the armpits, which would chafe, to me. Plus, it leaves a gap between the strap and the from of the armpit. (Again, if you could see my hands... ). And it causes the straps to try to slide off her shoulders; she was repositioning them a lot.

[@princ3sstofu]

The first dress really is a great hit though. I love the style on her so so much.

[@nancymckinley3068]

[@Mrspjb-bw1ks]

That dress isn't worth $8200.

[@Ifailedeverything]

Do you understand what amount work goes into a couture wedding gown? This isn’t some cheap polyester thing you can order from Shein. This is hand cut, measured to your exact body shape, fitted, hand embroidered and beaded from hem to bodice. It takes hours and hours of work not to mention that it’s made of silk. People are so used to going to Walmart, buying mass produced stuff that they wear a few times and throw away into Goodwill. If you pay 8K for a gown you will get a gown worth 8K.

My mom told me that when she found her wedding dress, it was very plain with a boat neck. It was a raw silk A-line and cost $600 in 1960. Her aunt who was a seamstress on Broadway shows, added a simple lace to the neckline and starburst Swarovski crystals on the skirt. I have her photos and she was a beautiful bride. Unfortunately she didn’t persevere it so it was ruined. But, truly, it was a gorgeous dress!
