May 2013 Weddings

So I got the bridesmaid's dress...

For my FSIL's wedding.  And I hate it.  I mean, I hate every, single thing about it.  It is not only completely hideous, it is completely hideous on me.  I look terrible in it- I feel fat, crooked, unshapely, you name it.  I literally cried when i put it on.  Sometimes I feel like that when I go clothes shopping, but I know I don't have to wear those things.  This I have to wear for a whole day in front of hundreds of people.

It does need to have a side zipper put in, but otherwise, I don't think that there's not much one could do to make it look better on me.  I knew the style would be bad on me, but this is really bad.  Not like it mattered, she never took us shopping or asked what we would like to wear.

I sent a picture of myself in the dress to the bride and she was like "that dress is so gorgeous!  It looks like it needs to be taken in at your waist because I can't see your waist."  Ummm no... it fits my waist just fine.  It just emphasises the fact that I have a very boyish figure.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I told her it was just the style of the dress and she said I could change to a different dress after the grand entrance- gee, thanks for the permission. 

Oh and the fabric- it feels like a nylon tent.  I wore the dress for 15 minutes and by the time I took it off, parts of my body were red from the fabric irritating it.  It is the cheapest made dress I have ever seen- halloween costumes have better fabric.

  • Sorry Mel... I still can't believe she didn't take/ask you all what you felt comfortable wearing.

  • OMG! Is there a way you can wear a slip or something underneath to reduce the chafing? And I would for sure change after the grand entrance, lol!

    That's just terrible. Absolutely terrible. I am so sorry that she picked a dress you feel awful in. If I were a guest and saw a bridesmaid with a less than flattering dress on a bridesmaid, I would just think ill of the bride for doing that to her close friends and relatives. There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable and feeling bad about yourself because of a garment you are forced to wear. I have been there and resolved that when it was my turn to be the bride, I would never do that to my friends. I'm proud to say that I chose a dress each of them looks stunning in and is very figure flattering on my bigger and thinner girls. They each had to approve it before I chose the dress and they are very happy. I want everyone to feel great so they will party with me all night long! Can you get a great shaper that will help? I'd say go with some great dramatic makeup, or hair accessories that will draw peoples eyes upward and focus on your face. Yes, and definitely change ASAP!

  • Thanks for the sympathy, ladies!  I'm going to the tailor on Tuesday and I'm hoping that I'll look so forlorn that he will pull off a miracle!  I'll think about undergarments after I see what the tailor can do.  A big part of the problem with the fit of the dress is due to my scoliosis- because of that I can't wear shapers either.  I don't normally have to have clothes tailored because of my scoliosis because I know what styles work and don't work- this style just doesn't work!

  • Aw I'm really sorry to hear that I hope your tailor is able to do something so you feel comfortable.
  • I'm sorry. So very sorry. She sounds like a monster.
