REACTING TO WAY TOO SEXY WEDDING DRESSES 

"people are tacky. god makes tacky people, it's fine." i died

I don't mind the sheer dress, but the first one looked gorgeous on Mel. It fit her body so well and it made her the focus without being simple.

"I'm not a Christian nationalist so I have a skewed view of what is appropriate" 😂 happy member of the skewed views club here too

Luke going in ready to mock dresses and instantly caving to empathy for the woman the second she showed vulnerability really shows you who he is deep down. Regardless of if he likes your fashion choices, he doesn't want you to feel bad. I really like that. Fashion channels shouldn't be about tearing people down 100% of the time. We stan a non-toxic king.

it's always so bizarre to me how comfortable some people are expressing strong, often borderline condescending, opinions about someone else's wedding dress. You can have an opinion and state it without acting like you're righteously offended by someone else's preference.

For the English lady, the super sheer dress didn’t give her body and definition like the third dress did. When you tell a person what looks good or not on them you have to give specific reasons not just “it looks vile” that’s an opinion not a actual reason why it doesn’t suit you. Also, sometime’s when you’re turning a page in life you wear things that reflect the new you and if people don’t like it they can look the other way.

The 3rd bride wanted a fitted trumpet mermaid dress. Kleinfelds has those, why they didn't show her that, I have no idea?

The second bride was so adorable when she was talking about her partner, so cute!

I got married in a church, in a christian ceremony but my dress was still low back, showing off my tattoos, plunge neckline and a slit up the leg. You do you!

What a great video, Luke is always so supportive of the brides without being fake about it.

Anyone who chooses to dress as they please, especially on the wedding day so heavy with other peoples expectations, should be applauded

Say yes to the dress Lancashire with Gok Wan is my favorite! He’s so sweet and supportive and the dresses are Way prettier than ones on the other shows.

"Say Yes To The Dress" shows are one of the few reality shows where I can relax, laugh, (ironically) use as "white noise" and see beautiful dresses. A HauteLeMode commentary makes the show even more entertaining.

That last dress - when this aired it was THE dress that they put on nearly every bride. Episode after episode, so many brides bought that one it was kind of sad to hear them say they wanted something "unique" and then they would all choose the same dress.

"Jessica Rabbit in white" - Assistant is like "SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS!!!!"

Girl, it's YOUR day! You gotta do you. My family wanted me in a ballgown so bad. Dress shopping w the family was awful. Just trying on dress after dress i hated and felt like a fraud in. I am a jumpsuit girl. I'm like known to wear them everywhere. I went with bestie, found an awesome jumpsuit, had it tailored to the gawds and guess what my family is still saying 7 years later? "ICONIC". Trust your gut and do you ❤

I cried at my fitting because I felt pressured into a different style that I wanted. My husband promised a dress I'd love for our 20th anniversary and I'm holding him to that!

Sadly, the "Jessica Rabbit" dress looks like someone wrapped a sheet around the real dress. But, like Luke says, as long as she's happy ... but I do expect to see an episode where she buys dress #4.

i actually LOVED stephanie’s 1st dress that they deemed too sexy 😭 it was gorgeous

Since there's alreay shaming comments here i just wanna throw out this: its your wedding. There's no such thing as a "too sexy" wedding dress. We don't have to pretend that we're all virgins anymore lmao. Wear as conservative or provocative of a dress that you want.

seeing luke smile makes me smile, and i hope it makes the next person smile, just a continuous smile train that anyone can ride! also love luke cus of how honest he is, love an honest king!

Luke, I truly love how you give your opinion on fashion, but you're incredibly empathetic and you have a global and brand view of not just someones fashion, but also their feelings and how the garments make them feel. love the channel.

I loved watching this series as a child. I don't think I'd ever bring that many people if I was to shop for a wedding dress though as I'd probably be easily swayed like the second bride (and possibly regret it). I liked that the last bride was very adamant about what she wanted.

The second dress for the first bride was probably my least favourite of the three, but I feel it can work with something like a white lace undergarment.

