Let’s Have a Conversation:
Are you attending a wedding soon? Who is your favorite retailer for wedding guest dresses? Which dress is your favorite on our list? Tell us about it in the comments below.
I like how all the models are no where near 60.
Hi Tina, and thank for commenting. Please note this is an article about dresses, not an article about models.
well it should be about the models as well and use over 60 ones. thx
Hi Stacey, yes, you are right, and we agree. Unfortunately, if you have looked for clothes in online stores, you have probably noticed that older models make up somewhere around 1% of choices. Even mother of the bride/groom dresses are showcased by younger models, which is absurd. And, believe it or not, sometimes the model is 60+ but the advertised clothes do not match what our community would like to wear.
It’s a tough choice, but since we don’t have models or clothes of our own, we can only choose from what’s available out there.
Which is why we’re asking you to be open-minded, disregard the model and just look at the clothes.
Another thing you could do is reach out to online stores and tell them you don’t feel represented because their models are too young. Many websites now have models of all skin color, so I don’t know why age should be any different.
Thank you!
