As we saw with the Hairy Leggings & Swimsuit uproar, there are some dark corners of the fashion world that are far from pretty. And unfortunately, it’s only going to get uglier. Sorry.

Fancy dress is an age old tradition for celebrating a bride-to-be’s upcoming nuptials. But netted tutus, fluorescent leg warmers, pink cowboy hats and plastic tiara crowns should probably be left in Blackpool circa 2002 where they belong. There’s nothing fancy about that dress up.
