Today there is a trend in strapless
wedding gowns. Many brides tend to choose strapless gowns which the writer says
are usually unflattering. Nearly 75 percent of wedding gowns are strapless. The
editor of WeddingWire says that the “standard for wedding dresses…won’t change
anytime soon.” The writer brings up the question why strapless dresses are so
common. A design director for David’s Bridal, Dan Rentillo, says that women
think more conservative gowns make them look older and more old fashioned. They
want to wow everyone on their wedding day Rentillo hypothesizes. However there are
other factors to the strapless dress. Strapless dresses are easier to make. “Adding different necklines and sleeves lead
to more design challenges. It’s easy for [fashion designers] to design
strapless gowns all day long.” Kate Berry states. Strapless dresses are also
hard to pull off no matter what body type. Visible tan lines, skin that bunches
up around the armpits, and many other things cause the dress to be very unflattering.
The writer begins by chronicling her
adventures to find a wedding dress. She ended up finding a dress she liked but
it turned out to be a bridesmaid’s dress. She goes on to question why such
uniform and unflattering dresses are being made. Basically, it is to save time
and make more money without working too hard on the design. The purpose of this
article is more of the author’s thoughts and opinions on a certain style. She
started the story by telling of her personal experience. The author does inform
a bit on why there are so many dresses of this style.
