Online Wedding Dresses That Arrived Looking Disasterous And We’re So So Sorry For These Brides
Imagine that it's your big day and you want everything to be perfect. So naturally, you hop on that strange website your Aunt's hairdresser told you about that sells their wedding dresses on the cheap next to their $2 eggbeaters. What you get in the mail isn't exactly what you want... actually, you're not sure if anyone really wants it.
That's what happened to these poor brides who tried to get a good dress and failed miserably. It just goes to show you that some things you need to actually go in and try on. Not egg beaters though, you're pretty much set with purchasing those online.
Adding One More Teal Neck Jewel Might've Saved It
After seeing this dress I don't have the need, the need for sleeves anymore. To be fair, this bride probably doesn't either since this dress is downright completely not what she asked for.
Don't Take "Mermaid Style Dress" This Far
This girl ordered a "mermaid-style" dress that showed up looking like two half-shells stuck onto her chest. I just have a couple of questions for the designers and I don't know if I can ask them without screaming.
The Exact Same Dress If You Can't See
This is a perfect match if you're simultaneously colorblind and really don't notice wrinkles and that luxe fabric on the model is replaced with weird cheap satiny stuff. Other than that, this is a perfect match.
See-Through To Give The Back Row Where Your Great Aunt Is Sitting A Show
What wedding dress designer is out here thinking that making a dress see-though is the way to go for that one day when you're surrounded by all of your extended family? Like, hey uncle Jim, haven't seen you in a decade but now we're bonded for life.
Ah Yes, Paper
Nothing says wedding like a white piece of paper to wrap around your body. I'm sorry, maybe I missed the memo. Are dresses nowadays the new napkins because we're all tired of buying napkins?
She Broke Out The Selfie Stick So You Know She's Pissed
This dress is a crime against humanity. The makers could've easily made the top stretchy or form-fitting in the slightest like it is on the picture, but no. They'd rather watch the world burn.
In What World Is This Okay
Honestly, they shouldn't have sent anything at all. This dress is the version of itself after six months of hard drinking, two tax audits, and a month of dealing with a cat that keeps vomiting on the carpet every twenty minutes and you don't know why.
The Mother Of All Terrible Lace Jobs
This poor woman was done absolutely dirty by this chunky black lace that looks more like netting for a lunch lady's hair than flowers. This thing looks like it was just glued onto the pink papery fabric and I wish it all would've just gone into the trash with all the other arts and crafts projects.
Bridesmaid Or Background Extra On Little House On The Prairie?
This dress jumped out of bed, wrapped a lace ribbon around its waist, added a little on top, and then left the house to absolutely torment us. This ungodly thing looks like a period piece a pioneer-time war matron would wear when she's watching her thatched-roof cabin go down in flames during a midnight raid. It's bad.
Dress Or Belted Romper And Tissue Paper?
We all love a good romper, just not when it's our wedding day and we order a pretty dress that's definitely not a romper. Is that fair? I feel like that's fair.
Excellent Tailoring If You're Not That Person
This "tailored" dress makes me question why they even bothered to ask her to send in her measurements if all they were going to do was take a wild guess at what would fit. If nothing else, please just take out those snowball pancake cups.
From The Runway, Right Into Your Nightmares
Kudos goes out to this girl for smiling while she takes this photo because I know what I'd be doing. I'd be crying, screaming, and wrapping that dress up in a box with the tissue paper it came with. Oh, that's the skirt?
Just Everything Is Off
This is one of those where the makers decided that they would "make" the dress, but just use the absolute cheapest material available to them. Oh, your mom is moving and she's putting her curtains out by the curb? Perrrrrfect.
Duct Tape: Now For Clothing
You probably saw that commercial where they built a boat out of duct tape and thought "wow, this is the greatest thing duct tape will achieve." Well, you spoke too soon, because this beautiful gown's skirt is made almost entirely from the stuff. Incredible, I wonder what's next in tape's adventures?
They're Wearing Their Birthday Suits
Because of the height of the bench, these poor ladies look completely naked from behind.
If only they had better posture and were sitting up just a little bit straighter...
Sparkles? You Mean Polka Dots Sweetie
These dress designers heard that sparkles and glitter were "classy" and "glamorous" and thought that any crazy girl who wanted those clearly hasn't heard about polka dots. Those beautiful little dots are like little stars sparkling in the night and traumatizing everyone's eyes.
Baby Got Back And Hopefully Her Money Too
This is another case where the designer heard you loud and clear but decided you just didn't know what's right for you. In this case, it was bodycon, paisley, and with an added scoop neck in the back because everyone loves a scoop.
Bad On The Hanger, Bad On The Bod
So the white wall behind that dress on the hanger clearly was doing a lot of work to obscure the fact that this thing is two circles and a belt, but that's just not going to work on a wedding day. You can't wear a white wall in between yourself and your dress, no matter how badly you want to hide in this number.
It's Like Floods... But In A Dress
This photoshoot is equal parts iconic and hilarious. First of all, it ruthlessly shows how bad the dress actually is and second of all, it shows the dress the best it's ever going to look. If a professional team of stylists and photographers can't make this work, then customer service can't spin that one.
