Would this be my +1?

If I wore this dress to the wedding, would it be my +1?



I don’t think anyone would notice my apple-y shape!

From yesterday’s NYT article on the Paris Fashion Shows. IIRC this is Robert Wun.

    That is just creepy and it looks like the model is being attacked. Not a good look.

    Oh, geez. I just noticed the length of her nails! Defensive weapons?

    I don't call that fashion at all. Anyone could use there imagination to create weird costumes like this-which is what it is-a costume, not fashion-big difference.

    Bb, no! You don’t want to upstage the bride.

    Ooh la la - wearing red to a wedding? 😄

    And the gown itself is classically gorgeous - I imagine that 'accessory' is for runway drama and doesn't necessarily come with it.

    Jilly, I’d loan her my +1 for one of the dances.

    I wonder if she knew what she was signing up for when as a young girl she said 'I want to be a model'.

    Did the NYT show the red splattered dress? It's worse, imo. It's a shame because some of the dresses are gorgeous but overshadowed by the "art". There are also a lot of weird arm embellishments in that show. And umbrella hats. And creepy masks.

    I don’t see a picture of a red splattered dress. I could probably DIY that one by cooking a pot of spaghetti gravy!



    This looks like a petulant child in a diaper and sailor hat to me.



    I like the turquoise dress to the far right. It looks fairly classic. Of course, it doesn’t get the same level of attention as the weird stuff.

    My friend's son is a successful runway and print model so I often plunk around looking at some wild shows. He's not in this but has worn some uncomfortable and crazy things. And does not complain one bit. He gets paid a lot of money!

    ...and not an attractive model at all.

    I think your potential +1 looks a little clingy. I think you can do better. :)

    Maddielee, 🤣🤣🤣

    bbstx, if you need a +1 to hold up the front of the dress, you picked the wrong dress.

    A few more of ‘the latest in mens fashion‘ to give you more laughs. Those shoes in the last one….🤦🏻‍♀️

    That man's bag in the second photo reminds me of when I used to wear plastic bathtub toys as jewelry in San Francisco in the 1970s. I also made a lot of my own clothes back then as well, and I did play around with pant leg dimensions.

    I would not recommend wearing the red dress to a wedding mainly because it is red, but also having a train makes it too dramatic and attention getting. I love the dress, but not for a guest at a wedding.

    My BIL's first wife (who was from Japan) would wear elaborate kimonos to weddings, but she really did want to get most of the attention.

    I watched Bette Davis in Jezebel last night...all because she wore a red dress to the ball instead of a white one...
