Possibly the ugliest prom dress ever? Come inside and feast your eyes!

Is it not wonderful that each tier has its own drawstring hem, just in case you want to puff up the volume?

Leaning tower of ass!

Haaaa. The picture loaded halfway, and I thought, well, that's not so bad (other than my dislike of white formal dresses for anything but weddings). I want to see what happens when tighten or loosen the drawstrings!

Somewhere, a Mexican restaurant is missing a tablecloth.

Oh lord. There's some other good ones at uglydress.com. And then there's this.

I love this one:

Ok, honey, now try to look shy, slutty, surprised, passive, aggressive, terrified, demonic, reluctant, and on the verge of rigamortis, all at the same time. Ok...something is missing....

I know...look like a tree!

OK!! You nailed it!

Maybe you can tie up the bottom and sleep in it like a sleeping bag at the end of the night?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 13:55
I wonder how much they pay these models.

I like that someone could look like a Mexican flag, a French flag, or a German flag. . .all by subtle changes of color.

Or maybe go to the prom as the Empire State Building on the 4th of July.

Ok, now you've got me looking at prom dresses online, great!

Eee!
Shiny!
Butt cleavage?
Ok, I actually kind of like this one.
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 14:02
Guess which one of your links I clicked first, TPS. Go on, guess.

It reminds me of candy we used to get when I was a kid:

I'm guessing...butt cleavage.
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 14:07
I was not disappointed.
posted by mike9322 23 April | 14:10
To give equal time to the guys, while the tux is nice, could the post be any more cheesy?

Ok, we need you to be deep in thought for this one, so give me pensive. I mean, really really really pensive. Pensiver than you've ever pensived before. Now put your finger on your cheek, which is the universal look for ultimate pensivisity.

OK NAILED IT!

She's so very neopolitan.

Not to mention the name "DeBora". The designer was clearly looking for a clever way to spice up her real name: Deborah. That's it -- it's sexy and cool!

Ok, look like a super cute lemon meringue pie. Like....the superest cutest lemoniest meringueiest pie EVER!

NAILED IT!

Awwww, that model WORKED that lemon meringue dress! Tyra would be proud! She's so cute!
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 14:18
It's a pity her hair looks like she styled with a weedwhacker, but yeah, that's pretty cavity-inducing.
posted by Specklet 23 April | 14:27
Is she wearing some sort of choker? Or is that her hair?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 14:38
I think it might be lemon zest ;P

Post more dresses! Post more dresses!

Teeps, I'm partial to this one:

This is beyond awesome.

Specklet's pic has a very "wicked stepmother" vibe to it.

The dress that doubles as a car wash! Spin, girl, SPIN!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Are the things on her hand attached to the dress, or are those separate?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 April | 15:09
Hee speck....that is monstrous.

I like the innocent look on this sweet girl's face, and her demure hair style.

You work it, red dress boob hanging out girl! I think the Lord gave me big breasts to keep me modest, because if I could rock something like that, I probably would. Just to say I had done it ;-P

Silver eyeshadow and gold dress = fashion don't!

I don't get the cut-out dresses- who feels good enough about their body to expose the fleshiest, poochiest part at the prom? Not me. Maybe someone who works out lots and lots- athletes? Who knows.

Ol' Zombie Arms models the God Bless America prom gown:

We are a nation of freaks, thank you, all, for reconfirming this knowledge.

Iconomy's last one of the flag dress reminds me of Snow White on patriotic crack.
posted by fenriq 23 April | 15:50
Something about the flag girl looks sort of familar. She must look like someone I used to know.

And the background kind of looks like Cypress Gardens in FL, where you can dress up like a Southern Belle. I always sort of wanted to :-(

now, seeing all these dresses makes me think of a couple things, in sequential order:

1. the people that make these are doing business somehow.
2. so someone must be buying them.
3. chances are, you can bet that the people guying these things all come from similar areas, if not the same area.
4. some proms must be like going to the fucking zoo.

God, women will wear anything to impress men, won't they?

I cannot believe no one has mentioned this one for the pregnant ladies. Or maybe you've just seen it already.

puke & cry's second link reminded me of the immortal words: "Look away! / Look away! / Look away! / Dixie Land!"

Yeah, seen that one. I've already decided it's what my bridesmaids will be wearing, preggo or not.

And they've already decided to convert the wedding into a funeral, needless to say. ;)

I shot a wedding where the female half of the wedding party was all in Southern Belle ball dresses right out of Gone with the Wind. All the more weird by the male half not matching and the wedding location of Canada.
