To see this in action, watch a show called “Say Yes to the Dress” a reality show featuring women shopping for wedding dresses. I would say 10% look pretty good, the rest comme ci comme ca to horrible. All receive glowing praise about their looks, though, from the salespeople and family members alike. Sadly, you will also notice that all the dresses are strapless and most lace up the back, which allows them to fit on almost any figure, regardless of pre-wedding weight loss or weight gain. Shoulders are the hardest thing to tailor well, so they’ve just gotten rid of them. Many look as though the dress is going to give out before the end of the evening . . .
