[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than the price tag (which I think is obscene for a dress of this fabric and construction), it's a cute dress for parties.  But I'm not sure it works for family photos.  Ask yourself if you're going to look laughably dated when you look at the pictures in 25 years.  The other dress is more timeless.  [/quote]

I think this is good advice. The dress is sort of trend right now but will likely not age well.[/quote]

Who needs it to age well or be timeless? It's so much more fun to see pictures of parents and grandparents wearing the outfits of their day - than some safe boring choice designed to be as unmemorable as possible. That's what I think anyway! This picture doesn't have to not age like Dorian Gray, does it?[/quote]

I agree!  When I look at old family photos, and see people wearing things that are SO 70s or 60s or whatever, I think those people look like fun!  A photo is a time capsule, let it represent the time.[/quote]

Agreed. My DH was so stressed about our wedding attire for this reason -- he kept saying he didn't want our wedding photos to look silly to our kids 40 years later. I was like "90% of the point of wedding photos is for your kids to look at them later and think wow, you guys look silly! And for us to look at them and remember instantly who young and dumb we were."

I love the idea of looking back at 2021 holiday photos and thinking "Ah, remember how gleeful we were to put on a dress and hug our relatives and just celebrate a normal holiday? I really did it up that year!" Not "wow, classic dress -- this photo could have been taken anytime in the last half century." [/quote]
