Shopbop vs. Etsy


Excuse my excitement but, have you seen this dress!!??!?!?!!!!!??!!!

How perfect would this be for a wedding inspired by The Great Gatsby and the like. And at only $640? It's like a unicorn!

cheers

*****

that is not a gatsby wedding gown.

THIS is a gatsby wedding gown.


now don't ever link me to a $640 dress that is 89% NYLON again, mkay?

    I <3 Shopbop for their 3 day international shipping if you spend over $100,( which, frankly, is pretty easy to do on that site), but in this instance, f#$k Shopbop.

    ick. About what I'd expect of a brand called "Nightcap Clothing."

    Shopbob-hatred aside, I like the first one better. It's like the Gatsby dress for people who actually wanna get laid on their wedding night.

    Awwww the writer-inner sounds dead sweet.

    But for a second there I thought you were posting the dress as a suggestion and had lost the goddamned plot.

    Didn't like it on Cup of Jo, don't like it here. But I agree with Joanna that it's more Jane Austen than F. Scott Fitzgerald.

    I hate the shopbop dress, and it is neither Jane Austen or F.Scott Fitzgerald.

    Both of those dresses are disgusting.

    I love the phrase "lost the goddamned plot."

    Man, that bottom dress is a hot mess. And that top one is a boring mess. How about we just put a moratorium on Gatsby-inspired wedding apparel? That book is depressing as all hell.

    @Emily Greene, you are correct. Touché.

    I kinda like the bottom dress. Remember the daughter in Gosford Park ? With her beautiful sulky face, and her giant triangle of hair ? I think it would baller on her.

    (She's probably 95 lbs sopping wet with shoes on, though ... yet another dress best on a skinny gal)

    Although I love "The Great Gatsby" as a lovely piece of literature, I agree with Kaitlyn about the really depressing nature of that book. Whatunion augers well following the mode of a book that ends on this line?

    "...So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

    It it truly one of the saddest lines, no?
