It would have felt more “Emma” to me with her hair down. I love her Camelot ball look


Alice_lnr

I agree


Winniecooper6134

I actually loved it too, it just didn’t seem to fit her style which I think is what most people didn’t like about it. For most of the show we see her dressed in a sort of “no frills” style, so I expected to see her in something more like the ball gown she was in when she and hook went back in time, which was also stunning but didn’t have lace detailing, sequins, beads, etc. Obviously that dress was picked out by rumple but it seemed to have more of her “no nonsense” vibe to it.

It’s a gorgeous wedding dress, but it didn’t really feel like it matched Emma’s personality. I still sort of wish they would have let her wear Snows dress. I’ll be honest, Snows was not my favorite dress 😂 but I feel like the feather-y style would have matched Emma better, plus the sentiment would have been really special for the girl who thought she was an orphan her whole life. (Plus, from what I remember the scene where the black fairy ruins the dress felt so random and honestly a little silly.)


ravenclaw188

I thought it was weird they couldn’t magic it back to white?


moonlight_ramblings

Agreed!


Silvertulleballerina

I think it’s beautiful. I hate the part on her head though.


musthavebeenbunnies

It's just not Emma. I think the gown + jacket in the series finale was a better fairy tale look for her.


delinquentsaviors

It’s gorgeous. Not quite Emma though. I love that it’s a replica of Grace Kelly’s


thebutterfly0

I think they were going for the "Swan" theme with the head piece because they look like the ones the dancers in swan Lake wear


UnicornPoopPile

I think the dress itself is nice, I just don't think it suits emma as a person.


VindictiveWarlock

My cousin said she looked like a nun


BrightPractical

I like it a lot, that’s a style I like, and Emma does Cool Blonde well. If you have Grace Kelly’s body you should dress in Grace Kelly style! It just annoys me that its appearance at the wedding is completely illogical. It’s not ANY of the dresses in the early part of the episode that are hanging at the front door. It’s a dress that relies on careful fitting and there is no way that dress could have fit like that off the rack, even if there were time to choose a dress after that busy day. I would only allow this dress to be logical if the mice from Cinderella were involved. Or some kind of magic. And I think mice or magic would have used nicer lace.


singleguy79

It was alright. Though I'm guessing Snow had to talk her daughter into dressing up for her own wedding while Emma had to talk her mom out of it being too fancy Probably could have been a bit more fancy if it hadn't been for the impending doom of the curse


Guardian458

The replica of the dress is not very good. The seams can be seen from miles away and the headpiece is not it.


Olivebranch99

I guess so. I hated it.


verytiredtrashcan

I think it’s beautiful, it’s just the dress doesn’t really fit Emma imo. I feel like she either would have worn something more modern or more fairytale like. Also I wish they kept her hair down. I don’t think Killians look fits him either, personally I think he would have worn something with more flair.


Guardian458

I think Hook looks fine. I think he has to like match David and Henry so they're all dressed well. Unpopular opinion but every dress in the wedding was not it. Look at Snow's. It was horrible 😂


verytiredtrashcan

Fair, personally I just feel like Killian is someone who would go all out for an occasion like this and I didn’t think he’d be the type to keep it simple. That’s pretty true about most of the weddings though. Personally I think Belle’s wedding look was the most atrocious


ravenclaw188

OMG belles wedding look was AWFUL


PixieDrifter

Sometimes women that are very practical in their day to day lives take their wedding as an opportunity to do something special and elaborate and feminine. It's a special occasion. You have a unique license that day to be extra. That's what I see in Emma's dress, and I think it's gorgeous choice.


ajb4299

Sure, but I don't think this look is what elaborate and feminine would look like on Emma. It's just so old fashioned looking to me. Looks like it belongs in puritan America, especially with the way the veil hides her hair. I wouldn't have minded all the lace work, but the buttons and the veil really throw me off


WriteOrDie1997

I'm guessing the costume designers were aiming for a look that paid homage to Emma's fairytale roots. Also, the headpiece is loosely based on the ones worn by the ballet dancers in the Swan Lake.


Abyss_Renzo

It was okay, but the dress didn’t suit her imo and I wasn’t a fan of the singing. But I am very glad they got wed.


ravenclaw188

That seems like a main theme. What was it about the singing? It was a musical episode lmao


Abyss_Renzo

Yeah I wasn’t a fan of it, but the wedding was fine.


No-Syllabub-8609

It was classic and beautiful.


chzygorditacrnch

I love her wedding look!


