October 2012 Weddings

I think I might kill my FSIL.

Her dress doesn't fit. It is 5 inches too small around the back and she's just now trying it on. The dress came in the last week in July and when she picked it up she said "I know I've gained weight, I'm going to have to loose like 10-15 lbs."

She texts me this afternoon and says it's too small and that the store must have ordered the wrong size. I checked all the sizes when I picked up the dresses and they were all fine. The other three girls were measured by the same woman and their dresses fit.

She's now called the store and b!tched them out and am trying to get them to pay for her alterations when she's the one who gained weight. All her other clothes have gotten tight, but apparently the dress is an exception and should magically be larger.

This is the same BM who bailed on my other BMs when they met to plan the shower and has tried to make the entire wedding about her. I might kill her if one more thing happens.

Re: I think I might kill my FSIL.

  • that's awful!!!
    i hate procrastinators and that would drive me nuts.  what are you going to do?
  • I told her to have the seamstress turn the dress into a corset back since most of the other girls have a corset and it will look fine.

    She says she can't afford that alteration and since it has to be hemmed a fair bit (she's really short) they're going to take that material and open up the sides of the dress and add in panels.

    This coming from the girl who still lives at home with her mom and has lots of money to buy shoes, take trips and buy her BF gifts. I know it's her money and she can spend it any way she wants but the dress needs to look right.

    I'm just not having a good day.

  • I think there's a disease amoung future sisters-in-law. My FI's SIL (his brother's wife) has been a raging pain-in-the-ass, too. She deliberaetly dragged her feet getting her girls dresses ordered (they are flower girls), after having screamed at me for mentioning when the store said the order-by date was, and now they won't be in until October 12th. If they don't fit and can't get altered in time, it's on her dumb butt.

  • I'm so glad you guys are here. Between my grandmother, cousins and now this I really think I might kill someone today.

  • I have a BM who says her dress is too short and has complained since she found out 2 weeks ago but has yet to actually go visit a seamstress and get it fixed. I agree, so frustrating.
  • OMG I'm so sorry that's happening, I would be seriously pissed OFF, go you for not majorly flipping out...although, if you did, not sure you could be blamed for it ;-)

    At this point nothing surprises me with FSIL. Shes has turned out to be the biggest PITA when it comes to the wedding and all the other BMs pretty much hate her.

    I managed to keep my cool (I think). I try to remember when I'm dealing with her that she's going to be family and I will have to deal with her the rest of my life so I shouldn't flip out. It's my mantra.

  • It sounds like it'll be a blessing if she fails to have her dress in order, and has to drop out of the BP.

    Sorry you're going through this
