Bridal Shower Dress Disaster

Kelsey, on June 18, 2019 at 16:42 Posted in Before the wedding 0 15

So my bridal shower is coming up in a couple weeks and I went out to find a dress to wear. First thing you should know is that I HATE wearing dresses - I don't know how to sit like a lady, my thunder thighs rub together and I just don't like the way they look on me. I have decided to wear a dress for my bridal shower though, so I set out looking. I found this pretty white maxi dress at Winners and thought it was perfect because it would be great for the hot weather and I actually feel comfortable in it. I showed my bridesmaids and my mom and everyone literally hates it....UGHHHHH. So I tried to find another one but plus size white dresses are in short supply apparently LOL.

Should I try to find something else? Or should I tell everyone to leave me alone with my "ugly" dress?

    Wear what you feel comfortable in! If you don't like wearing dresses, DON'T WEAR ONE. There are so many great looking pantsuits or one-pieces that you could wear and feel great in! You could even do a really nice top with fancy pants to change it up a bit Smiley smile

    That's such a cute dress on you! I love the Grecian vibe

    It's cute, it's comfortable, it's good with the heat...sounds like it ticks all the boxes. If you like it, wear it! That "Heck yeah! I look good!" confidence clothing gives you always amps the beauty of every outfit, so make sure you wear something you're going to enjoy. Everyone else can stuff it.

    First and foremost I think it's important that you are comfortable! It may be a long day, and everyone is going to want pictures of you so wear what you want, be it your "ugly" (which it's not) dress or capris or whatever is comfortable for you.

    Like everyone else says I agree wear what you feel comfortable in. I personally really love that dress tho.

    Side note- deodorant if your thighs rub together, that's my trick anyway.

    Wear anything you like. If you like that dress, it looks great and you should wear it. If you want to wear pants so you feel more like you, do that! Just like any other day, don't let someone else dictate how you dress

    Wear whatever you want! Its your party!!

    I'm not even wearing white. I'm personally not into the whole "I'm the bride. So I wear white to every event" thing lol. Our BBQ shower is this Sunday, and I'm wearing a yellow dress with polka dots.

    If dresses aren't your thing, don't wear one

    Wear what you are comfortable in!! I am sorry to hear they can't support what you are wearing and critizing it when they know its been hard for you to find something you like. I would wear what you are happy in. You have to sit infront of bunch of people and I know I have been trying to find something longer for that reason

    That dress looks awesome on you!
    And, it’s perfect for hot weather. If you feel good in it, wear the dress. If not, wear what you love.

    Wear whatever you feel comfortable in! If you aren’t a dress person don’t feel like you need to wear one. Like Tori said do a T-shirt in white and a nice pair of jeans and heels. Kelsie also made a good comment that jumpsuits are in!
    At the end of the day it’s your shower and whatever you feel comfortable in!

    Do you like this dress? If you do then wear it! It looks cute on you and you can't please everyone, so you might as well be happy.

    I agree with Tori - if you do not like dresses, do not wear one. Wear something you feel comfortable in. You are the bride! You get to wear whatever you want! Smiley smile

    I really like jumpsuits right now! Maybe something like that might interest you?

    You don't look happy in your dress! Find what best fits you for your bridal shower despite what is being said. Feel comfortable in what you would choose for your outfit and be happy rather than miserable. There is a dress that suits you and be happy in what you wear. That is how I see you truly.

    If dresses aren't your thing - don't wear one!!! Be yourself! If I didn't like wearing dresses then I would try and find white pants and a white shirt or a shirt that said Fiancée or Future Mrs. on it Smiley smile Nobody is going to judge you for not wearing a dress; I doubt anybody will even notice!
