In the pictures, the happy bride could be seen wearing an eye-catching white cinched bodice that fanned out into a connecting skirt that held lots of volume.
The entire design was customized by Undo and her former pattern-making teacher, Mari Carmen Francés López, who also helped her with her shoes, which were designed in the style of ballet slippers. It was meant as a nod towards her time as a ballerina.
It’s no surprise she was in love with the entire outfit, but a few users also felt the need to express their opinion, as reported by Daily Mail.

One person, Caroline Crawford Patterson, thought Undo looked amazing, but those looking at her dress from inspiration should probably turn their heads toward something more affordable.
“Do you know how expensive fabric for a veil is? It’s almost ungodly because it’s just a way to rake in cash,” she said. “Nobody makes a veil that is this long. This veil, easily like five grand.”
She later added that they were being “scammed and fooled” when seeing designs like this as it created an unrealistic expectation for future brides due to the veil cost.

But it seemed Patterson did like the proportions of it all, saying it followed the ‘bouquet rule.’
“I believe she also followed [the bouquet] rule, bouquet width is not wider than waist width,” she shared. “Even though the bouquet does swallow the dress, you could say, vertically.”
Others chimed in with their thoughts.

“I feel like she’s drowning,” one person said.
Another noted, “It’s the right way to wear but I’d feel so claustrophobic.”
A third observed, “It’s beautiful but dont see her i see her flowers i see fabric but i dont see HER… sorry not for me.”

Of course, there were also nicer compliments that thought the entire piece was perfect.
“Like a beautiful haunting vision!” one user exclaimed. “That’s how I wanna look! Like draped in fabric.”
“This bride!” a netizen gushed. “The whole look and vibe is perfection for me.”

In a piece she wrote for The Wed, Undo was able to peel the curtain back on how her dress was crafted while she shared every little detail about her big day.
She talked about her dress design, saying it felt very much like herself.

“I wanted something simple that I would still love 30 years from now while also reflecting my style 100%,” she said. “The volume was inspired by my favorite movie, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, and I chose a champagne-colored silk duchesse fabric.”
In an Instagram video, she also gave a brief breakdown of the cost of her dress and, contrary to what Patterson thought, Undo said her veil wasn’t very expensive as she instead bought a large piece of fabric so she could fashion everything herself.
