We crane our neck because they are pretty! And because we are either looking forward to getting to wear a fabulously decadent dress, or wishing we had an excuse to dress up for something...
That's half the appeal of period dramas you know - vicariously getting to go to balls all the time. :)

That's not QUITE true.
There are three varieties:
1 - The standard wedding dress
2 - Your wife's wedding dress
3 - The wedding dress that shows far too much skin on a woman that isn't your wife.
So true, mate.
Point 2 is very important to remember.
My wife's dress had purple (stitched) flowers on it. It was white, other than that.
And she had silver shoes.
Yours?
Obviously you're trying to trip me up, which is not very brotherly.
It was white and long.
I wasn't meaning to trip you up (sorry if you read it that way). I was encouraging you to share.
See, from my point of view your wife's dress fits neatly into category 1 of my schema (I'll assume it isn't category 3 :)).
don't apologise, I was joking!
I do remember more about it. I remember that i liked the neckline and little sleeves.
but very true about other women's dresses. I've been to a stack of weddings, and have no memory whatsoever of the dresses.
Why I brought this up was that I see ladies always craning their necks on the bus as we drive past the bridal shops.
Whereas, I can't think of anything more boring and samey to crane my neck towards.

Oh, I knew that, totally. why else would anyone want to watch a three hour movie about boring people sitting about on a lawn having a picnic?
Every time I say something about Jane Austen, the ladies rush in and say 'oh, but the glorious characterisation! The story is in the conversation!'
Blah blah blah.
Really, you're just looking at boofy dresses.
