The Dress That Started it All


This dress has definitely launched the tea-length dreams of at least a thousand brides. Audrey Hepburn's wedding dress in Funny Face has it all, from the boat-neck bodice to the cap sleeves, to the poofy skirt that accentuates her tiny waist.

Fortunately, the 1950's style doesn't require a tiny waist-- it's flattering on many different body types. In fact, I'd say that it's a dress style that looks better on a curvier woman, since it tends to create that hourglass shape.

Speaking of, what is it with all these bridal ads with dresses hanging off of gaunt women who look pretty unimpressed about the whole business? Is it just me? What do the gals in bridevertisements have to look so depressed about?
