Online Wedding Dresses That Arrived Looking Disasterous And We’re So So Sorry For These Brides

Imagine that it's your big day and you want everything to be perfect. So naturally, you hop on that strange website your Aunt's hairdresser told you about that sells their wedding dresses on the cheap next to their $2 eggbeaters. What you get in the mail isn't exactly what you want... actually, you're not sure if anyone really wants it.

That's what happened to these poor brides who tried to get a good dress and failed miserably. It just goes to show you that some things you need to actually go in and try on. Not egg beaters though, you're pretty much set with purchasing those online.

Adding One More Teal Neck Jewel Might've Saved It

After seeing this dress I don't have the need, the need for sleeves anymore. To be fair, this bride probably doesn't either since this dress is downright completely not what she asked for.

Don't Take "Mermaid Style Dress" This Far

This girl ordered a "mermaid-style" dress that showed up looking like two half-shells stuck onto her chest. I just have a couple of questions for the designers and I don't know if I can ask them without screaming.

This is a perfect match if you're simultaneously colorblind and really don't notice wrinkles and that luxe fabric on the model is replaced with weird cheap satiny stuff. Other than that, this is a perfect match.

What wedding dress designer is out here thinking that making a dress see-though is the way to go for that one day when you're surrounded by all of your extended family? Like, hey uncle Jim, haven't seen you in a decade but now we're bonded for life.

Nothing says wedding like a white piece of paper to wrap around your body. I'm sorry, maybe I missed the memo. Are dresses nowadays the new napkins because we're all tired of buying napkins?

Honestly, they shouldn't have sent anything at all. This dress is the version of itself after six months of hard drinking, two tax audits, and a month of dealing with a cat that keeps vomiting on the carpet every twenty minutes and you don't know why.

The Mother Of All Terrible Lace Jobs

This poor woman was done absolutely dirty by this chunky black lace that looks more like netting for a lunch lady's hair than flowers. This thing looks like it was just glued onto the pink papery fabric and I wish it all would've just gone into the trash with all the other arts and crafts projects.

Bridesmaid Or Background Extra On Little House On The Prairie?

This dress jumped out of bed, wrapped a lace ribbon around its waist, added a little on top, and then left the house to absolutely torment us. This ungodly thing looks like a period piece a pioneer-time war matron would wear when she's watching her thatched-roof cabin go down in flames during a midnight raid. It's bad.

This "tailored" dress makes me question why they even bothered to ask her to send in her measurements if all they were going to do was take a wild guess at what would fit. If nothing else, please just take out those snowball pancake cups.

You probably saw that commercial where they built a boat out of duct tape and thought "wow, this is the greatest thing duct tape will achieve." Well, you spoke too soon, because this beautiful gown's skirt is made almost entirely from the stuff. Incredible, I wonder what's next in tape's adventures?

Sparkles? You Mean Polka Dots Sweetie

These dress designers heard that sparkles and glitter were "classy" and "glamorous" and thought that any crazy girl who wanted those clearly hasn't heard about polka dots. Those beautiful little dots are like little stars sparkling in the night and traumatizing everyone's eyes.

This is another case where the designer heard you loud and clear but decided you just didn't know what's right for you. In this case, it was bodycon, paisley, and with an added scoop neck in the back because everyone loves a scoop.

Bad On The Hanger, Bad On The Bod

So the white wall behind that dress on the hanger clearly was doing a lot of work to obscure the fact that this thing is two circles and a belt, but that's just not going to work on a wedding day. You can't wear a white wall in between yourself and your dress, no matter how badly you want to hide in this number.

This photoshoot is equal parts iconic and hilarious. First of all, it ruthlessly shows how bad the dress actually is and second of all, it shows the dress the best it's ever going to look. If a professional team of stylists and photographers can't make this work, then customer service can't spin that one.

Did these designers really think that she wouldn't notice when her dress was missing a massive bow and it's covered in a slightly different design than those flowery vines? She's going to notice that her dress looks like an artist's interpretation of a nail clipping collection, like, there's no way she wouldn't.

There Was An Attempt

So yeah, like the overall shape is there and if you quickly blink while looking at it you're not going to notice any differences. But maybe when it's your wedding day and there's potentially hundreds of people staring at you for hours and taking photos, someone might notice that this dress is more of an impression that an exact.

Is This Even The Same Dress?

Halter Dress Sans Halter

The design of this dress is completely wrong. It was supposed to be a halter neckline that starts at the chest and leaves the back bare. Instead, this poor bride is left with some awkwardly cut sweetheart neck with two straps coming out at random places.

So Much For Lace And Bling

So much for a form-fitting dress up until the waist... Plus, they really cheaped out on the bling around the waist. That band is at least missing an inch across of bling. Not to mention the lace detail looks very tacky, comparatively.

Missing A Few Big Details

We're not even going to talk about the awful ruching layers on the dress because we really need to address the fact that it's entirely missing the black floral detail that was featured in the ad.

She'll Have Enough Flowers

She was going for a subtle hint of pink, but the universe, or rather the dressmakers, thought that it's her wedding day and she should strive to be the center of attention with neon pink.

They didn't, however, think that she deserved to have a real belt, which is how she ended up with that bedazzled replica.

Leave Something To The Imagination

However, its lack of shape and inability to be fitted like the picture leaves her body shape at least to the imagination.

Someone Keep The Scissors Away

The dress on the right looks like someone accidentally sent in the rough draft of the outline design of the dress and just went with it. The color is there, and so is the overall shape.

However, we're missing the corset, the jewels, the extra layers of fabric, and basically everything that made the dress pretty.
