Oh god my sides XD
 
+1

Celestia and Luna just don’t look good in dresses.

Rarity had a hangover from the Alicorn party. Problem solved.

Good grief those dresses are ugly.

No, I’m saying that ultimately fashion has 2 avenues.
 
Creativity/appeal
 
versus
 
Aesthetics/form
 
There are people that study their whole lives in decoration, design, and yes, clothing, to understand the theories and understandings behind what GENERALLY works from a design perspective and have a unique understanding of how colors, shades, and shapes work together with one another.
 
However, that does not mean that they are “right.” If everyone really enjoyed this sort of style and it was popular and people enjoyed it then it would become it’s own genre open to interpretation and understanding.
 
Think of late 80s early 90s fashion with the traingles, and the clashing, and the bold colors over whites and primaries.
 
Most look back on it as silly and weird but at the time it was popular. If the trend had stuck it would become a new kind of fashion that would be well remembered.
 
This isn’t an exact estimation because there is, as I said, “no accounting for taste.” Instead, it’s trying to match artistic flair, trend, and accepted aesthetic theory with the variables of the time.
 
It’s far more an art than a science and art can certainly be subjective.
 
So no, I’m not saying that this sort of design is inherently bad but I would posit someone that designed this would probably not become all that successful in their field.

@Background Pony #384F  
Still sounds like you’re saying “The designs are bad but you like them anyway somehow”
 
Because opinions.

@Background Pony #BFE4
 
Well, it’s like they say. “There’s no accounting for taste.” I mean, I could bring up color wheels and actual aesthetic theories but at the end of the day if you like something you like it.
 
Still, from a design perspective it definitely has alot of “clash” going on. There are colors and designs that compliment one another (in theory) versus those that clash (fight with) one another and these garments definitely clash.
 
It doesn’t mean you’re stupid or can’t enjoy it. It just means, from a general perspective, that the design is poor.
 
Again, doesn’t mean your wrong. Enjoyment is subjective.

I dunno, I like the dresses and crowns, I think they look neat.
 
I guess I’m just stupid.

I agree. The crowns also look very awful. In fact, they are purposefully using incompatible colors with them. Light purple, gold/yellow, dark purple, and mixed with clothes of a “cold red” color. It’s all so jarring and bad. It just looks so ugly.

The crowns are a bit iffy too. Something from the hearth’s warming play prop box, and some sort of cake decoration. My headcanon says that they’re trying hard not to upstage Twilight.

See, I thought they were made from a 1970’s couch. Still, either way they don’t qualify for “hotel chic.”
 
They are just so bad and it upsets me because there are some truly beautiful and well designed dresses on this show and here, for Twi’s coronation, it’s like they are wearing couch cushions. It’s awful. Just, such fail.

@Background Pony #384F  
Those were made from the finest shower curtains in all of Equestria.

I can still only say how much I hate those dresses. So gaudy and bad.

So true, it’s sad.
