[[File:erin_wedding_dress_5165erin wedding dress 5165.jpg|link=Daria|frame|A gown as lovely as one made by a [[Fairy Godmother]].]]
 
A fancy wedding dress with an old-fashioned style of skirt, usually full length and bell-shaped, and plenty of trimmings such as pearls, flowers, lace, [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]], a [[Giant Waist Ribbon]], a long train, a large veil, etc. After all, what's a [[Wedding Day]] without some [[Costume Porn]]?
Line 12:
When it is a wedding, this tends to be worn by younger women. Older women are usually seen as [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|not being so naive]] about how wedding should go (even if they aren't [[Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids|above romance]]).
 
Now as the name indicates, this dress is likely to show up at [[Happily Ever After|the end of]] some [[Fairy Tale|Fairy Tales]]s, or at least modern works of them. (Genuine folk fairy tales tend to skip over the satorial details to lavish attention on the villain's horrific death. Illustrated versions may show it, though.)
 
It isn't immune to being [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes]] if either the bride has little taste or she is forced to wear such a dress. It also isn't immune from being [[Doomed New Clothes]] or a [[Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress]], unless it's a live action work and the dress is too expensive to wreck.
