A bride's wedding dress is usually a focal point of the ceremony, so it typically receives great attention and extra carefulness from the bride and her designer. Weddings are also considered to be important ceremonies that bind different families into one.  

In more powerful circles, sometimes, a wedding results in an alliance between two kingdoms or companies. Hence, the wedding dress receives great consideration as it depicts the status and manners of the people entering into a union. 

Wedding dresses consisted mostly of white, long gowns with puffy sleeves and cathedral-length veils for a long time after Queen Victoria made them popular in 1840. However, in recent times, brides have been making changes to the monotonous design and color to reflect their tastes and preferences. 

Rather than long and sometimes drab gowns, wedding gowns can now be short or mid-length dresses. They can also have straight, mermaid, sheath or fit and flare styles, among many others. Some brides even wear other colors besides white, which would have been considered inappropriate previously. 

However, the recent tweaks to what was considered the norm have also raised another challenge about what is morally acceptable for wedding dresses. Here is where one bride's choice offended many who felt her wedding dress crossed the limit. The bride, Ellie Gonsalves, a model and an influencer, wore three dresses which she posted on social media after her wedding. 

However, some social media trolls felt the dress was indecent and didn't hesitate to make their reservations known which gave rise to the woman's clap backs. Continue reading to find out how the woman responded to her critics. 

When Ellie Gonsalves wore three dresses for her wedding to Ross Scutts after 14 years together, she had no idea that she would go viral. The controversy arose because of the 33-year-old's third dress, which many felt was indecent for a wedding. 

Gonsalves' third dress was a see-through dress with a plunging neckline and a bottom-high slit. Consequently, several people criticized her in a video she shared from the wedding on April 11, 2023. "What you're sharing with everyone is supposed to be only for your husband," one person commented. Another person remarked, "When the attention from your husband isn't enough🥴."

Thereafter, the model responded to the trolls in the comment section of the post, hitting back at those who slammed her. When a critic claimed he would have walked away if he was her husband, Gonsalves hit back, saying, "mate I can't with these dummie comments. They loved it, he loved it. We had the best time at our wedding. Don't be jealous."

She also slammed another troll, writing, "When commenting rubbish on people's pages makes u feel better about ur boring life." The model also shared a video of herself dancing to Katy Perry’s “Firework” on May 31, 2023, which she captioned, “my response to people getting mad all over the world about my ‘naked wedding dress’ 😂 I’m a firework darl, get over it.”

In addition, the model also wrote a piece in 9Honey saying that she was "not ashamed" of her choice. Gonsalves wrote, "Society often expects women to conform to predetermined standards, limiting their freedom to make choices that reflect their own desires.” 

In addition, Gonsalves said every individual, irrespective of their gender, should have the right to decide their outfits, how they present themselves, and what they want to share with the world.
