Who got to see your dress?

Who did you let see your dress from the time you got it to your wedding day? I don't know if I should be irritated or okay with this situation. I originally just wanted my mom and my maid of honor and bridesmaids to see my dress since they are the ones dress shopping with me anyways. My fiances step-mom, not even his biological mom, has been asking for pictures of dresses I try on, website links to the dresses, and wants to do dress shopping with me, and see my final choice. This lady is the type that has to be in everyones business and know everything that is going on...sooo irritating lately. So who got to see your dress?

MOH, 1 BM and my step-daughter (8) were with me. They saw it. I showed my sis because she could not make it. I showed my future MIL because I wanted to. That is all............plus my MIL is making the flower girl dresses so I thought I would let her get a feel for my "look."I would be annoyed though if people wanted to see. So far I have only shown other people the online version of it (not me in it.)FI has seen nothing and knows nothing. All he knows is it was a ridiculous amount of money (on his CC) and that it is white, lol.

To PP, it's one thing to want it to be a surprise for *almost* everyone. It's another thing to just not want to show your FI's stepmom cause she's "not even his real mom".

It's just a dress...honestly I couldn't tell you what ANY of my friend's dresses looked like, other than being white and pretty. My step-parents would be devistated if I excluded them. Don't start your marriage off with ill feelings among family members. Take the copying as a compliment!

My mom, sister, FMIL, andmy sister's daughter and stepdaughter, most of bridesmaids and coworkers have seen pics though.

A good friend and my mom saw me in it. 2 other friends and my FMIL got links. One of my coworkers. Then there is everyone on the knot and those who have gone to our website. I think I showed it to the cats. But then again I was never good at keeping missle plans secret.

My mom and my Aunt were with me when I found my dress, but no one else has seen it. I want it to be a surprise!

My Mother and one of my sisters (other sister was not able to be reached when we went impromptu shopping). You have a right to show or not show anyone that you want.  If you don't want to show her, just tell her you want it to be a surprise so you're not showing.  Period.  End of story.  If she gets upset, that's her problem, and she needs to get over it.  It's not unreasonable for a bride to want people to be surprised when they see her in her dress.  So just tell her you want her and others to be surprised.  Be confident and don't say it like you are soliciting her opinion as to whether that is ok.  Just be confident and tell her the decision that you have made.  Period, end of story.  She needs to stop being so nosy and so pushy.
