So as some of you know, I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my FSIL's wedding in the fall. She just sent us a picture of the bridesmaid dress, and honestly, I don't really care what it looks like besides the fact that the style of it is just terrible for my body.
She didn't take any of her bridesmaids shopping with her for the dresses, but she asked us what style of Indian dress we wanted. Me and this other girl wanted a sari, but this one other girl really didn't want a sari because it can show your stomach a little on the side. I wanted a sari because I have severe scoliosis, so anything that is fitted through the waist looks crooked on me and is very uncomfortable because it never actually fits right.
She ended up getting a dress that is completely fitted through the waist and I'm just afraid it's going to look dreadful on me and that it's going to be physically painful for me all day. And I'm not going to see the dress until the wedding day because it's being made and altered where she lives and will never be fitted to me (or to anyone actually). I guess this is normal for Indian bridal wear.
FSIL was going crazy trying to find two different styled dresses in the same fabric. I suggested that maybe we all wear different dresses that were all the same color, but different fabric, and she honestly thought I was nuts.
I guess my question is, do I keep my mouth shut and look horrible in this dress for her wedding? Can I ask if I can change for the reception? That is common in Indian weddings, but she wasn't planning on it for hers.
