Curvy girl in a mermaid dress ?

Everyone has their own vision for how they want to look as a bride. For me, it was the princess ball gown, and some of my family had negative opinions about that. I'm slender, with a "nice" figure, and everyone was pressuring me to get a mermaid dress. My aunt was extremely vocal against my beautiful ballgown and made me feel exactly how your bridesmaid made you feel. I stuck to my gut though! My dress is my dream dress and it's my wedding! Do you, and shut out the haters!

Furthermore, there is not one dress on earth that EVERYONE will love. I've seen this personally. So you just have to trust yourself

Rock it girl!

I love it! And remember, your FH probably will love to see your curves!

You look great in that dress. I'm sorry but that was real bitchy of your friend to say.

I think a mermaid dress needs a curvy girl to make it look good and you did just that!! Go with your heart!!

You look amazing, and look like you're beaming. It matters more how you feel in it. Sometimes you need to think what made the person say that to you. Maybe there was a bit of misplaced jealousy or something behind it. #sadforher

Echoing other posters... you look fantastic! It's true that the mermaid style doesn't work for everyone, but this dress is seriously made for you! Your friend sounds mean; ignore her and wear that gorgeous dress!

It just needs to be altered and then it will be very flattering

This looks great on you. Maybe your friend is still into the 90s heroine chic look. I think it's extremely flattering.

I'm not fond of mermaid dresses in general, but this looks great on you!

You look beautiful on that dress !!

This dress is so beautiful on you! Not everyone can pull off that style dress. But you my lady are!

Love the dress not crazy about the straps

I think it is also important to know not everyone has the same taste. She was most likely not trying to be mean just giving her honest opinion when it wasn't needed. She also my lack the vision, like many people do, to be able to visualize the complete look when the dress is finished and made for you. I'm my opinion you look amazing. But the only thing that matters is of you love it. Love the way you feel in it. Love the way you look in it.

You look amazing. Tell your bridesmaid to suck it....jealous crow!

You look beautiful in that dress! Be confident!

I think you look wonderful! It depends on how you feel. If you love it go for it!

You are beautiful

I think it flatters you very nicely. And it's such a pretty dress

Its pretty much amazing on you
