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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Dude, you are scrawny. Pack on some muscle before you tell people you've never seen, to go on a diet.

Some maternity clothes are super cute, so I can't blame you for confusing them with 'normal' clothes. I personally can't wait to get pregnant so I can wear the maternity jeans with the stretchy material on top; they seem so comfortable! :)

Maternity clothes are not comfy! Pregnancy is the most uncomfortable you'll ever be! Trust me! Stick with your skinny jeans and crop tops!

How are skinny jeans more comfortable than maternity jeans? I've been through two pregnancies and the pants that have the big stretchy bands are the best ever. They aren't tight and make it easier to move around even though pregnancy isn't a particularly comfortable time.

34- That's what I was thinking. I know pregnancy won't be comfortable, but at least the clothes will be. :) To be honest I've considered buying the stretchy pants now, even though I'm not chubby. I figure they're more comfortable than regular jeans no matter what!

They are! No risk of muffin top, no zipper and they're perfect for those "sweat pant days" lol. You can look good and be comfy. Only downside is they can be expensive. Like one pair from Motherhood Maternity can be $50. :/

My work pants are maternity pants... I decided not to spend a shitload of money on khakis and all that and instead went to Goodwill. Grabbed a random pair that looked to be about my size, tries them on, and fell in love. It's like wearing pajama pants to work. It's AWESOME. Oh and it depends on what kind of skinny jeans you get. I have a pair that are super comfy because they're really stretchy and then another pair is super stiff. All depends on why you buy.

everyone is shaped differently. if you felt you looked good in your dress, that's all that matters.

Size doesn't matter, I'm sure you're still beautiful anyways <3

Eh, who cares, as long as it looks good and you like it? :D

It really doesn't matter. A lot of "maternity" clothes you don't have to be pregnant to wear. I accidentally bought a maternity dress when I was in 7th grade, and it looked really good on me!

Sounds like someone needs to lose some weight.