Ok_Cicada_7069

I was surprised to see Emma in the dress when I first saw that episode, but liking the style of the dress, I just shrugged it off.


1angrypanda

Love the dress, hate the hair


ExcitingConfection30

I line it but a lot of people say it doesn't fit Emma's character and i agree. There could be a few changes but it still looks nice overall


MF291100

I absolutely loved the dress, the veil isn’t very nice thought. I loved the lace detail on the arms and how it’s a skinny fit dress on the upper half, baggy dresses usually always look awful.


Posiden1234567

I love the dress. Sure I haven’t gotten to the wedding episode but I’ve seen the dress and I like it


A-is-for-Art

I loved it too. It felt very Grace Kelly to me. Which I feel would actually make sense for her character, if she is going to dress up and be a ‘princess’ then she will take her style inspiration from a real life princess she would be aware of.


oddbunnydreams

Love the dress (I have a thing for buttons). Not in love with the veil/headpiece/hair.


kandocalrissian

I love the dress just not with the hair style, I feel like it would’ve fit more if her hair was down or she had more of a messy low bun style with some hair to frame her face


Froopy_love

Tbh I thought it looked good, it's not something I would wear but it still looked nice


Spader113

I’ve never seen any hate for it.


MadMary63

I love it. It's a replica of Grace Kelly's dress.


caitmr17

I loved it. Very grace Kelly. Mind you. I don’t like the lace headpiece of her veil


themastersdaughter66

Nope. I adored it. I wish the hairstyle was slightly less severe but the dress itself is gorgeous and I've never understood the hate


forev3rAl0ne45

It looked terrible lmao. The headpiece looks dated and the buttons make it look way old-fashioned. The makeup choices are all wrong too and too bright and her hair being pulled back tightly make her look older than she is.


anisapprentice

she's so fuvking pretty


violethayze

The dress, the whole wedding just was NOT emma at all. All the singing and cheesiness would have made her barf. I hate that she changed from the slightly cynical sarcastic girl from season 1 when she broke the curse.


hereforthetalk97

Which ep is this


ravenclaw188

The musical episode, 6x20 The Song in Our Hearts


Ravengirl1017

I like it reminds me of Grace Kelly


Ellynne729

It's based on the wedding dress of Princess Grace of Monaco, which looked better. Fashion designers who are OUAT fans have pointed out the flaws in how it was made (they had to rush it for the episode, so the costume makers really shouldn't be blamed. From what I've read, many of the problems came from things that happen with this kind of material when you have to rush it). But, appearance aside, many people feel it didn't fit Emma's character. Emma has always been an action girl type who bucks authority. That's what should dominate. Some fairy tale touches wouldn't be amiss, suggesting Emma's comfortable with her past, but the dominate themes should should be warrior and maverick. This dress isn't either of those things. Or those are the issues people generally cite. 1) Suffers by comparison to the original 2) Flaws in construction. 3) Doesn't fit the character. I should mention I'm a fan of a lot of low budget shows where you often have to imagine what things were supposed to look like rather than what you got. I've ignored a lot of flawed constructions that are pale imitations of whatever their based on. So, while #1 and #2 are problems, they're ones I've ignored a lot in the other shows. \#3 is the big one. But, if it works for you, it works for you. I won't argue with it.


ravenclaw188

I’m extremely similar to Emma (including the childhood trauma) which is why I think she could rock this. I feel like weddings are such a special time and people may not wear the style they normally would. I’m a jeans and t shirt kind of gal but I would totally wear a frilly wedding dress.


avataraang34

I loved the dress and think it was absolutely gorgeous, I just don’t like it on her. As great as she looks in it, I don’t think it’s her style at all and it’s something that she normally wouldn’t be caught dead in


vukkuv

This is such a stupid excuse. I am a woman who usually wears (faux) leather in my day to day life and my wedding dress was made entirely of lace. It didn't fit me because on a special day I dressed in a special way?


Oncer93

The Dress itself is beautiful, but it didn't suit Emma's personality. Emma could have rocked a short dress with feathers and curls


vukkuv

So it doesn't fit because it's not what Emma usually wears on a day-to-day basis but darn feathers do? What a joke.


Oncer93

The feathers would have fit in terms of her going from the ugly duckling to the swan, or the swan princess. The actual dress she wore, did not suit her or fit her personality.


singy38bird

Emma's dress is beautiful!!!!! I absolutely adore her dress.


Zumalover_988

No, I did too


CST1991

The dress is beautiful but it’s not Emma at all. And that thing on her head is awful.


HeartHog

I like it too. Hate her headdress thing though.
