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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

What if she's an endangered white rhino? Why not stick with remotely likely scenarios?

It doesn't even matter what size she is!!! Her mum did something incredibly stupid and cruel! She may have just ruined her own daughters wedding day!

I'd rescind her invite as an 'incentive' to get me a new dress in the right size in time for the big day..

Mums an itchbay! She couldve at least dropped the hint before you went dress shopping. Maybe at the wedding reception, make your mum sit at the children's table.

I don't understand why your mother ordered your dress, OP. If you went to a bridal salon they would have taken your measurements there. If not, then you're just an idiot. Always try on important clothing.

Maybe she had tried it on in a store and the mom found a better price online and ordered it from there with the wrong size.

I'm sure she did try the sample on and get measurements but her mom probably told them to order it 2 sizes smaller since her mom is paying for the dress.

I know a few people whose parents have paid for the wedding dress, the mum has arranged the appointments for fittings and the actual ordering of the dress. It's not unusual. Most places will suggest ordering a size bigger and alter it because it's easier to make it smaller than it is bigger so the mum defiantly pulled a dick move there.
