It looked familiar to me, as well. Then I realized the bodice is almost exactly the same as my best friend's mom wore when she got married in 1956. They always had their big wedding portrait on display in their living room, so I must have seen it thousands of times over the years. Her's was ballerina-length, though.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

I think it's an hommage to Grace Kelley's dress.
