<p>I think Keisha was the one who said it ripped to shreads but I think it looked like that before she got into it, it was some sort of feather thing?</p>
<p>I am soooo happy to have the Kleinfeld’s crew back, however, I think it is insulting and unnecessary to have a show that focuses on the size of a woman. This show (SYTTD) is about BRIDES, and finding the perfect dress. It’s not about larger women.</p>
<p>I agree with SportsMama. The diversity of the clientele is what makes the show so interesting. All different races, religions, personalities, sizes, shapes, etc.-that’s what makes the show a winner. To focus on size only is creepy.</p>
<p>I think the episode is as a result of at least one of the other episodes showing a bride really upset that she couldn’t fit into a sample size. And I can almost guarantee that TLC got a lot of letters from women saying, “What do I do if I can’t fit into a 10 or 12 sample? Can I try on a dress that doesn’t look like Omar’s tent?”</p>
<p>Living in a house of males I rarely get an opportunity to watch show but now and then I find myself alone on Football friday night and I indulge. Have never seen the Atlanta shows, but one think I like is that they show real people, skinny girls, curvy girls, and now chunky girls…I thought it was a fun show. I think that’s why I like the What Not to Wear show which I did watch and kick the guys to a different room and TV…it showed all sorts of women of all sorts of sizes, heights, etc. Much better than today’s fashion mags.</p>
<p>Couldn’t find a thread about the Kleinfeld’s SYTTD but were you watching tonight? A 58 year old bride in a pink, see-through wedding gown? Really?</p>
<p>Worrywart, I saw that one a couple of weeks ago…guess she felt she had it to flaunt!</p>
<p>There is a more recent Say Yes thread SOMEWHERE…</p>
<p>I don’t get the see thru gowns at all, but that pink number on a 58 year old takes the cake. Very odd…</p>
<p>worrywart–YES I saw it! Couldnt believe it! When I saw the woman crying (friend? sister? I missed who she was), I understood. I’d be crying too.</p>
<p>I too wondered if those were tears of joy or of disbelief!</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Disbelief!! It WAS unbelievable.</p>
<p>Okay now I want to find that episode! Was it Atlanta or NYC?</p>
<p>Those Pnina dresses are so not for me. Have these people ever heard the word “understated?”</p>
<p>It was NYC! The Atlanta episodes disappoint, as do the episodes dedicated to big women.</p>
<p>Just watched it this morning - that pink Pnina on the 58 yr old was truly unbelievable! Either her friends are very loyal and good actresses, what with the gushing and the crying. etc., or they are as delusional as the bride!</p>
<p>Will someone explain how normal people with normal incomes justify paying more than $1K for a wedding gown? Seriously. I’m certain I could find a beautiful one for $500 or less. Then they spend another $50k for the wedding, and much more. Why? I think it’s nuts.</p>
<p>I really don’t have the “spending a lot of money to impress other people” gene. I hope my Ds don’t have it. We go to sort of a “society” church. Ross Perot’s daughter was married there. Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn were married there. Lots of non-famous ultra rich people have been married there. As a consequence, there is just nothing that hasn’t been done before, no amount of money to spend that hasn’t already been exceeded. I’m glad for the florists and dress shops that people are willing to spend huge amounts of money, but that’s not me.</p>
<p>As for the pink see through dress on the 58 year old. I was trying to imagine what I would say if one of my friends was re-marrying and came out in something like that and loved it. Could I really be honest and tell her how ridiculous (okay, Scary Cinderella-ish) she looked?</p>
<p>I loved the seamstress. “Your butterfly is showing.”</p>
<p>^^^Yes, that was terminology I hadn’t heard before.</p>
<p>I don’t understand that “gene” at all! And remember that when they talk about the budget being $2500 or $5000 or whatever, that DOES NOT INCLUDE the alterations, the headpiece, the veil or the special undergarments! </p>
<p>And then there’s the bride who said “No” to the $11,000 dress, and the parents convinced her to buy it! I calculated it out - six hours in the dress came to $1800 per hour!</p>
<p>I’m sorry. I love Randy, but when he said, there are other places to economize but not on the dress . . . You wear it for six hours, maybe seven. I can understand wanting a reception with a lot of people, food, dancing, etc. But I can’t understand spending thousands on a dress. Even a wedding dress.</p>
<p>Same. Personally, I rather have some great food to enjoy, a better honeymoon or some new furniture over an excessive dress!!!</p>