While I’m all for the ‘you do you’ vibe; The comment “he didn’t know where to look.” Stands out to me(in Mel’s section) For a fashion show, or a couture party the sheer dress would be great. But when I think of being at my wedding and having all my friends and family unable to look at me without feeling uncomfortable, it makes me sad. I want to feel confident and I want everyone attending to feel comfortable and the amount of dress revealing-ness should be a happy medium. 1yr later update: My initial comment didn’t well convey what actually bothered me about that bride. The short version is more “wear whatever you want, but the intentions behind her choices were kinda sus” I’m more concerned with her state of mind than her dress choices. The way it was presented in the editing of the show was that she enjoyed how uncomfortable her guy friend was when she was in a revealing dress. She reveled in the fact that he couldn’t look at her. It made her seem like she WANTED to make the people coming to her wedding feel awkward,uncomfortable and unable to look at her because of how scantily clad she was. Why does she want to treat her wedding guests like that? Aren’t these supposed to be people she cares about? It wasn’t *that* she wanted to wear something revealing that bothered me, it was *why*.

Thé first dress on the first woman, it was gorgeous and made her waistline look itty bitty . The second looked like a wal mart nightgown

"That's a whole lotta sheer " Well put, Luke! I appreciate your way of positive phrasing. I always learn something from you! 5 appts and 50 dresses kinda says she not only isn't ready to make a decision but she can't make a decision.

❤ Fan from the UK, just here to say, Gok Wan is a truly underappreciated name in the uk fashion industry. I Stan. ❤

the way some people phrase things is awful, like if you dislike the dress make sure it's clear you're commenting on the dress! some of these people's 'friends' just sound like they're brutally insulting them Also, why were kleinfelds unable to find something sexy and slinky for that last bride? Like it's not a particularly wild idea- slinky fabric, low back, high slit and a sweetheart neckline but they kept pulling really bulky gowns

TBH when I was younger I was like "EW sexy wedding dresses are tacky" fast forward to when I actually got married at 35... bro I'm a grown ass woman, I'm going to wear a sexy dress because I am sexy lol. Also helps that it was blistering hot and humid on my wedding day so wearing as little clothing as possible was ideal. In the end all my photos look "old hollywood" glam and not tacky at all.

Sexy is subjective, but I prefer sexy that doesn't distract from the bride herself. Some of the dresses are so over the top sexy that the wedding guests will be looking at the dress and not how beautiful and happy the bride looks on the wedding day.

We need a bookshelf tour , and see every fashion book that you have 🥰

‘I leave it on the field’ one of the many many reasons I admire and respect you Luke xxxx

I just love Say Yes to the Dress and I love your commentary on it even more.

I love the Goks edition. He really care about girls and the dresses are stunning.

The first bride...It's not that I care that it's sheer, it just doesn't look good lol. I still like the first one better.

In the 1960's, grandma's used to knit toilet roll covers that involved a fashion doll wearing a knit dress with a super full skirt that covered the toilet roll. That hated dress of Stephanie's immediately reminded me of one of those dolls, lol.

I felt sorry for the last bride. That dress looked like she wrapped a sheet around her bum. And she didn't seem excited, more like resigned.

My daughter had a Jessica Rabbit red dress for her prom. As a curvy tall girl she rocked it.

The second bride is having a hard time picking a dress because she’s not picking the dress she likes.

Love series with GOK because he really works with each women ,.. love you covering it

The #1 rule of fashion and weddings is to put on what makes you happy. There is an art to balancing your “edge” with social expectation. Some are better at it than others, and some just don’t care to balance at all which I honestly respect. Personally, I think a bit of nudity is a fabulous choice if it’s purposeful. That being said, the purpose of bringing an entourage is to get an idea of people’s reaction to your dress. If you can hear your future MIL tell you she hates it but you still are brave enough to wear it, then girlie it’s the dress for you!

We NEED a Project Runway reaction! 😂❤

These videos always make me happy, Lukes takes on the dresses and the family reactions resonate with me so deeply. Everyone should just wear what they want to wear. Ofc your loved ones can voice their opinions, but there’s no reason to be vile

This is exactly why I went dress shopping by myself. Everyone has too many opinions at the fittings. Wear what makes you happy!

I used to work at a couture bridal shop and it’s so interesting watching say yes to dress now and knowing the brands! The first dress 3:22 looks like it’s from Enzoani! Gorgeous brand!

