Vent - Dress Woes

Ugh... just a vent. I went shopping with my mom for a dress and just ended up frustrated and unhappy. I wanted a fit and flare, but my mom mom made me feel ugly in everything I liked. I'm a plus size bride and her comment was "nobody looks good in that style"

So, shopping was bad. Left without finding a dress. So, today I went by myself. I really wanted to hear my own thoughts. I couldn't even bring myself to try on a fit and flare. But, then I found a great dress! I love the feel and the style. It's an a-line with a tiered skirt. I took a pic, and sent it to my mom.

I honestly thought that she would say something like, "wow, beautiful!" I mean... it is more similar to what she wanted me to get... my text to her said "I think I found it :-)" her response "it's better than the other dresses you kept trying on the other day. But you need to find a jacket or something to cover your shoulders and upper arms."

I need to not care as much. But, way to deflate my excitement.
