'Picky Princess' Struggles To Find The Perfect 1920s Inspired Dress | Say Yes To The Dress UK 

I think this is a case of a bride fixating on the 1920s without realizing she doesn't actually like 1920s style.

I'm starting to wonder if people know what was in style in the 1920's, because a fitted waist, floor length mermaid isn't it. 1920's brides would opt for a straight sillhouette, drop waist, and hemline that wouldn't go above the knee, but never floor length, Juliette Cap style, and very lengthy veil. Edit: So many fashion historians in the comment section, though. Love that for us, and see you all in another Karolina Żebrowska video lol.

I don’t like them speaking of a picky bride . She’s not , she simply has not yet found anything she feels right in . All that ‘ picky bride’ stuff strikes me as arrogant . That chap Gok is the only one who is not offensive, he’s so kind and helpful .

I think the problem when brides mention one decade they feel inspired by, what they generally mean is the Hollywood take on the decade, and not the actual style of the time, so I think it would have been great for the consultants to ask a bit more about the shapes and fabrics she likes and not focus so much on the 20's elegance tagline.

This woman does NOT know what a 1920s silhouette is. The dress she chose is gorgeous, but definitely not 1920s. Which is fine, but when she kept insisting on 1920s and hating all of the 1920s dress and David called her out on it, she said she isn't confused. She isn't "picky", just misguided in her historical fashion.

She wasn't picky. She knew what she wanted and was explaining it perfectly. The dress she picked fit her description to the T. Way to go for searching until you found what YOU were looking for!

The bride looks like the actress who plays Downton Abbey’s Edith Crawley.

Please SYTTD stop calling brides picky! This is the ONLY industry where shopping around is frowned upon.

She wanted to look more grown up. The last gown does that beautifully.

The problem is that she has no idea what a 1920s shape is. The first dress was closest to a 20s style, but even that had too much shape. She wanted something more along the lines of 1940s or 1950s: nipped in waist, sleek and hourglassy with that Hollywood starlet red carpet shape. There is nothing 20s in that vision. 😂

If she really wanted a 1920s vibe these first dress was much the best. But a real 20s style would have been straight, heavily beaded, and not quite ankle length.

I loved the first dress. It was the most 20s dress of the three and very glamourous.

She looked great in all of them. She picked the right dress though.

It's so tedious to hear women called "picky" when they're not thrilled with dropping a month's rent (or more) on a dress that vaguely meets the description they've asked for. Now, if you want to argue that wedding dresses aren't the end of the world and plenty of women throughout history got married in their best outfit, I'm with you. Probably not the energy to take to work if your job is to part women from their money for the 'perfect' dress.

i’m so tired of them asking what their fiancée wants to see them in first, it’s the bride’s dress not theirs! Maybe ask what the BRIDE wants first not the fiancé. Also a bride is allowed to be picky over a dress she’s about to spend thousands on.

I'm not sure the bride has done her homework researching vintage 1920s wedding dresses which were somewhat shapeless. I prefer the second dress.

I feel like I just have to stand up for brides all around the world 🙈… there is no such thing as being too picky when it comes to picking your wedding dress! It’s one dress that you wear one time for this huge day that means the world to you. Of course you want it to be perfect! ❤️🌹 i remember trying on dresses somewhere and the ladies kept saying ‘she has no idea what she wants’… I did know what I DIDN’T WANT! How about that? I’ll know it when I see it! Knowing what you don’t want it also a thing you know… sjeesj!

The bride seemed not at all certain about what she was looking for--until she found it. That dress was made for her. Gorgeous.

“She’s going back and forth she doesn’t know what she wants she’s so confused” Bride: * literally tried on two dresses * 😂

She wasn't picky just not clear on what exactly she wanted. Cause that dress was definitely NOT 1920s

The first one was 1920’s. Then she says it’s not the style she’s after 🤔

I think even at the end, she's trying to convince herself it's the one. She looks confused still.

The second and third dress were lovely on her. Glad she was able to feel the way she wanted!

Why are these consultants so condescending? Why should she compromise for anything less than what she’s been dreaming of? It’s not an easy nor cheap decision.

I feel like this girl had never seen a dress from the 1920's. What she picked was dress with mermaids/fishtail bottom similar to 1950's one's with the Jackie O inspired top.

She was absolutely NOT picky! When you’re spending that much on a dress, you have to find the right one! Not 1920s accurate but I guess you could say “inspired”.

"It's difficult" Welcome to your job David. This version of the show always seems to pick out exactly the wrong veil too.

She's not picky, she's confused. She asked for a 20s style dress, but what she really wanted was the extremely opposite, Hollywood glam. People were looking for her description of a dress and she never liked it because it wasn't what she actually wanted, that's the biggest skill a consultant has to have: be able to know what the bride wants even if they don't know themselves

IMHO…… the shop should get a few Juliette cap veils…… they were popular in the 1920’s…… Satin Sheath gowns with paneled lace trains, cowl necklines, pointed sleeves at the wrist! Let’s try to be a little more authentic!!

That first dress was beautiful.

What a little cutie pie! That’s the right dress, definitely!

I loved the first dress.

I really liked the second dress. Also, often people get different ideas of a style. If you go and look for 1920s, it shows you varied dresses because most of them are inspired and not actually the 20s style. If you're bending towards a certain style, you must bring some pictures/ drawings to base an idea to go with...

