Real Bride vs. Model

[Liz&Cailen]

I heard there is a website that compares real people in dresses with the models from the websites. Does anyone know where this is?

I don't know the website, but I know a lot of the bridal sites have pictures of their dresses on real people. Clearly they're a little biased, but it might be something to look into...

Hi Liz!!!! :hug:

I thought we had a thread like this once upon a time... maybe it was on the former UW? If we don't have one, someone verify this (Jessica? anyone?) and I will help start one here! I LOVED that thread because it showed how very different and more beautiful the RL brides looked than the models!

[*Diane*]

It seems like, at UW, we had a Maggie thread that showed the model and then a real bride in the dress.... or I might be smoking crack......

[MsJessica07]

I think you're right. And I also think that starting that kind of thread is an AMAZING idea :)

[Raychel]

Well then, start it! :D

[Amanda&Hugo]

Yay!!! First!!!

Even though my wedding was a LONG time ago :)... I wore Alfred Sung Pure style 5161. I LOVED it. :sappy:

Here's the model:

PS: No, Diane, I don't think you're smoking crack. :giggle: (as if) I distinctly remember such a thread and we need it back! :)

[Raychel]

It looked better on you than the model :D

I don't think I can contribute to this thread b/c my dress never had a model pic, just a mannequin pic :giggle:

Y'all, there was a thread about real bride vs model because I remember posting in it, but now I can't find it :headscratch:

Um, I'll see if my model picture is still in photobucket, it's been awhile. I'll post it if I can find it!

ETA: Found it!

It's a David's Bridal dress, I don't remember the model number

Seriously, you are right, Raychel! :yesyes:

I agree too:thumbsup:

[Maria 05]

Actually some of the ladies would make better models than the models.

The dresses look stunning on the real brides

[*Ashley*]

You know, I told Michael the other day how I want to wear my dress again. He said if I hadn't preserved it, I could wear it to dinner, LOL. He's a nut.

You mean you don't put it on to do the housework?

Kayleen- you are so beautiful, much better than the model.

[nikkiscott]

I am just bumping this thread, cause I would like some of the new brides to post pictures of them vs the model pictures.
