My MOH doesnt like her dress

rks421

My sister is my matron of honor and her dress came in today. She tried it on and started crying because she does not feel comfortable in it. She is a fuller figure woman and hates the way she looks in everything. In my own opinion, i feel like the dress looks BEAUTIFUL on her. It fits her in all the right places and the only part that needs to be altered is her bust. She told me shell be fine but i dont want her to stress about it. She looks so good in it so how can i reassure her that she doesnt look bad? Thanks.

This sucks. I know i Just want my BM to feel beautiful and sexy. Did she like it when she originally tried it on? Is it flattering on her? Does she need to wear the same dress as the other BM or can she get another?

This is a very sensitive situation. There are only a few things you can do and hopefully they work. First, sit down with her and have her tell you why she doesn't like the dress. If it is something about the dress, see if you can have it fixed. If it is something that has to do with her self esteem, unfortunately all you can do is reassure her that she looks beautiful. Help her shop for jewelry and shoes. Maybe talk about having elements of the dress altered to help her image of herself--for example, if she doesn't like the way her arms look maybe look into getting her a matching bolero, etc. Hopefully this gets resolved!

Do you have all of your girls in the same dress?  Is she being specific about what she doesn't like about the dress?  Is there a dress she'd feel better in that she has chosen or talked about?

Did she pick the dress?? If she did, then that sucks. If you picked it, I think you need to do whatever you can to ind a new dress she loves. She doesn't have to match.

Coming from someone who was sent a link to a dress to buy and reallllllly did not like it, it doesn't matter if you think she looks great, it matters if she feels great.

Yes, we picked the dress together. Also, her dress is different from the bridemsiads. It did come with a shawl and she is considering of wearing that to cover up her shoulders. She told me her shoulds and her hips are the parts shes not liking the most. But i told her the dress gives her body a perfect shape, and it does. Perhaps a bolero could help if she doesnt like the shaw. She dosent have the cash for another dress considering she already paid $230 for this one Hopefully shell feel better. We are going shopping today for jewelry for her. Thanks guys

Is she wearing heels? If it were my sister; I'd buy the bolero for her and have her try it on all together with the bolero, heels / shoes, and jewelry.
