Are there any photos of The Runaway Bride’s dresses? (I’m thinking antebellum).

Yes, the Peter Fox shoes are not so attractive. There are many of the horrible platforms.

However, I wore some simple ones for my wedding. The heel was low, and the comfort of the shoes was divine. Besides, with the long, heavy dress with the beads, no one looked at my happy feet.

Those Peter Fox shoes look like the platform sandals targeted towards teenage girls. As a grown woman, I don’t need my formal shoes to both jack up my height so much that I am taller than my date and be available as a weapon for stomping out roaches. I’m just saying.

Ayyyy! I took a look at the Peter Fox as a curious bride-to-be. Even the website itself oozes ugliness. I at the very least expected such offensive shoes to be in the “Payless” price range…but I was even MORE horrified when I clicked on a pair of uniquely awful white satin platforms and saw a price tag $305. What the ….? Who is this “Fox” and how dare he make women have expensively ugly clad feets on their special day!

When I was shopping for wedding shoes, a dear friend whose opinion I usually respect told me that Peter Fox had the best shoes. After perusing Mr. Fox’s offerings, I concluded that his philosophy must be that 1) brides want expensive shoes, and 2) no one is going to see the damn things anyway under that dress.

I have found a pair of truly revolutionary shoes. I believe the Hindus will be torching the designer of these desecrations, one Mr. Minelli, at any moment.

Go see and tell us if these are mob-worthy:

Actually? That girl’s face has been ’shopped, I’d bet a sawbuck on it. I visited that site a while ago, and the girl with the beer in the peach dress was a grinning redhead. Guess she didn’t want the bride to happen upon that picture.

Anyway, it’s a terrific site — I knew the Manolo would love it!

Goodness!

From the first pic I assumed the Ugly Dress site wasn’t solely about ugly bridesmaid dresses, but ugly bridesmaids as well.
