My mom wants me to change my dress

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...

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..

    Girl I literally can't with your mom's comments... if it was me, I would let her know that she is being hateful and rude and she needs to stfu!!!!

    you look INCREDIBLE.... your body is banging and those curves are killer. I guarantee your FH will love you in it, and as long as you love it also, everyone else can kick rocks. Including your mother.

    Umm girl you look amazing in that dress. Don't let her get to you. Your FH is going to find you beautiful in that dress and won't be able to take his eyes off of you.

    That dress is gorgeous and you look absolutely stunning in it! I love the lace and the buttons. I can understand why you cried and fell in love, it seems to fit you perfectly. Sometimes other people don't see what we see, I hope that your mom ultimately sees not only how gorgeous you look in that dress but how happy it makes you. Smiley smile

    Um..... what kind of mother says such hurtful things to her daughter about her wedding dress?? You look stupid gorgeous, you choose an incredible dress. She must be jealous or something. Also, a mushroom?? LMAO.... I mean, how?? Lol I see no resemblance to a mushroom, only to a freaking movie star! Laugh in her face next time she says something, because she must be joking. That's how ridiculous her petulant comments are.

    Ps I hope you show her this thread. Smiley smile

    I'm going to guess your mom was envisioning you in a ball gown. Tell her you love your dress and to zip it.

    That dress is perfection on you. I'm not sure why your mother feels the need to be unnecessarily cruel to you, but I'm sorry she is. Congrats on your baby and you'll make a gorgeous bride!!

    Umm you're doing it in that dress! Go with what you feel, family can be the worst. I found my dress and Facetimed my sister to share it with her (she lives out of state)...she said she liked it insisted she was immediately going to shop for me online letting me know what she thinks I should wear. Long story I had to TELL her I found my dress and she needed to stop lol.

    You are the only one who has to like your dress. I think you look beautiful so don't listen to the naysayers! My mom (pardon the pun) is a Negative Nancy. I knew she would have something to say about the dress I picked out. Surprisingly, she didn't.
