Can You Sword Fight in a Wedding Dress?

Our survey says: yeah, probably, as long as you take appropriate skirt-dealing-with actions.
I would say this is the oddest video I've ever made but...I mean, if it is, it's not by much XD
1) They change your entire posture, not just your legs making the wearer subtly or not so subtly stick out their butt and chest (to compensate for the altered center of gravity?)
2) They make you look taller and raise your eyeline. Perhaps less important at a wedding than elsewhere, but this can significantly affect power dynamics.
(Sorry, I realize this was like, the Platonic Form of mansplaining. Please forgive me.)

So... she cleverly answered your question (avoiding the claim it was solely to show she still fits in her weeding dress while at the same time claiming that very thing). ------She can still fit in a dress from 2013, pre Ursa Minor.

Nope, I borrowed my wedding dress so I gave it back right after the wedding. I got this one on eBay in...whatever year I did the Phantom of the Opera episode. 2013?

Is this your wedding dress? Was this just to show that you still fit it after ten years of marriage and one pregnancy?

Awwwww, a Nemo cameo!
I love the "This is also the part where you can check the comments to see how many people don't understand the concept of humor." disclaimer!
Of course, I'm reminded of your video "Choose your weapon: 7 everyday items for battling baddies". I commented that you can put your keys between your fingers for a discount Wolverine - which to me was clearly a joke in the spirit of the video. There were some 7 comments speaking about how bad it is to do this - you will get hurt etc. Finally, I had to do the 'adult responsible' thing and respond "it was really just a joke - hyperbole" The immediate response to this was "This is passed on as real information and this misinformation can hurt people". Now I know. I have been informed. š

I am SO GLAD YOU TOLD ME THAT, I have never actually heard anyone say it. And now I can fix it beforehand š¤£

I never thought about that. If no one can see your legs, why are you wearing high heals?
This was good.
Also, you can conceal lots of things under a hoop skirt, including a miniature tank: https://youtu.be/UYGlt2juWAo

I clicked so fast once I read "wedding dress". I know It's bnot the point of the channel, but you look incredidle in that dress, lunging and swording. Much Pre-Raphaelite. Also "wuxia" is pronounced like woo-sha.

Iād love to see the show episode! If you do it, can you talk about lengths of hems? Iād ideally like my bridesmaid dress to be fighting fit! Haha.

I love this so much. The wedding dress plus veil is so dramatic.
4:27: I'm going to assume that this is the moment when you intended to kick off your slipper but did NOT intend to fling it over the fence. Just as the clip cuts it looks like your eyes start to go from "hey that was a good follow-through" to "oh shit I just flung my shoe into the neighbor's yard". He he he!
This is a wonderful video--thanks so much!

I'm pretty confident that I could not sword fight in a wedding dress, but I'm open to selling tickets to a viewing of the attempt.
