Alright, let’s talk about them lacy weddin’ dresses, the ones they call “sheer lace wedding dresses”. You know, the kind that city girls like to wear, all see-through and whatnot. I seen some pictures, and lemme tell ya, some are right purdy, and some… well, some make you wonder if they forgot half the dress!
First off, what in the tarnation is a “sheer bottom” dress? Sounds like somethin’ a breeze could blow right off! But I guess it’s kinda like them old-timey petticoats, but fancier, you know? Lace all over the bottom part, showin’ off your legs. I ain’t got legs to show off no more, but if I was a young gal, maybe I’d give it a whirl. These dresses, they sometimes have them sleeves too, not the long kind that keep you warm in the winter, but the short ones, or the ones that stop ‘fore your wrist. They call ‘em “3/4 length sleeves,” I heard.
Then there’s them dresses with all them layers, like a fancy cake or somethin’. They call it “multi-layered,” I think. One dress underneath, see-through like, and then another one on top, all puffy and big like a princess. One fella I know, he said it looked like a flower explosion on a fish! Guess that’s what they call “mermaid cut” underneath and “ballgown” on top. City folks sure got a way with words, don’t they?
And don’t even get me started on them “sheer overlay” dresses. Head to toe see-through, they say. A little bit of lace on top, then a short little dress underneath, and then a big ol’ sheer thing over it all. Now, I ain’t no prude, but that seems a bit much, even for a weddin’. But I guess if you wanna be “chic and daring” like them magazines say, that’s the way to go. It’s like wearin’ a nightgown to church, only fancier and probably a whole lot more expensive.
- Lace is important, that’s what makes it a lace dress, see? It ain’t just any ol’ fabric.
- Sleeves or no sleeves, that’s up to you. But them sheer sleeves, they do look kinda purdy.
- Layers are fancy, but make sure you can walk in it! Don’t wanna be trippin’ on your way to say “I do.”
- Showin’ some leg ain’t a bad thing, but keep it classy, ya hear?
Some of these dresses, they got sparkly things on ’em too. “Crystallized net,” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d catch butterflies with, but it’s all shiny and glittery. Makes the dress look like it’s covered in dew drops, or maybe fairy dust. I reckon that’d catch the light real nice when you’re dancin’.
And then there’s them mermaid dresses. Tight fittin’ all the way down, then flarin’ out at the bottom. Supposed to show off your “curves,” they say. Well, I got curves alright, but I ain’t sure I wanna show ’em off in a dress that tight! But if you got it, flaunt it, I always say. These ones, they sometimes have them off-the-shoulder sleeves, and a neckline that looks like a heart. “Sweetheart neckline,” they call it. Sounds romantic, don’t it?
Now, I seen a picture of a dress with butterflies on it. Big ol’ butterflies, not real ones, of course, but they looked real enough. And the dress was almost see-through, they said it had a “bodysuit underlay.” That just means it’s got somethin’ underneath so you ain’t showin’ off everything, you know? It’s for the “bold bride,” they said, the one who ain’t afraid to show a little leg. Well, good for her, I say. Weddin’s are ‘sposed to be special, so why not wear somethin’ that makes you feel like a queen, or a butterfly, or whatever you wanna be.
So, if you’re plannin’ on gettin’ hitched and you want one of them sheer lace wedding dresses, you go right ahead. Just make sure you can move in it, and that you feel comfortable. And don’t forget to wear somethin’ underneath, ya hear? You don’t wanna be givin’ the preacher an eyeful! But most important thing is, you feel beautiful and happy on your special day. That’s all that really matters, whether your dress is sheer or not.
