The bride has gone off the 'zilla deep end, and the sister (OP) has no backbone.  It's on the Attire board, so the poor girl is going to get some seriousy bad advice...
This is a neglected planning bio.
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Poor girl.  Can you imagine making your pregnant sister plan your wedding?  And then being a royal 'zilla to her about the dress?  I think this bride could get on tv.

    I can't imagine even attempting to go along with that if I were the pregnant sister.

    I'd love my sibling but there's no way I'd buy anything other than a maternity item if I was due 3 weeks before the wedding.

    This is the sort of behavior that creates newlywed loneliness because the bride has no friends after her wedding day.

    It's really unfortunate, but I've had many friends talk about how they couldn't wait for their friend's wedding to be over so the bridal shenanigans would be finished.

    As I said in my post, I'll bet my bottom dollar that she insists on specific hair, nail color, jewelry as well, and makes the women pay for it too.  It's amazing to me how women become crazy people over a party.  A very important party, to be sure, but a party!

     At no other time in anyone's life do their friends and family  become set decoration.  How sad that for many women, weddings have become a license to be mean and demanding.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    I'm not sure if I wanted to slap the bride or the poster who was defending her (all the while denying that she was doing so).  But I wanted to applaud saisongbird for her response.  I don't know what it is about getting married that makes some women think they're suddenly exempt from the basic rules of friendship and decency, but it's really sad.
