Fuck the institution of marriage. If you bought anything from any store for any reason and the store just up and closed and didn’t give you the product you paid for, you would be upset too. The fact that these are wedding dresses which can cost a lot in time and money, is just icing on the overpriced fucked up cake.

Should use the median cost, not the average. The median cost is closer to $10k. Most weddings in America cost well under $10k.

Back and front!

Please upload a picture!

I say postpone the wedding.

Even if it is just a big party, all the attention is on the bride, and the photos will be there forever. Not to mention women are conditioned and groomed from birth to want it.

So only women buy 1000+ pieces of clothing?, sounds pretty misogynistic to me

Poor naïve Zoidberg. These dresses start at around $1,000. Most are more like $1,500.

i do not understand why people buy these expensive dresses that can only be used once.

You made your sister’s wedding dress?! That’s so cool!!! Do you have any pics you’d be willing to share?

Part of me laughed at your suggestion that the dresses would only be a few hundred dollars, but you are absolutely right here - the fact that people can spend so much time and money planning a party (while often spending a lot less time actually working through aligning their expectations of what marriage means with…

On their website, it looks like they top out at about $3k.

How expensive can some of these dresses be? If you’re out a few hundred bucks and some time, that sucks but it’s not a disaster.

 They don’t even wear them again. i do not understand why people buy these expensive dresses that can only be used once.  

Thousands? Holy waste of fucking money Batman! These wedding shops are fucking mental! No, seriously. They should be locked up in mental institutions for charging such outrageous prices for an item that will be used only once. This is pissing me off so much. Instead of buying a wedding dress, go to Disneyland. Or…

Weddings can so easily be boiled down to a microcosm of a lot of ills in this country. Weird patriarchal traditions, forced fun, rampant capitalism, overly-expensive one-time use dresses that are Made In China...

Theft is not an appropriate reason to call 911. Armed robbery in progress, yes. Theft? No.

I think their average price for this company is about $1200.

Multi-thousand dollar wedding dresses... Something something institution of marriage...

How expensive can some of these dresses be? If you’re out a few hundred bucks and some time, that sucks but it’s not a disaster. The groom fucking the maid of honor... now THAT would be a disaster.
