My mom wants me to change my dress

Amanda, on August 23, 2016 at 11:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 159

So I already picked out my wedding dress. I fell in love with and even started crying. I bought it and showed my mom and she hates it. She has been telling me I look fat, like a mushroom, I'm too short, and keeps sending me all these pictures of wedding dresses I should wear. I don't know what to do. I felt so confident but now I don't. I don't want to look fat and bad on my wedding day..

    That looks incredible, your mom needs to stfu. Is she paying for it??? ETA I see now you bought it, I was anxious to get to the photo lol. You look really great, seriously. Please don't let her talk you out of it if you're in love with it.

    That dress is gorgeous and you look great in it. I know it's hard- my mom doesn't like my dress- but try to ignore her comments. Do you have a picture of the front of the dress?

    That is stunning. You (and FH) are the only one that has to love your dress. Sounds like a bit of jealousy from your mum!

    P.S You don't look fat or like a mushroom. Loving that hourglass shape, you look amazing.

    That dress looks amazing on you!!! Tell her to leave you alone unless she has something nice to say. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that!

    It looks like you have a banging body. I think Mom is jealous. Keep the dress, lose the mom in the wedding planning.

    Your mom kind of sounds like a b.. you have a rocking body and if anything she is probably just ticked she isn't getting her vision. The dress is stunning on you and you do not look like a mushroom.

    Holy moly! You look fantastic in the dress. I see hourglass and a beautiful silhouette. I know how hard it can be to disregard a comment someone (especially, someone close to you) makes, but if you love it and this is what you want, you have to do what makes you happy. "Mom, this is what I love and I'm not looking for anything other than positivity regarding this choice!" You look fantastic!

    You look amazing in that dress, it's beautiful! I don't think you look fat. I'm sorry your mom is making you doubt your decision, but seriously you shouldn't- it was a great choice to make!

    You look absolutely amazing and your mom is insane.

    Stand your ground and tell her no, your mind is made up and she is hurting your feelings so drop it if she wants to be in the loop on your wedding planning, otherwise she will just have to wait to see everything until the day of just like everyone else.

    Omg no! You look beautiful (from what I can see) and I sure as he'll wish I looked like that! I love your dress. If YOU LOVE it keep it and wear it I'm sure FH rather you wear what you love rather than what your mom wants

    That's ridiculous. Is she normally like that? Your body is slammin' in this dress! You're too close to your wedding to be thinking about a new dress, anyway, so rock it because YOU love it and you look great.