Fingernails. It's Covered In Fingernails.
Did these designers really think that she wouldn't notice when her dress was missing a massive bow and it's covered in a slightly different design than those flowery vines? She's going to notice that her dress looks like an artist's interpretation of a nail clipping collection, like, there's no way she wouldn't.
There Was An Attempt
So yeah, like the overall shape is there and if you quickly blink while looking at it you're not going to notice any differences. But maybe when it's your wedding day and there's potentially hundreds of people staring at you for hours and taking photos, someone might notice that this dress is more of an impression that an exact.
Is This Even The Same Dress?
What was meant to be a nice, floor-length soirée dress turned out to be a bridal dress meant for someone no taller than five inches. It might make for a nice gift for a pre-teen girl.
Halter Dress Sans Halter
The design of this dress is completely wrong. It was supposed to be a halter neckline that starts at the chest and leaves the back bare. Instead, this poor bride is left with some awkwardly cut sweetheart neck with two straps coming out at random places.
Wrapped Like A Gift
While the picture on the right gives the impression that the dress comes with an elegant satin bow to tie all together, the real dress looks more like someone slapped a bow at the center of the dress at the end for good luck.
So Much For Lace And Bling
So much for a form-fitting dress up until the waist... Plus, they really cheaped out on the bling around the waist. That band is at least missing an inch across of bling. Not to mention the lace detail looks very tacky, comparatively.
Missing A Few Big Details
We're not even going to talk about the awful ruching layers on the dress because we really need to address the fact that it's entirely missing the black floral detail that was featured in the ad.
Might Be Fun A DIY Project
This dress is missing at least 50% of its rhinestones. On the bright side, it could make a fun project for the bride, who doesn't already have enough on her plate, to place the missing rhinestones one by one herself.
Missing A Few Inches
Not only does this dress look nothing like the one in the ad from the shoulders down, but the bottom of it is the worst. It doesn't even touch the floor!
What She Wanted V.S. What She Got
This Twitter user was so excited for the prom dress that she ordered online, but sadly it was completely see through.
Moral of the story — ordering online is always a gamble, no matter what you're buying.
She'll Have Enough Flowers
It's unclear whether the designer figured the bride might have enough floral arrangements around her wedding and bouquet that she might not notice that her dress is missing at least half of the advertised floral ornaments?
From "Bride" To "Mother Of The Bride"
Only one of these dresses looks like a bridal dress. Why would they think giving the dress a blue tint and longer sleeves is a good idea? It would make a much better fit for the mother of the bride.
See-Through For The Legs To Breathe
So much about this bridesmaid's dress is wrong. From the awkward sizing to the tight neckline, the see-through skirt, and the thinned satin belt...
Someone get this poor woman a refund.
So Much For Soft Pastels
She was going for a subtle hint of pink, but the universe, or rather the dressmakers, thought that it's her wedding day and she should strive to be the center of attention with neon pink.
They didn't, however, think that she deserved to have a real belt, which is how she ended up with that bedazzled replica.
Leave Something To The Imagination
This dress was meant to be a happy medium between sexy and classy. Instead, she received a dress that leaves little to the imagination with it basically being see-through.
However, its lack of shape and inability to be fitted like the picture leaves her body shape at least to the imagination.
Someone Keep The Scissors Away
This dress looks like someone made it full length to start, then realized that wasn't what was ordered.
So, in their panic, they took the closest pair of scissors and just cut a rectangle out of it and hoped that no one would notice.
Carrie Would Be Disappointed
If Carrie from Sex and City could see what happened to her couture wedding dress on the right, she would be the one running away from Mr. Big on their wedding day.
There was an attempt at layering, but that's about it.
A Cut-Out Curtain
Lace dresses are really tricky. There's such a fine line between it looking delicate and classy and like someone cut out a tablecloth and wore it.
On the left, we have delicate and classy, while on the right, we have tablecloth or curtains. You pick.
Oversized Dress To Cover Sunburns
This dress looks like it would make for the perfect beach wedding attire. Especially since the bride is already suffering from a sunburn on her chest anyway.
It's unclear if the measurements are simply off or if the dress just has no shape.
Forgot A Few Details
The dress on the right looks like someone accidentally sent in the rough draft of the outline design of the dress and just went with it. The color is there, and so is the overall shape.
However, we're missing the corset, the jewels, the extra layers of fabric, and basically everything that made the dress pretty.
Wedding Dress With A Side Of Blue Stains
Instead of adding another layer of fabric to give the dress that royal blue accent, the dress she received looked like someone took the entire dress and dipped it in blue paint just on the sides.
It went from elegant to medieval costume from the local Halloween popup real quick.
Missed A Few Layers
This isn't the kind of dress you want to put through shipping anyway. That was the first mistake.
There's just no way you could keep its puffiness and protect its details. Ladies, just go shopping for your dresses in person.
Ran Out Of White Fabric
You can only assume that somehow the company making this wedding dress ran out of white fabric, the most universal color for wedding dresses, and had to improvise.
Although the blue is quite subtle, there's no way it could go unnoticed.
