FINDING a wedding dress that ticks all the boxes can be a challenge.
But one bride-to-be’s first dress fitting was a flop and now she is torn.
Bad turned to worst when the bridal assistant told her to “quit eating burgers.”
The beleaguered bride, due to marry in November, took her dilemma to Reddit and she found little consensus there.
However, commenters were mostly kind and sympathetic.
She explained her dress drama and her misgivings.
“I just had my first fitting today and I think my dress is too small,” she said.
“Even the bridal assistant told me ‘just don’t gain any weight.'”
She was unsure about the dress anyway, but comments about weight didn’t help.
“I worry that I look frumpy in the dress, and being told ‘no more burgers’ was disheartening,” she wrote.
“I love the dress but the front seems so frumpy,” she said.
Commenters suspected she wanted an honest answer, and that’s what she got.
“I feel like the dress is definitely wearing you in these photos. I’m not sure if it’s too tight or what’s happening, but it does make you look frumpy,” was the view of one person.
“I feel like a lot of reactions are just people being nice. It looks frumpy and messy. If this wasn’t the look you were going for when buying the dress, raise hell,” wrote another Redditor.
“You have to watch your food? You have such a beautiful figure. This dress doesn’t show that. Go with your gut feeling. You should feel relaxed and happy on your special day,” they added.
“My first thought was ‘that thing is engulfing her,'” was the opinion of another Reddit user.
But many said, that with a few adjustments, this dress could be lovely.
“It looks fine as it is, but it will look amazing with the proper foundation garments,” said one fan.
“I don’t see a dress that doesn’t fit you. It is beautiful,” wrote a second.
It’s all down to body shape, said this person.
“My guess would be it looks frumpy because you have got large breasts, which means heavy and the dress doesn’t look like it has an internal structure to support that and the dress is being dragged down by your breasts.”
But there was a solution to this, said another Redditor.
“You need more structure and support for your bust. Once that gets sorted you’re going to look hot.”
