WHILE planning her wedding, a bride-to-be fell in love – with the simple silhouettes of Kim Kardashian's brand Skims.
In a perfect world, she'd outfit her bridesmaids in the viral dresses, but online commenters warn it's not a good idea.
When recently engaged Ciara McCune (@cc_mcq) began planning, she had ideas about her bridal party's wardrobe.
"I'm going for an all-black look, and I want high necks," McCune explained.
But she wanted the dresses to give off a "cute, sexy, fun 20-year-old" energy, she said, not "high-neck grandma."
So, she settled on the Skims Smooth Lounge collection halter dress, $98, and ordered a dress in her size as a sample.
She also ordered a similar black dress from Azazie to compare it to.
McCune hoped the dresses wouldn't look too matronly. "They're long gowns, but it's Skims," she said, holding the packages.
There were parts of the silhouette McCune loved right away, and others she didn't.
"The back? Stunning," she said. "But the top, it's kind of loose here."

She tugged at the side of the dress, which ran along her ribcage.
Because the fabric was so loose, McCune worried her bridesmaids' chests might be exposed.
"Maybe I just have a size too big," she theorized. "This whole side situation is kind of freaking me out."
Her viewers chimed in with advice. "I think you need to keep that Skims one for yourself," a fan wrote.
Another gently pushed back on the idea of McCune's bridesmaids wearing Skims at the wedding.
"I feel like the jersey material just won’t translate well in pictures," she worried. "But ugh, so cute, and definitely keep for yourself."
"Great point about pictures," McCune wrote back.
"I'm not sure how great this would be as an option," she admitted.
