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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML
Today, I was wedding dress shopping. My fiance is only paying for the dress if I buy a size 10 or under. I’m currently a size 18. Apparently, this will give me “incentive to get in shape for the wedding.” 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 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 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 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, 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
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

As long as you don't hold your 4 year old, I heard they've been unclipping dresses at weddings lately...

That is harsh of your mother, especially when it seems like the wedding is not too far off when you have been waiting months for just the dress to arrive. It would have been great if she told you ahead of time, and it seems like she didn't. I hope you will have enough time to lose the weight, although losing enough to fit into something 2 sizes smaller than your actual size is not easy to achieve overnight.

i feel your pain, my wedding is in two weeks so i know how stressful it already is and your mom is just being a b****. just for other posters info - wedding dress sizes are completely different than regular dress sizes. for example the sample size of a wedding dress is usually a size 8; in normal dress sizes that equals about a size 4. so if you are naturally an 8 you'd probably be a wedding dress size 12, if you were an 18 you'd be a 24, etc. also, generally you cannot return a wedding dress - if it's impossible to lose the weight she will probably have to sell the dress for less than she paid for it and then rush to find a new one. Good luck OP!

They only have 8s in the store? How are you supposed to know if you will look nice in something if it could swamp you or not fasten?

Wedding dresses use European sizing. Learned that from my wife. It's odd that wherever you went only had one size of sample though, I was forced to sit through the bridesmaid dress style selection and they had all sorts of wedding gown sizes in that store.

If it's too big or too small they use clips so that it looks like it fits. Then they measure how much needs to be added/removed and order a dress from there. Then you have several dress fittings and alterations once the dress comes in.

Actually, the average woman's size is 14 in America... O.O But your mom is mean. :/
