Monique Lhuillier

One of my favorite wedding dress designers is Monique Lhuillier. I love some of her dresses. Love them. I almost love them enough to make me weep to my parents and throw a bridezilla hissy fit that I need them before I've even met the man of my dreams.

Well, not really. But I love them a lot.

This dress would look amazing on me, even though it is from several years ago.

Even though this dress looks a little wide (which is while I'll never wear it) I just love it. (And yes, Amsale has a similar dress.)

And this one, well, I love it, for no reason. I just love it.

I could probably even justify 11k on this bad boy

While I love Monique Lhuillier a great deal, I only love these dresses. Her other designs? They make me sad. They make me sad because a great and wonderful designer who designed the lovely frocks above has also designed the following, which I find unflattering, not women friendly at all (hello! boobies!) and just plain depressing.

Boobies? Where are we supposed to put you? You need a place to go... At least the dress incorporates an area for a very high third nipple. A nirple.

Boobies go up, not down. UP, I say!

This one looks like it's a brides greatest nightmare, having acid poured onto their dress so it begins to disintegrate.

This one looks just like I did playing dress up with my grandmother's clothing.

This is what would happen if I needed to make an entire gown in the clearance section of AC Moore. In 20 minutes.

This is similar to how my dress would look after it had been mauled by dogs.

Monique Lhuillier, please be consistent. Please make beautiful dresses. Not the ugly ones. Please.

so, here is my question, oh wise one. do people actually PURCHASE (for like, thousands of dollars) the bottom set of dresses? are they just for runway purposes? Cause I really can't imagine any of my friends buying those.

Oh god, I love my ML dress - it isn't shown in your pics but I am sure you would be pleased with it. It makes me look like a supermodel.

Her dresses cost major $$$ so I did what any smart girl would do: I bought it second hand... for less than 1/3 of the original price. Whoopee!! :)

Janet - At night, in my prayers, I pray that they don't.

Joke - Awesome move on the second hand dress! I'm sure it is gorgeous -- and I can't wait to see pictures.

Hi. Not sure how I got here...but I wanted to say that I ADORE the ivory gown. I would probably sell my own body parts to have that dress. LOL
