Just for fun. I was born in 71 so that will be apparent in what I post regarding what my “dream wedding dress” (or dresses) were when I was younger.
The ones most fantasized about:
The dress worn by Sarah in The Labyrinth, and whatever it was she had in her hair, I always wanted that too (the silver wire looking stuff)
The dress worn in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind. Scarlett’s “Prayer Dress”. Not a wedding dress, but I didn’t like the wedding dress she wore in the movie. I LOVED this one and totally imagined it as my wedding dress someday. I just assumed my eventual wedding dress would have a huge hoop skirt!

I was 10-ish, but okay. Julia Roberts’ dress in Runaway Bride. I thought the sleeves/whatevers were amazing.

@AmeliaBedelia: Ahh, I liked the “bell” dress from that movie. I actually almost bought one very much like it when i was dress shopping.

My dad was given a box of choclates and on the top of the box was an image of a man and a woman dancing a waltz or something. The woman was wearing this navy blue, natural waist, southern bell like dress… looked like taffeta…. it took my breathe away and it still does!!! I am still in love with the natural waist, very full skirt ball gown 🙂 Think scarlett O’hara 🙂 Perhaps not as full as the southern bell’s…my dad does need to fit beside me down the aisle!!

@stargurl101: LOL yes I can’t imagine if I had gone with a bigger skirt on my dress.. as it was I walked down the aisle alone and still knocked over our luminaries we’d placed at the ends of the pews, and thankfully they didn’t have real candles in them! 🙂

I always pictured a wedding dress that was soft, flowy and umpire waist. Like something out of a Jane Austen book. Something like this.

Cinderella”s dress! My favorite disney movie as a child. Even as I got older I always thought I wanted a big princess dress. Unfortunately at 5’2” I think I would have looked silly in a big princess ball gown

I was born in the 80’s. Mine was a silky sheath dress with a very low back (almost to my butt) and spaghetti straps that wrapped around my shoulders. I think it was pretty “a head” of my time because most people wanted really poufy dresses. I wish I could still wear a sheath dress but I’m not as comfortable with my body as I figured I would be when I was 12. I’m more curvy. However, suprisingly I did buy a mermaid fit.

I know this is a recent style, but I am young. My dress style changed completely though as my wedding dress was a semi a-line with sequence.
My dress, front view:
My dress, side view:
Ahhhh, where’d my words go? Anyways, I never had a “dream” dress but when we first got engaged and for a while I always wanted one like the first picture or a all lace form fitting gown. But then my style just changed as in what I liked and then what I liked on me, if that makes since! lol