Considering how expensive a good bridal dress is, if you're not going to wear a dress you actually like simply because the people have "expectations" for a more conservative dress, then might as well skip the whole wedding ceremony and just get legally married and call it a day.

It took me a bit to figure out what my issue with bride No 1’s second dress was but I think I figured it out: to me it feels like half a dress, like it’s just the lace overlay and it makes it feel either unfinished or like a very expensive nightgown bc of the missing structure in it. I think there would’ve been a way to use that super sheer concept but still make it feel like an actually finished dress imo. But I absolutely loved the third dress on her! Bride no 2 I’m so sorry for her entourage bc they aren’t in her corner at all and are just telling her what her parents wouldn’t approve of as if she doesn’t know that herself. I actually really liked the bodice of the second dress on her (the one with the fufu skirt), but I wasn’t a fan of the skirt bc to me it distracted from the bodice too much? I think that bodice with a different skirt could actually look really elegant. Also I’ve been to many church weddings and if the top part was “too sexy” it’s not unusual to just have a short jacket styled on top that covers the shoulders for the ceremony 🤷

You were so spot on with many of your comments! I'm sure some of it's for the drama of TV, but it makes me feel so bad for the poor bride who loves the dress and has the confidence, to watch her get torn down. I also get annoyed at the consultants sometimes (more than just Gok) because they know that the entourage is going to react that way, but also put them in the line of fire to show them 'this is why you don't want to go this route'. It really eats at me!

That’s why I am paying for my own dress - I might not have a 8.000€ budget - but I will get the dress I want

I’m from a Catholic majority country and it’s common to have sexy wedding dresses as long as you have some kind of jacket or shawl to cover your shoulders doing the actual ceremony, the only one that wouldn’t cut it is the very sheer one the English girl tried on second.

You have so many books on your shelf. I’d love to see you make a video showing off your favorite fashion books!

Your say yes to the dress reactions are honestly my favourite

"You look like a Vegas girl" on the poofy skirt with sheer bodice. Lmao 🤣

That was fun! 😄 I love that you're respectful of the bride's feelings. You're right, no one need be mean even if they don't like the dress. One can be tactful.

I love your genuine tolerance.

“People are tacky. God makes tacky people. It’s fine” 😂😂 I died and I love the kindness and honesty

I love hearing how kind you are Luke. Agree that the better someone else feels about themselves, the better for the world. I like the tutorials for Denise et al.

My dislike for very sheer wedding dresses stems from a single thing: I can't concentrate on the bride's face in them (and I'm a heterosexual woman). I personally feel that these dresses take away the focus from the person getting married, showcasing a mere body instead. As if it didn't matter who's in front of the altar as long as they're hot. Again, this is just a personal opinion, and I also believe that it's possible to find something sexy but not overly revealing (like the first or third dresses. I LOVED those.), but for me, completelly sheer is just too much. Of course if someone wants to wear a sheer dress for their wedding, it's their wedding, so go for it!

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I have to say, I LOVE YOU! You put out such a positive energy and it’s so nice to hear someone affirming other peoples choices even if they aren’t your personal style. Gold star!

I did not understand Mel's obsession with exposing herself until i heard her mother talk. If the most important ppl in my life were that negative i would also oppose them as radically.

I love Mel’s first dress on her so much :’)

Tattoos are great if you choose to get them. I am a breast cancer survivor, I have several tracking tattoos. I never wanted them, I hate them and am very careful to cover them and my scars up. Congrats to those who chose to get them. Enjoy them.

Mel’s 3rd dress was beautiful, I loved it and it looked amazing on her.

17:08 the comments about the shrug… “it looks like an oysterrrr…” killed me

i love ur say yes to the dress vids in between all the high fashion! so glad theyre back

I was married in 1987. I picked a gown my Dad did not like. It was beautiful and I was very thin so it looked perfect on me. My late husband said it was the happiest day of his life. In the end it’s celebrating the love and commitment of 2 people. ❤ we were married 31 years and had a beautiful family. I still have the dress😢

How much I love this channel! ❤ every time as a nice surprise

I feel bad for the first woman. Honestly, I thought she was beautiful in the "before" picture (no fillers no superdark fake tan). That being said, I think if you're getting married, you deserve to have what you want on that day. Just do what makes you happy!

