Dress Crisis - 28 Days Left

I'm sure you look beautiful!

That's always an awkward comment, I get it all the time.
Overall unless you want throw money away on an off the rack dress there isn't much you can do.
But also as someone who gets this comment all the time you're being dramatic, you loved this until one dumb comment, don't let a dumb comment ruin something you love.
And look on the bright side, you got curves, many women wish they had, and clearly you fiance loves the way you look, he'll probably think you look a little sexy even. 🤷 Seems more like a win.

There's nothing wrong with child bearing hips. It's called curves, and most women have them and most men love them! Embrace your curves and the way the dress you fell in love with shows them off and know you'll look beautiful on your day!

You don't need a new dress, you need a new friend.
Hold your head up high and rock that dress and live the heck out of that day! You have someone who is about to pledge you a lifetime.....it doesn't get any better than that. You will be beautiful, through and through!

You need a new friend for sure!

View Quoted Comment This! So much. And I also agree with CR—you don’t need a new dress, you need a new friend! So rude I’m guessing she’s jealous.

Trust your gut you made the right decision. Stress gets intense 30 days out. You might second guess everything but don’t! You’re fine. 💕

View Quoted Comment I agree 100%. Anyone who would say this to you is not your friend, and deserves to be told so. Don't let one jerk with a bad opinion and a big mouth ruin the dress you love, the money you already spent on it, and the time leading up to your big day that you deserve to enjoy. Remember what you loved about it when you chose it, and focus on those things. Body stuff is so hard to navigate, but you are perfect and beautiful exactly as you are, and that's all there is to it.

Agree with PP's. There is NOTHING wrong with "child bearing hips" I love mine and quite frankly so does my FH. As the PP said you don't need a new dress you need a new friend. I couldn't even imagine telling someone something to shame their body. Especially in a moment like this!

What a completely RUDE thing to say!!! Please ignore this. Be proud of your "child bearing hips" as they are what makes you uniquely female!! Own it girl!!

View Quoted Comment I agree with this. I appreciate a friend who tells me I have something in my teeth, not something around my midsection. How is that productive or necessary? How will that comment help? Be confident. Have fun and don't listen to that person, ever lol.

K your friend is not a good one and you should ditch them.
However- I don't want to disregard your feelings in any way but I did want to say I also have those 'child bearing hips' (I have tiny boobs, average-broader shoulders and pretty wide hips and a big butt). And when I was shopping for a dress, I LOVED my dress because it accentuated my curves below the waist. My hips are one of my favorite things about my body.


Again, I don't want to disregard your feelings at all. Your feelings are completely valid. I don't know if your friend thought this was a compliment ( I love when people notice my hips tbh 😂) or is just a bad friend. But maybe try to shift how you're thinking about this. You have curves! And I looked at your profile and I'm assuming that the photo on there is the dress you bought. Your dress looks GORGEOUS on you. Ditch the friend, keep the dress.

As someone above said there’s nothing wrong with that! I am hoping your friend didn’t mean it in a rude way. Having hips in not a bad thing at all. Think about how you felt in the dress before someone made a comment. I am sure you loved it so much. Please don’t let one person change the way you feel about something that you loved and wanted in the first place.

I'm so sorry your friend made a less than kind comment about your dress! Your friend isn't the one getting married, you are - as long as you love the dress, that's all that matters People are always going to have opinions, but stand your ground!

I think your friend was wrong for saying that. if you loved it when you bought it, and whoever was with you when you picked it out loved it i'm sure it's stunning. This person doesn't sound like much of a "friend" to me.

Who would say that??? This sounds ridiculous to me and there is nothing wrong with having hips! Most women have them, it's just how we are made. I have a friend and for some reason my most distinct memory of him and his wife, is how one night he was gushing about how absolutely gorrrgeous she is and how his favorite thing about her are her child-bearing hips. I mean for real, this girl is beautiful and now mom to 3 kids and is still a stunner!

Maybe you can find a way to spin the comment into something positive in your mind? I am sure you will look beautiful in your dress, and if you love it, that's all that matters.

Really?!?! All because of ONE person’s opinion??? 😳 You’re not marrying her. So wear the dress you love with confidence.

Girl be proud of your body and know that you ROCK that dress! Your wedding day will be AMAZING and no one's opinion matters more than yours and your FH. Be confident in your own skin (and dress), you LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress, you must you bought it and knew it was going to the dress you'd wearing while marrying the one you love. Don't let ANYONE take that from you!
