Bridesmaid Dress Shopping FAIL

OhSewCrafty

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

This past weekend I went up to DC to visit my best friend and go bridesmaid dress shopping for her wedding (which is next April). She was SUPER excited to hear about our LO on the way and was super supportive about me trying on dresses and trying to figure out a good size (I can assume that I'll lose a bunch of weight in the four months after I have the baby, but who the heck knows what shape my already big tatas will be in!)

The part I didn't realize about this weekend was that her mother AND sister were coming too. Awesome part? Her sister is a size 0/2 and her mom has no problem pointing out flaws. 

Dress after dress, her mom kept questioning whether it would look "right" on me if I wasn't "skinny enough" by the wedding. Miss size 2 (who, for the record, was super supportive of my bloated ass trying on dresses) is definitely the odd ball out of the BMs (everyone else is about my size), but since it was just the two of us she looked like a twig and I looked like a house....bloat poking out from under the empire waists and all.

Sad day. My friend knows that it'll all be okay, but thanks to her mother, I've honestly never been so embarassed about my body in my entire life.

Round #2 of BM dress shopping is in June (when I'm about 14 weeks) when all the bridesmaids get together. Should be interesting...

I'm sorry That does not sound like a fun visit.

I'm a snarky b*tch though and I totally would have called the mom on it. I am doing everything I can think of to keep my body image in a positive light. Other women not on board with my efforts can bite me.
