Today, my dad informed me that my prom dress makes me look chubby from the side, gives me "back fat", and that I wouldn't want to go to prom looking like that. I tried to ignore his hurtful comments and tell myself I was beautiful. Then the clasp broke. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML
Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML
Today, I asked my parents if the outfit I was wearing made me look fat. My mom looked at me and paused for a while; my dad said, "Honey, that outfit doesn't make you look fat. Your fat makes you look fat." FML
Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML
Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML

Maybe you should listen to your father's advice for a change instead of categorically ignoring him just because it makes you feel better. He could've just said "DAAAAAMN!" But it sounds more like he was trying to be helpful rather than hurtful.

It does not make sense to hate people and then immediately tell one of them that he/she is beautiful.

hey, it seems pretty likely that it was caused by the same thing that grabs so many people - don't buy clothing too small just because you physically are able to fit into it. buy sizes that fit you well and flatter you. I don't understand why people try to fit into a 10 instead of a 12, for example, if the 12 would look far better because it fits. you don't have to TELL someone that you're in a size 12 not a size 10 but you'll look far better if you shop to your size. if you buy too small, the only thing you'll achieve is looking silly - plus, nobody even knows you're wearing a size 10, plus if they did they'd just go 'lol it's too small'. hope that made sense. hope I don't seem like I'm being insulting!

Okay I get that he did the right the thing by telling his daughter she looked 'fat' bit at the same time he didn't do the right thing. He could have worded his comment differently and maybe said 'oh honey I think you might have gotten a size to small by accident' or 'just a little more working out and you'll look even better in that dress. They're's a when and a way to say everything.

According to your FML, OP, you shouldn't have felt hurt at all by what your dad said. "...my prom *dress* *makes* me look chubby from the side, *gives* me 'back fat'..." From what he said, it's the dress's problem. Feel hurt for choosing the wrong size/shape, perhaps. But sometimes our choices suck, and your dad isn't being hurtful by telling you you made a mistake. It sounds like he rescued you from taking your shopping screw-up with you to the prom! Mend your error, and it'll all be fine. Thank your dad, also. He deserves it.

Odds are he was trying to help, guys aren't always good about how they say things like that. The key words there would be that he was blaming the dress, meaning he doesn't necessarily think you're fat, he thinks the dress is the wrong size. Even if you are bigger, the right fit of dress isn't going to make it look bad, it's going to flatter the right areas.