The dress she picked was more from the 1930’s than the 1920’s. That might be why it was difficult for her to find something.

The description of the video says 1920s inspired dress, but I am really not seeing even a modern take of 1920s in the clearly gorgeous dress she chose. The dress feels like a modern take on 1940s glamor to me, but I am no expert by any means.

I'm so glad she wore her hair up for the true ons, you can really see the dress .

She looks like a Roman goddess 😍😍😍😍

Right on, Katie!! You chose well, my lovely, you chose well. It's a beautiful dress!

The first dress was very 1920s inspired in my opinion. I don't think she *really* wanted a 1920s dress. She should've brought reference pics.

"Her expectatiosn are too high" - No, she wants to find a wedding dress she likes!

Perfect dress for her. I could also see her in waif fairly like bohemian.

Crazy! She looked perfect in the first one

The dress she picked was absolutely gorgeous and classy on her...

I pray who ever sees, just know that struggles don’t last always. Keep fighting. Keep pushing. This journey you’re going on will be worth it & you will have a story to tell to lift the next person. You got this 🤎💪🏾‼️

The one she didn't want to try on, in the dressing room, would've looked perfect!

That first dress is lovely.

The beautiful, elegant & sleek dress for a perfect beautiful Princess bride.

Gorgeous

She looks gorgeous in her dresses.

The first dress was stunning

Just perfect!! With the venue, you should wear a flower crown! It would be gorgeous!!

That first dress was stunning. The one she picked was the least attractive on her.

1st dress was beautiful 😊

She looks like someone from Downtown abbey

I have NEVER seen David, actually like one of his clients. He always has to insult them one way or another

Love vintage💗

She looked beautiful in all the dresses and perfect in the one she chose a beautiful princess perfect veil to compliment her beauty quite nicely well done everyone! 💕

Great choice

I don't know dresses here look wayyyy.. cheaper than the price they quote

She rocked that dress.

She's toooo cute🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sorry I don't agree with many of the comments - she knows what she doesn't like but she doesn't know what she really wants either. And there is no such thing as a perfect dress (unless you're having a custom-made dress and are willing to spend thousands and thousands of dollars for it).

The dress looked beautiful on her

She is a gorgeous bride

Fifteen hundred quid can't buy perfection. Reality won't meet five grand bespoke expectations.

The veils were totally different in the 20s

Her choice was elegant!

The bride looks like Edith from The Downton Abbey

She didn't have any idea of what she wanted really, she thought all the other dresses were boring and ended up choosing the plainest one there..weird..

The first dress was the best, a bit theatrical, the rest were nothing special.

I love David Emanuel!!! I think what many don't realize is that he is a designer in his own right. He has designed for royalty, for film and music celebrates, and David with his then wife designed Princess Diana's wedding dress. David is Fantastic!!!!👍😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

How can your expectations be too high when it’s your multi thousand pound wedding dress?

Why all the re-runs?

I hope they are all picky. It's their freaking wedding dress. I say try on what you want and find exactly what you want within your budget.

At least she looks really sweet in her choosen dress

It absolutely did the most for her figure. She picked the best one. Isn't that inspired on the classic Greek dress?

honestly the first one looked the best on her

She gives me Edith in Downton Abbey vibes with the dress on

Sleek, elegant, classic, and grown-up. Great gown pick.

Hallelujah

She was NOT picky. She only tried 3 dresses. She knew what she wanted and why should she compromise for something she didn't want. Glad she found her dress she looks absolutely gorgeous.

I like this...

Throw a facinator on each dress or a viel

I wish she’d tried a glitzy belt with the 2nd dress and made alterations to the skirt to get that mermaid look. The 3rd dress was underwhelming in comparison.

First Dress! Not the Dress! Second Dress! Not the Dress! Third Dress! Yes! To This Beautiful Dress!

I thought i was going to be like this when i was picking my wedding dress, but i only tried on 3 dresses and my nan helped with the silhouette as i was going for big princessy and i went with a fishtail

i feel like there is a gaslight section in their employee handbook

She doesn't know what she wants... but she's not confused... Did I hear that right?

She looks like Edith from Downton Abbey and she was my favorite character in the show.

She looks so much like the gal from Downton Abbey!

The dress she picked was lovely for her.

She reminds me of Lady Edith from Downton...

I thought it was Lady Edith from the thumbnail!

The first one was too old for her. It's something like a veteran a-lister of Hollywood would wear on the read carpet with all the shimmer. I do love dresses cut like that, especially the neckline. Very classy, flattering and timeless. Just the fabric is too heavy. I like the second one and it's got aniceshape and neckline but the satin is really unforgiving. It gives her a belly she doesn't have. The shoulders also look like add ons. THe last one is nice and very elegant except for the skirt. Like someone sewed a hula hoop to the bottom- why???

After the nightmare he created for Diana, Emanuel would be the last designer I would see for a wedding dress. (*Marie)

Am I the only one who think she looks like Edith from Downtown Abbey?

It’s the neckline. That third neckline was perfect for her. Nothing else sat right.

Can somebody tell me which song this is 6:15

If she wants a beautiful 20's wedding dress, look to the wedding dress Lady Edith wore on Downton Abbey. Tat dress out shown the sack of a dress Lady Mary wore for her wedding on the show.

if they are picky why buy ready made...... try couture............ and budget must be unlimited not only 1500
