I don’t know about you, but I generally try not to channel Crusty the Clown when making fashion decisions…so quite why you’d want to go in for the pierrot look on your wedding day of all days is quite beyond me, and a question I’d ideally like to put to Pronovias Vintage who created this strangely-shaped outfit.
But what do you think? Vote after the jump.

Now, in principle I really want to like this dress. The roses nestling beneath the folded silk are a lovely idea that could work well done with a bit more subtlety, but subtle this dress is not. In fact, it even manages to make this lovely, willowy model look a bit bulky around the flanks, so imagining it on my own 5-foot-nothing frame is not an image I’d want to contemplate for long. But what do you think?

I always thought you were supposed to eat the cake, not impersonate it, but in this get-up, you’d be doing a pretty good job of edible fancy dress. In fact, you’d probably want to warn the caterers before making your entrance – just to avoid any confusion at the buffet. But what do you think?

For those of us who didn’t get a ticket to last week’s Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, here is Lacroix’s bridal offering for Spring Summer 2009. I’m thinking Frock Horror! Silver sleeves that look like tin foil, unflattering teepee silhouette, random pink corsages on the shoulders and a lace overlay that probably costs more than my flat. And just have a look at that veil! It’s over the top, no doubt horrifically expensive and almost unwearable. Fashion at it’s most extreme. God bless Lacroix and Couture Week!

To be fair, Chanel’s Spring/Summer show featured entirely white clothing so it was a bit hard to tell if any of it was supposed to be bridal or not. I think this is supposed to be bridalwear though, why else would it have a train? I’ve been trying to like the slim leg/ tunic combo but the dead albatross on the model’s head and that odd train is putting me right off.

Quite what is going on with this bridal outfit is anyone’s guess. Between the frock coat, shorts, bear hat and bowed stockings, it is something akin to a tragedy. But I’m glad they really went the whole hog by throwing in lace up blue shoes. Totally makes the outfit don’t you think? [via Ugly Dress]

Less fairytale and more nightmare with this dress. Sure it could have been a pretty 50′s inspired prom dress but designer Alice Padrul got out the scissors and gave it that scalloped hem instead. Oops.

This has to be some mad catwalk design never intended for use upon the poor, unsuspecting bride otherwise words fail me. The dress also gets a big F for fail. The headdress meanwhile gets a triple Z and gets sent straight to detention.

Due to that event called Christmas, I’m moved this feature up a couple of days so that none of us miss our weekly dose of ugh! Behold the wonky tutu. There’s nothing particularly pleasing about a dress that resembles ruffly baby pants crossed with a Judy Jetson dress then finished off with heels with ballet ribbons. Slightly bonkers, highly entertaining.

Isn’t this dress lovely? Now look down. You see it, don’t you? The garter that is so large it could actually be a lacy hoola hoop. How really very odd, unless you want to exercise during your wedding, which, again, is still quite odd.

A touch of plaid, a dash of tartan, by golly, what is going on here? Colour is great for gowns but sometimes, go to far and all you get is what really could be armchair upholstery.

I think we all know by know just how much I loathe this style of dress – the plunging lace-up corset, the organza skirt with glitter lace (glitter lace!) and the volumous tulle short at the front and long at the back. Still, it could be yours for £499 if you really must.
Last week, give a choice between ‘eek!’ or ‘eek eek!’ for the nightie dress, the respective categories garnered a 15% eek compared to a 85% eek eek. Excellent eeking!

I think Claire Pettibone’s designs are gorgeous, amazing and inspiring. Except this one. It’s not even passably nice. It’s not even a case of ‘whip that bow off, tuck that bit in and remove the daft skirt and it will be fine’. It’s just horrible. Do you agree?

This style might be trying to be angelic but I think it’s more of a nightmare. With a micro mini shift dress and huge ‘wings’ the look is already bad enough but add in an alabaster clown face – in direct contrast to the model’s legs – and you’ve got a look that couldn’t be further from heavenly.

Seeing as I mised last week’s Frock Horror due to a dodgy Internet connection, today I’m going to bring you two! First, I’ve got this ruffled mini dress. Bonkers, isn’t it? Who on earth would wear it?
Take your vote on this dress and check back later this afternoon for another horror.
