I was browsing through BMV and came across this. Is it just me, or is this one of the most egregious bow applications ever?

I'm completely at a loss.

lol. I totally agree. When I first saw this, I thought, "What were they thinking???" Boob bows, boob flaps...uh, no way!

If this weren't so funny, it would be offensive.
Shudder to think of all the bridesmaids who might wear this!
Holy Cow and Good Gravy!

I was wondering how many people this went thru before it went into production. Did no one have the stones to say "no" to the bow? Wow!

Yes, that has the potential for being the worst bridesmaid's dress ever. And that's saying a lot.

It's like saying, "my boobs can defy gravity and FLY" Can you immagine it in someone with a 42 E bust?

In one llustration the wings are lower and it's worse! and I bet if we put it on the butt it will perform miraculous physically impossible lift!
