All possible reasons for that "pile of swans". Or maybe Mayim or one one the writers is a Bjork fan and wanted to pay a tribute

seemed to fit her character to me

I liked the first one she tried on. The one she chose looks like a toilet paper cozy!

Well, if that's a tribute, probably would be blinded in both by the sight of what an insult would look like.

Not any more so than the other two.

Bad enough I get to see that hot mess of a dress again at the wedding; now your "toilet paper cozy" image is stuck in my brain. Probably will not be able to un-think it in time for the wedding; but, I guess it’s better than my previous comparison which was to a bevy of swans in a feeding frenzy.

Well there were other 'cozies' that looked closer but since google changed the way we can view & copy images & TMDb will not allow images in the post that was the closest I could find. Sorry?

Well thank you for inviting me the world of toilet paper cozys. I just perused Etsy and Pinterest and saw more varieties than I need to know about.

Well don't forget the 'teapot cozy':

Just tossing it out there, because... because.... well, because I loved "The Critic!"

This is a behind-the-scenes question--not an in-show one.

I'm no expert on wedding dresses; but, I know what makes my hurt.

Why did the show saddled Bialik with that God-awful-looking-should-have-Gone-With-The-Wind-sewn-together-exploded-mattress-innards of a dress?

Maybe they're punishing her for some infraction(s): being late to rehearsals – not being prepared - flubbing her lines too many times and causing too many “takes” - getting a tad too hippy. Must be something

If "Big Bird" ever got married, that's the dress I'd expect his bride to wear.

I've been giving my own question some .

And...

Much like that dress, I'm thinking this whole situation stinks.

And...

What I think it stinks of is PR People manipulation. A simple, elegant dress would have caused the usual discussion flare up; which soon would have died out. But, this monstrosity masquerading as a dress has kept the discussion embers well stroked.

I think they came up with this hideous wedding dress Thing purely for the purposes of cultivating controversy and hype. No way would a decent looking dress get the kind of “press” that Thing is getting! People are and that Thing all over the place. I even read a couple of comments from designers about how they would improve on what's already there to make it more appealing. They probably don't even watch the show; and just "signed on" to critique the dress.

God! These show people sure know how to work us!

The ugly wedding/bridesmaid dress is a bit of a cliche. Just a few days before the episode I came across a "Two Broke Girls" rerun where the broke girls had to wear ugly bridesmaid dresses.

Does it really seem out of character for Amy to pick a wedding dress that others might regard as hideous? Especially considering how she dresses usually? It also doesn't seem that far out that Sheldon would find it beautiful too.

Personally, I like the first dress she tried on best. However, considering what we've seen of the character and her tastes, I wouldn't expect her or Sheldon not to be most drawn to that pile of doilies.

Once I saw it, I just knew that it would be her choice, and that Sheldon would be blown away on first sight of it.
