There have been recent articles in the news,mentioning the new trend of having pockets in wedding dresses. If you had had pockets in your wedding dress, what would you have put in them?
I would have probably have ended up with my husbands car keys and his wallet,as that is what I end up carrying in my handbag now when we go out!!

Well, I would have put a hanky in there and a lipstick,todays brides would most likely have their iPhones to take a quick pouting selfie of themselves at the altar.grin

Handkerchief springs to mind, wonder if anyone would have taken taxi money in case they changed their mind at the altar !

Not if it was a photo of me paddyann grin
I just sent a tunic back that had very large pockets - I do not need the extra width!

As for the wedding dress pockets - yes, a mobile in one side and a hipflask of gin in the other one.

Now you are talking Jalima exactly what I would have in the pockets.

If I had worn a wedding dress and if it had had pockets I would have had my ID card in one, Wrens, and fags and lighter in the other. Oh, happy days!

Why do baby clothes have pockets?

Luckygirl Mon 17-Sept-18 09:21:26

Condoms? - for the wedding dress pocket, not baby clothes! grin

Pockets!!! Yes I agree they would have a phone and take selfies. Not for me although I wish I had had my running shoes on!

Why do nighties have pockets in them ? And now wedding dresses !

annodomini Mon 17-Sept-18 09:59:38

I had my mum there to carry spare lippy and tissues. Why have a dog and bark yourself?

My bottle green school gym knickers had a pocket.......

Missfoodlove Mon 17-Sept-18 10:47:38

A mobile phone, I could post selfies all day, check out social media, check my appearance using the camera and post live videos of the day.
Tongue in cheek obs but I bet it’s been done!

I can't imagine where a pocket would go in a traditional wedding dress - surely it would spoil the line?

A reticule would be a far more stylish idea - and much more practical than a bunch of flarze which have to be put down every five minutes.

The pockets are more a design feature on certain styles. If the dress has a natural waistline and a full skirt they seem to add loose pleats and side pockets are hidden away on the sides.

Am I the only (female!) GNer who never wears lipstick?!

Alima Mon 17-Sept-18 13:38:08

No.

JackyB Mon 17-Sept-18 13:50:40

I wore lipstick for the very first time on my wedding day!

Willow500 Mon 17-Sept-18 14:14:18

I had pockets in my wedding outfit - a pink dress and jacket - I don't remember having anything in them - don't know whether they actually opened! Nowadays all my pockets hold tissues - old lady nasal drip has suddenly developed shock

humpty, no, you aren't. A friend once asked: "Not even on your wedding day?" Not even.

Unless you count lipsil, which I use all the time.

Maybelle Mon 17-Sept-18 15:31:50

Me too, never worn make up of any sort, not in my wedding day or as mother of the bride.
