Is it normal that I find big poofy ball gowns attractive?

  • I share the EXACT same fetish, fixation, whatever you want to call it! Big, poofy, lacy, ruffly, frilly gowns and such, ESPECIALLY bridal gowns the way they were in the '80s. I'm also daily, since the very beginning of high school, in bow ties - ONLY bow ties - heavily starched white shirts (usually white anyway, and three-piece suits, more so with the suits in my working life. Is it normal? Maybe, maybe not, but WHO CARES? Everyone needs at least one perfectly good fetish!

    • I hesitate to call it a fetish, but rather more of an affinity....since it's not ALWAYS sexual in nature. But whatever the case I've come appreciate it and not worry so much if it's normal or not, as it does make me very happy.

      Bridal gowns were EPIC in the 80s and even into the 90s, the same can be said for prom gowns, ball gowns and the like. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the bridal gowns popular today :(

      But many of the gowns in the 80s were inspired by fashions from the Victorian and Civil War era, which is also another of my favorite time periods for dresses. It's very unfortunate that the style has gone out of popularity, as women look SO attractive in big full ball gowns.

      Anyway thanks so much for the reply, I'm glad to know I'm not alone with my love of the poof. Also interesting to learn you like bow ties, there's another thing you don't see worn much anymore.

      • And yes, the bow ties. Every day I'm in three-piece suits, heavily starched shirts, usually but not always white, and bow ties, the tie-it-yourself kind, of course.

      • "Bridal gowns" today are awful! All bare-arms, bare-shoulders, bare-necked, many of them very plain. Nothing romantic at all about them. The '80s were a high water mark for romantic bridal fashion. Nothing quite so romantic as a bride in a BRIDAL gown with a high collar, long, poofy sleeves, a full train over a crinoline, with all the lace, ruffles, frills, and beading you can fit on the gown, AND a headpiece with a full, traditional veil with a blusher.