17:50 All the dresses that her entourage and parents liked were giving prom dress. I don’t think there was anything special about them.

the second dress does make me uncomfortable. i'm a big believer of wear what you want on your wedding, but i think you should take into account what that not everyone in the room is going to consent to seeing you in basically just lace and your underwear.

I love how these videos are almost never about roasting the women's preferences. Every now and then someone will try something that just doesn't work for her, and even then you just observe the problems with the dress as kindly and objectively as possible. It's never about ridiculing or belittling people for not being fashion experts and I love that ♥️

I love you so much, for how you support women with empathy 💖

Gok is just the sweetest

The completely sheer one doesn't say bridal to me. It says swimsuit cover up/night gown.

"GOD MAKES TACKY PEOPLE, IT'S FINE" omg

i just can't believe that was the best dress they got for miss jessica rabbit

When the last lady said Jessica Rabbit I immediately expected a slinky, fitted dress, with a strapless sweetheart neckline, a slit (maybe not as high as the original dress), and covered in sequins and crystals. None of the dresses she tried on came even remotely close to what Jessica Rabbit wore.

while I personally am not a fan of showing off the body too much, it's ultimately the decision of the one wearing the dress and her partner (as their clothes should compliment each other). so even if only the bride and her partner like the dress, as long as they're fine with it, it's all good.

To me, the second bride's friend's "classy" comments are especially annoying when she's talking about dresses that are 8-11 THOUSAND dollars. We're not talking about cheap plastic bling here. All the dresses were gorgeous and high-end and equally "classy".

I always look forward to your uploads Luke. Love you’re commentary and opinions. You are honest and yet not offensive. #respect

Love this! I’m always excited when you do SYTD videos especially as an up-and-coming bridal designer myself , I love seeing your reaction to the dresses ❤❤❤.

I’m all for wearing what makes you happy. I myself wore an 18th century style with a green tartan top and white skirt. But why anybody thinks it’s appropriate to walk down that church aisle essentially naked in a transparent gown before God and giving an eyefull to all your loved ones, friends and family… The women in the shops would say to me, “we CAN put a lining in to the dress IF YOU WANT.” Like girl, yes I’d want. Only all the dresses they offered were strapless and felt like lingerie. I decided to sew my own.

I so enjoy this happy Luke.

You have great insights on this topic. We wish you all the best.

Such a fun video from you as always!

lots of the lacy sheer dresses I've seen on yes to the dress clips look like tacky old curtains or doilies.

I really loved the third dress. It was super flattering on her, and I loved your reaction and description of the dress. 😊

23:57 love this bride and her friends. It’s so nice to see friends that are supportive!!

7:55 denise is probably the reason why the bride feels self conscious. She has the most negative sentiment in the crowd. I can easily see how if that's all you ever hear from your closed ones, that's what you'll end up believing.

The sad music they played for that woman for "before" her plastic surgery was hilarious....the second lady's friends made me depressed. Ugh.

You need to host a show like this! You would make it so much better. Love your opinion and style.

I don't like the sheer dress but I wouldn't hurt my daughter or daughter in-laws feelings by saying that.I think I would just encourage her to try a few more

If you bring me along and ask for my honest opinion, you're going to get it. If you want applause for your choices, tell me that and I will do that. But don't tell me you want honesty and then get mad at me for giving you my honest reaction. That's being an a$$hole.

We need more of these!! Love your commentary

In regards to the first bride, I personally do think the second sheer dress was a little too much, especially if she’s having children and older members at her wedding. The first dress was beautiful on her and not conservative at all, but still modest enough for a wedding.

What you said about being smart selfish... it takes a lot of wisdom to speak like that, and that's amazing.

I would spend all my life savings(not really) to get an appointment with Gok wan. Lancashire episodes have the best dresses

One thing I thought we (you and I) agreed on is that horizontal waists, or even a drop waist that is horizontal, rather than something that has angles and flow, are not flattering. In this video, more than once you commented on liking dresses that had absolutely horizontal elements. That final dress -- the not so Jessica Rabbit number -- had that horizontal drape right around the largest part of the hips. For me, it destroyed an otherwise beautiful gown! But this was fun to watch! Thanks!

That second bride comes back again and I'm pretty sure does the two dress situation. She had a more conservative church look and a sexy fit and flare for the reception
