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..

    Amanda, You look absolutely stunning in your dress and don't allow anyone not even your mom to ruin how amazing you felt in your dress. I am so sorry she is being hurtful to you with something that is so important to you. I as a mom cannot imagine telling any of my kids something like that especially when there is no reasoning as to why. I wish you all the best and pray that you can work past those feelings...and ROCK YOUR DRESS!!!!

    If we are comparing ourselves to fungi:

    If you look like a mushroom, I look like that gross fungus that lives in toenails.

    That's how good you look in the dress!

    That is so rude - you look stunning! And that dress does incredible things for your already great figure! Rock the dress, and just ignore your moms opposition. It sounds like she has some other issues that you can't fix.

    Showed the photos to FH and told him what your mother said. He said "What?? She looks hot! Tell her mother to go pound salt."

    No way! Keep it, you look awesome!

    Maybe seek your moms opinion less, she sounds unhealthy.

    It's your day. Do what makes you happy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's a beautiful dress. I bought my dress earlier than I was supposed too and my mom told me to wait but I had that beautiful feeling. She said I'm the one who has to wear it so ultimately it is my decision. Her taste in dresses are big and princessy and opposite of what I liked. Your mum may be a tad jealous. I sensed the same from my mom since she didn't have opportunity to have a nice wedding. You look amazing.

    You look lovely. I can't even conceptualize what "looking like a mushroom" even looks like on a human being????

    Your mom sounds like a b****. Don't listen to her.

    Case closed.

    I think your mom needs glasses or something because your body looks amazing in that dress.

    Wear what you want. If you had an emotional experience then I would say that's the dress. I'm short so there's not a lot of dresses that look good on me. My mom wanted me to try on a knee length dress, it came down to my ankles! She laughed and said I guess that was a bad idea.

    That dress is beautiful!!! You do not look fat. Tell mom to fall back. YOU are walking down the aisle to FH not your moms. Bump what she says. I love it!
