Whats you take on it? I have been searching and searching, mind you my wedding is on september 6th, so times a tickin! I cannot find a wedding dress that I love. The dresses that I love our prom dresses, or formal dresses. Is it weird to not wear a wedding dress on your wedding day :-o

    No one would know if you don't tell them. I think you should wear what you want and feel good in.

    I like #1. Who cares where you got it or the "purpose" of the dress (prom or wedding). If you found a dress at Target that you fell in love, then rock it! Have you tried on these dresses?

    I have not tried any of these on. Just trying to give a general idea of the look I am going for. Went to a bridal store today and tried on a few gowns and they just did not feel right at all Smiley sad even the ones that were more like these were still to, poofy...

    All 3 of those dresses are perfect. Looks like a wedding gown to me! I like the first two the best but that slit on #3 is hot!

    #1 I with everyone else as long as you don't tell it's not a wedding dress specifically who's gonna know? Wear what you love & can afford, that's what I'm going to do... Good luck with your choice!

    I LOVE #2!!! Sorry I am different. I think it looks so amazing. Classy, elegant and different from the norm. Wear what you like. No one will ever know.

    This is my second wedding and I tried on a few traditional wedding gowns, but I felt like a cupcake. I opted for an MOB gown instead.

    Wear what you feel good in.

    Wear what you are comfortable in. Any of those 3 could pass for a wedding dress and would be much eaier on the budget as well!

    I would never guess any of these weren't wedding dresses if you didn't tell me.

    #2 is my favorite.

    I would have had no idea those were prom dresses unless you had said so. I doubt anyone will notice or care so long as you look happy. Smiley smile
