Does anyone ever worry they'll look back on their dresses

Like we look back on 80's dresses?? I love when the 'pouf' of the sleeve is as big as the bride's HEAD.

SCARY.........

Lately simple seems to be key (classy & elegant)

Same goes for guy's tuxes...

no more powder blue w/ ruffled shirts!

I hope I don't hurt anyones feelings, because I really dont' mean too, but IMHO I never liked the brides wearing hats on their weddings. I always thought that was a little too much for someones head. But thats just my opinion.

Re: Does anyone ever worry they'll look back on their dresses

Yes, I totally worry about that. I think it's part of the reason that I went with a style that I have always liked, as opposed to what I liked from current magazines.

I remember when my sister was planning her wedding in 1988, there was a girl in the dress shop and I LOVED her gown. The sleeves were puffy near the top and tapered toward the bottom. Toward the bottom of the puffy section, there were strands of beads dangling. I thought that was the coolest thing. Now I could puke!!! They were gorgeous beads, but still. YUCK!

post a picture. I want to see who was more 1980s, me or her! But if she had puffy sleeves, she wins!

That's exactly why I don't expect my 'potential' daughter (that I don't even have yet!) to wear my dress.

I know some girls want to save their dress but in reality it's really just for souvenir.

Imagine if our mothers saved those dresses for US.

Okay 80's styke or not I don't think I would have liked those horrific looking dresses even back then. I think today's styles are more timeless and classic anyway.

My dress was rather trendy and it makes me wonder whether it is worth it to preserve it as I know my child will never wear it. However, had my mother's dress been preserved properly, I would have worn it. It was timeless. Looks like a Maggie though I don't think Maggie was born when they got married!

#1 My dress
#2 My mom's dress

OK, you know you're 80s when you have a sideways headpiece!

I just think that every generation thinks that their dresses are timeless. But, are they really?

Re: Does anyone ever worry they'll look back on their dresses

Those pics are great! I used to work with a girl who is stuck in the 80's and those pics made me think of her!
She must go through a can of Rave per week and she wears 80's style makeup, but God love her, she was a crazy girl.

Yes, the dangling headband is priceless!
