my best friend told me my wedding dress is ugly?

Question

Davids Bridal 2295E.....Why would she say this to me

i didnt ask her opinion...she went with me to my fitting and when I came out she said that

I didnt even ask for her opinion

Answer 1

She is either very bluntly honest, or very evily jealous. I think its the second thing. Best friends, are usually the ones that get jealous the most. So i wouldnt even worry.

I dont know what kind of dress it is, but if you picked it, must be bloody beautiful, and your NUMBER ONE CHOICE - so why would you even get bothered by what others say.

I think you should reconsider the value or state of your "best" friendship. If i wer your best friend, i would never tell you your dress is ugly. I would point out other dresses or find little "bad" things in one you picked, but never say such cruel thing.

She is an evil jealous biiaaatch. Heheh tell her ok, thanks for your opinion, but did you know jelaousy is a curse?

Answer 2

Probably just jealous you didn't ask her to be in the wedding or the sheer fact that she isn't getting married and having a big day any time soon. So she figures she will poke fun at you while she still can. I say tune her out or at the very least say you have finally found someone that loves you, as opposed to being a one night stand unlike some people. Lol, I'm sure she wouldn't have much to say to that one.

P.S. Another good thing to say to her is "Its not what the dress looks like but its the sexy lingere and body underneath it that is what is getting all the attention after the wedding." Can't say much to that either.

Answer 3

It's probably just a difference in style! I think that dress is beautiful... it's not similar to the one that my wife wore (which I think is amazing) but it depends on what YOU like... it is good to get others opinions, mostly from your close friends, but what matters most, is that YOU like it... because the wedding is the BRIDE's day mostly :) Unfortunately there's only a back view of your dress, but it's got a really cool train, and almost has that "tied corset" look to it, witch is cool too... I would definitely say it's NOT ugly... even if other people have different opinions, it's not a BAD, or UGLY dress... have fun, and enjoy your wedding... once it starts....it's a blur!

Answer 4

I think coming right out and saying it's "ugly" is a bit harsh, but you know what - I would appreciate honesty out of a friend. My best friend and I can go shopping, and she can be totally honest with me about the clothes I try on, saying that one looks horrible, or what not, I can do the same with her. I don't know if you've bought the dress or not yet - if you have, then that was a little harsh of her... if not, she was probably just trying to give her opinion... but could have done so in a nicer way.

Answer 5

Either she is the only one willing to tell you her honest opinion (but I looked at it online and I really like it). Or she is jealous or dealing with something emotional on her own and dragging you down. I would talk to her about it. She may in a rough place with relationships or jealous or something. Maybe she doesn't like the dress you picked out for her. I wouldn't just ignore it, you don't want her dragging negativity into your wedding. If you just ask her if she is okay with being a part of your wedding (if she is negative you may consider not inviting her, but beware of the bridge being burned)
Weddings should bring people together, not tear them apart.
The best way to deal with this kind of thing is opening and honestly, in private. Do what is best for you, keep your dress and love it!

Answer 6

This whole wedding thing brings out evil in lots of woman. Are you sure she's still a best friend? My supposedly best friend from childhood says the most evil things to me. She even flirted with my ex boyfriend in front of me. I guess what I'm saying is friends grow apart and that's okay. You may just need to bring someone else that really cares. Like your mother:) Or just buy another dress. I bought two and wore one for the ceremony and one for the reception.

There's also a way of saying things. I'm sure if you really said what was on your mind she'd be crying. Good Luck.

Answer 7

That was rude of her even if she didn't like it. I hope when she said it u ignored her, if she says it again wait until after the wedding to say something because the last thing u want to do is let someone get u upset while Ur planning Ur wedding. Unless she get to be too much to handle, but do let go of what she said about Ur dress.

When u talk to her don't hold back let her have it

Answer 8

This is the thing.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think the dress is cute not for me but nonetheless.. still cute. Maybe it was rude of your friend but me personally I expect my friends to tell me the truth if I am taking them wedding dress shopping with me, even if I dont ask. But all in all it is your day and so if you love and feel beautiful in it buy it. You make the dress the dress doesnt make you. Good Luck and Congratulations!!!

Answer 9

I actually trust my best firends opinion more then my own sometimes when it comes to clothes. She may have been giving you her honest opinion and didnt want you to regret your dress chocie later.

As her up front if she trully belives the dress didnt suit you and let her know in the future there are more approiate ways that are less hurtful to say that.

Answer 10

Why did you bring her to see it if you didn't want her opinion. The dress is definitely not something that would look good on everyone. There is a heck of a lot going on. . . tons of beading, halter neck,big tule skirt, bow in the back, ribbon along hem, trim on train. Is it possible that it doesn't flatter you and she is the only person being honest?

Answer 11

It's amazing how some people say things before thinking. I'm sure that's exactly what happened in this instance. It's your wedding, you are the bride......you choose the dress. I'm sure it's beautiful. It's such a memorable time in your life......try not to let others get you down! Good Luck!
