A dress from Australian brand Grace Loves Lace is the most pinned wedding dress, according to Cosmopolitan. It’s been pinned a staggering 2.5 million times.  It's lovely, but... it just doesn't do it for me. What do you think? |

I love simple.. mine was even simpler but this looks messy. I think it may be the way it is modelled.

Meh for me. I don't hate it but to me it looks like a super long night gown.

It looks to me like that dress doesn't fit the model properly - it's much too big. I think it would be lovely if it was properly fitted.

I love simple.. mine was even simpler but this looks messy. I think it may be the way it is modelled. It's because it hasn't been altered for the model - it's too long for her. The model wouldn't be able to walk in it without stepping all over the skirt. ETA - And it's falling off her torso. It needs to be tightened from the bust to the waist so that it sits higher on her waist. Huh - I paid my way through university managing a bridal salon - I guess some things never leave you. |

I am not too impressed either. I like something with a little more structure to it.

I love the idea of it, but I feel like everything about that picture pulls downward. The model's posture, the top of the gown, the line of the skirt, her arms, it just all says "down" to me.
With a fuller top (strapless is not for me) and better fit it would be exactly my style.

It does remind me a nana nightie I'm afraid. Maybe if it fit the model better it would do it more justice.

I like the look but I wouldn't pin this one. It looks like it doesn't fit right. One good tug and she's naked.

Ha. I got married in the days of poofy shoulders and tulle underskirts so you looked like a white satin clad puff ball with a giant bow on your ass.
That dress is pretty, but needs a good seamstress.

Definitely meh. Even if it did fit the model properly, it's not a spectacular dress.

It's a ''meh" for me, but that may be because I'm old.  What really bothers me about the dress is it seems really loose on top, and the way it pools around her feet. There's no way that she could walk in that without tripping all over it. I'm guessing it would look a lot better if it was actually fitted to the model. Also interesting, is that it is a strapless dress. There was just a thread on here recently about how everybody was " way over" strapless dresses. But apparently the rest of the world is not. |

So we are universally "meh" so far. Who the heck is pinning this thing?!?

Meh. Not something I'd even consider, especially these days since it looks like it hangs too low in the boobage area. The top would be around my waist.

My guess is that many of the pins include stuff like "love the simplicity but needs to be more fitted" or "top like this, but less flowy bottom". |

I'm in the "it doesn't fit right" camp. Not my personal style preference anyway.

Not just Meh but no, it's a poor choice I think. I appreciate creativity and I don't see it there. I see another strapless dress with tons of fabric that only looks good when properly laid out. If you are planning to be an unapproachable statue at your wedding, it might work but if you actually want to move, give grandma a hug and dance, it doesn't work. While the lower part of the dress would conceal a less than perfect figure, you'd have to have the right amount on top to make the strapless work. So it's not practical or interesting.

I think it has more to do with the feeling the picture conjures than the actual dress. It is very ethereal.

It's not my taste at all, I think it's boring. I think I read, though, that it's not strapless, there are very thin straps that don't show up well in the picture.

I don't hate it but meh for me too. I am absolutely over strapless dresses. My DIL married my son 10 years ago wearing a strapless dress. 10 years! When has a fashion trend stayed around that long? ENOUGH ALREADY!

So we are universally "meh" so far. Who the heck is pinning this thing?!? I'd guess a lot of peas are older than the average bride looking at this. I'm not mad on it but the simple country style wedding is very popular and it sort of fits that look...ethereal, floaty, country meadow flowers... You're right that it doesn't fit her though 😊 |
