Ellen's bridal dress make sense to me, in that whole becoming the bride of death tradition.
But I am always puzzled by Lucy's dress. Honestly, I don't what it is meant to represent, beyond a complete contrast to her sensual attire in the garden!
My response:
Thank you - you're most welcome.
Lucy's wedding gown is the most historically inaccurate of the film's costuming, and frankly, I always thought it was hideous.
That said, I think it's supposed to symbolize Lucy's transformation from normal to monster. The outfit's certainly creepy, and thus perfectly fits the tomb scene in all its horror.
