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 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, 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
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, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. 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 bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Today, I finally told my mom that it hurts me every time she calls me fat. She got offended that I'm offended. Now our whole entire extended family wants me to say sorry to her and them, because apparently they also call me fat behind my back. I'm a size small by the way. FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, I was trying on wedding dresses with my future sister-in-law who is a little bigger than me. We tried on a similar dress and she said it looked better on me because I'm skinny. Instead of saying, "No way" or "It looks great on you", I accidentally said, "Yeah, I know." 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

Better now than at the wedding.

Honesty is the best policy. She could've been nicer about it, but you can still try on plenty more dresses to find the one you LOVE instead of the one you LIKE ;)

Every time I watch those shows of wedding dresses. I always think, why do you bring people with you? Every single time they people you bring will make you feel like shit and whatever you really like is overshadow by what they want. Go alone and get what you want, after all it is your big day, no one else's.

Well, it's good to know other people's honest oppinion, but there's no need to be rude :/

Your mom is a dick.

Maybe she was just trying to help, I suppose everyone's entitled to their opinion, but at the end of the day it's your wedding and your husband.

It's more important that you're happy with it. If you like it, and you like how you look in it, go for it

Tact. Does ANYONE still have it? Sorry, OP, your mom has a rude way of expressing. (But, honestly, it IS best to know about the dress before buying it, rather than be humiliated in an ill-fitting garment in front of G@d and everyone.)

She should have been nicer about it, but it is good that she was honest about it. Sometimes we don't see clearly about things we have too many emotions tied to.

If she is going to talk to you like that then you should ban her from the wedding. Yes she's your mom, but you don't want her to ruin your big day.
