Today, I finally found a cute dress that hugged my curves and hid my imperfections. I wore it to my friend's house, and was feeling pretty good about myself, until some pregnant woman walked into the room wearing the exact same thing. It was a maternity dress. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went shopping at a thrift store. I found a really cute top that fit me perfectly, so I bought it. Afterwards, I noticed the original tag was still on it. It read: "designed with your pregnancy in mind". It was a maternity top. FML
Slay, queen!
Today, I went to buy my prom dress. I felt really good as I walked out of the dressing room, until someone walked out of the room next to me wearing the same dress, and looked better in it than I did. It was a man buying it for his drag show. FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house, and I asked if I could try on one of her dresses. It was a little snug, but I got it on. When it came time to take it off though, it wouldn't budge. My friend and her mom had to cut it off me. FML
Mind your beeswax, Karen
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Cruising
Today, I was wearing a new $500 dress on a crowded train. I looked great and I could feel the eyes on me. A cute guy then offered me his seat, only boosting my confidence more until he said "for you and the baby," pointing at a bump in my dress. I'm not pregnant and wasted $500. FML
Today, my sister and I got fitted for bridesmaid's dresses. It was pretty sheer material, so I took off my bright pink thong and left it on the changing room hanger. As I was looking at myself in the mirror, a woman came out of the room holding my thong. She had tried it on. FML
Today, I bought a nice new dress for a work party, but when I went to it, a coworker hurried me into the bathroom saying, "Don't worry we can fix this." She thought someone had been sick on me. Thanks. That was just the pattern of the dress. FML
Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML

It still fit and it was cute. Everyone is built differently. Don't try to force yourself to look a certain way.

Are you sure its a maternity dress? because some pregnant ladies don't need maternity clothes. I still wear my maternity clothes even though i have lost all my baby weight. You can't tell at all, so if you like the dress and it fits you nice wear it anyway.

Borderline rude jokes - nothing compared to outright raw insult jokes. Any fans out there?

I don't think anyone in this thread understood #1. It wasn't a borderline rude joke, and he doesn't have to read the FML again. Jesus, people...

I think 1 was referring to the pregnant woman. If she's not too late in her pregnancy, she might not be as large as OP makes her out to be. There's a big difference between being 5 months and 8 months pregnant.

I personally thought he was referring to the fat-baby, but maybe that's just me.

Haha #1 comments on here are subjected to heavier scrutiny than the presidential debates

Yeah, and maybe it wasn't necessarily a maternity dress. Loose floppy things seem to be in style, at least where I am, so maybe the pregnant lady was just wearing one of those. Either way, that's no reason to lose your confidence.

Not only what 2 and 7 said, but some maternity dresses are designed to be for both pregnant and non-pregnant women. If it had an empire waist drawstring it was probably meant to double.
MDTeddy 13
Maternity? They only say that because women want to cover their pregnant body. They can wear anything to do that so I donkt see the difference.

Maternity clothes don't cover up that your pregnant

30- maternity clothes are made so that pregnant woman will be comfortable because they already have enough aches and pains to worry about. They don't want to "hide" the fact that they're preganant.

hey, if you rocked that dress, then you rocked it! keep in mind, not many people can rock those kinds of dresses (either maternity or the one that's meant for both maternity and non) I know I can't! I look like I've gained a ton of weight, and not even the pregnant type of weight, just weight. they look terrible on me. everyone is made differently, be proud you found what types of clothes you look ******* awesome in! sometimes that's hard for people to do!

If it looked good, then why does it matter if it was a maternity dress? I bought a comfortable pair of pants once, only to later discover they are maternity pants. Didn't bother me...they're the comfiest pants I own! And they keep my belly warm in winter :D

Exactly, why make yourself miserable?? Wear it, if you like it.

I would sometimes borrow my mothers maternity clothes when I was 13 and she was pregnant, and I was a pretty skinny 13-year-old.
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Exactly. My mom was 8 months pregnant with me and still tiny, she didn't need maternity clothes. So the dress doesn't necessarily have to be a maternity dress...but either way, if it looks good on you, who cares?
crymore007 11
I want to know who the pregnant lady was! it says she went to her friends house but called the lady just "some lady"...
randomthing 22
So what? If it looks good on you - keep it.
TayonaC 10
So what. If it makes you feel confident it shouldn't matter. Besides, who is going to find out?

I love the phrase "hugged my curves"! Never heard it before.

Those dresses are super cute. I'm curvy too and I always want to buy one. Wear it proud. :)

Most clothes have a maternity variation. So don't worry, she had the maternity one and you didn't
doodlecloud 27
...whilst this is a nice thought, is this actually true? I don't think I've EVER been in a shop that does a normal and maternity version of a garment. Unless you just meant that similar style garments exist. Anyone care to explain to me?

no

It's probably called, you know, a joke. But it would be pretty awesome to have that. Just like I wish they'd have adult versions of some kids clothes.

Actually, even if she was just being rude or whatever she's right some clothing lines have the same clothes for pregnant and non pregnant women. I have a pair of YMI shorts I got before I got pregnant. When I decided to buy maternity clothes I found the same YMI shorts with a maternity waist band instead of the regular button and zipper...
Spectre529 12
No it wasn't a joke. There are some clothing lines that have the same thing just in maternity sizes
xNephilim 19
Oh. Sorry. I just kind of figured that you'd meant it as a joke, because you said *most* clothing lines have a maternity and a regular version... And that's kind of not true. Sorry again.
