Here Comes the Bride, and She's Naked

I just got done reading an article about the new fashions in wedding dresses that the top names in fashion are showing this year. Apparently, it's haute-couture, with the emphasis on the "ho". The new motto is "less is more". Actually, less is just... well, less.
These wedding dresses leave nothing to the imagination. I believe in transparency in a relationship, but should the wedding dress be transparent? I cannot believe that your average bride would consider walking down the aisle in a sheer wedding dress. They are naked for all intents and purposes.
Seriously, who is going to buy these dresses? I mean, aside from exhibitionist celebrities who are all trying to out-nude each other at every awards show? For that matter, aside from these narcissistic celebs, does anyone buy and wear the wacky fashions that girls with arms and shoulders the thickness of coat hangers have draped over their famished frames as they strut down the catwalk?
As far as I am concerned, fashion designers are like practitioners of modern art. They have lasted far longer than they should have. They were a rebellion against tradition, a novelty. They filled the need for some people to feel they were avant-garde. They wanted to be admired for having the money to indulge in famously bad taste in attire.
But if no one but the very rich and egotistical buys these clothes, what is the point? Who is going to buy see-through wedding gowns?
What do you think? Should we just exile all fashion designers to some deserted island and go to the Levi's store?
The future of bridal design...

Should a bride opt to wear this I wonder what the groom's reaction would be. No man in his senses would ever want anyone else to see what would be his sole privilege.

If the people will buy these disgusting wedding dresses, let alone wear them, then the designers will keep making them and the stores will keep selling them. Can you imagine that a bride would want to walk down the aisle with her dad wearing a dress like that in front of hundreds of guests? What is our world coming to? Remember the Rudy G. topless swimsuits years ago? Another "hot" design. lol

It makes you wonder what kind of planet some of these so called designers are on. Clothes that are so impractical could you seriously see your self wearing some of these get ups. We had a stupid woman designer who designed clothes with a massive extra wadding on the rear. Who on earth wants to be seen to have a very large bottom? I can imagine your maiden aunt at your wedding reaching for her GTN spray and the rest of the spinsters reaching for the smelling salts!

@Rollo1 You're right! In our place, weddings are celebrated simply but happily. It's the gathering of relatives & friends of the bride & groom. We partake of a good food while getting to know each other. And our bride is so beautiful in her white gown, which brings smiles to her lucky groom! Ah, weddings!

See, this is what happens when you get fashion designers thinking about profit margin. They slap some tulle and lace on a piece of fishnet and call it high fashion so they can charge a few thousand times what was spent on the materials (or lack thereof, in this case).
Let's face it... the only thing high about those fashions was the designers' states of mind when they came up with the atrocities. They didn't even manage to make a single one of them remotely attractive. It's phenomenal how well they captured the essences of dowdy and frumpy in such skin-revealing packages. Did they get together, get drunk, and take bets on who could turn a piece of lingerie into the most unsexy thing on the planet? They all succeeded!

What's crazy is that there will be those foolish enough to want to wear it just because they read it was the new thing. Ridiculous.

My thought is that it is done to give us normal people something to talk about. I agree that you need to respect yourself and leave something to the imagination.
