27 Dresses - Wedding Dress Tess

[@billiebuffalo]

If Tess was an only child, she would have every right to customize her mother's dress, but the fact that there was a complete disregard for her OLDER sister is the knife in the back.

[@TheRealDeal92]

Very true about a knife in the back. I know if I was an only child, I would wear my mother’s dress no matter what. I would maybe do one or two alternations, nothing major but keep it the way it is because of it being my mother’s dress. Tess would never officially wear her mother’s dress, all because it was old fashion. That is one of the saddest parts about Tess in this scene.

[@yogalover2753]

It would have been wrong regardless of whether she was an only child or not, one or two minor altercations would have been ok ( if Jane is ok with it which I'm sure she would have been ok with just two minor altercations) but Tess went overboard on it. This isn't just about the fact that there was disregard for Jane but she should have thought about how their mother would have felt if she knew what Tess did. Yes I know that their mother is dead but still.

[@immasavage341]

The dress was given to her, it’s not like her Sister’s gonna wear the same wedding dress.. I mean why would anyone wanna wear the same dress her sister wears to her wedding? Regardless it’s her moms dress, it was given to her.. I don’t get it, it’s not her fault that she was given the dress so why can’t she make any adjustments?

[@megandurrant4000]

@@immasavage341 she did not make adjustments. She cut her mothers dress into tiny little bits. Then only used a teeny part of it.

[@criznueve]

@Imma Savage stop! It doesn’t matter if Jane knew or that Tess didn’t. The fact of the matter is that dress is not just a fabric but represents one of the most happiest time of their mother’s. The moment she married the love of her life- their father! This was THEIR memory not to be cut up in pieces to be used as an accessory. That is not what their parents love was about. But Tess is too selfish and narcissistic - which is why she doesn’t truly love George but sees him as an accessory to her lifestyle.

[@kimberlyterasaki4843]

I still don't understand why they tried to "redeem" her at the end of this movie; she was not a good person and she didn't show one ounce of remorse until the script demanded it.

[@cakebeforeheartbreak]

Kimberly Terasaki exactly

[@yogalover2753]

I think they redeemed her because she realized that she needs to be less selfish before she deserves a guy like George.

[@CelticRuneSinger]

@@yogalover2753 only cause the script demanded it

[@tonita88]

I think it makes the villain (Tess) a round character. You know some people in real life are self-centered and have no qualms about lying about themselves but it's also motivated by insecurities and fears, the same exact things Jane the protagonist deals with. It makes for a nice character arc for Tess to also realize things for herself because it means Jane's example of how she finally took control over her own life makes an impact on others.

[@arnigx]

There is 1 year of time skip in the end of this movie, sister.... ^^

[@Jackie-McCann]

“You wouldn't hurt a fly and you definitely wouldn't hurt me, I'm your sister.” “That was yesterday. Today you're just some bitch who broke my heart and cut up my mother's wedding dress.” Tess totally had what was coming to her. She’d been taking advantage of Jane’s kindness throughout the entire movie, and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

[@PapaLobo94]

For real. And to think: there are actual women that do this to their friends/siblings just to get the man of their dreams

[@EboniKing-m1l]

It's just a movie. She shouldn't have wanted a man whom chose her sister. And she found out after all those years he couldn't kiss. And she didn't want him anyway

[@Azuwu23]

and not only that but the fact that when we first meet tessa she literally CALLED HER MOMS DRESS UGLY she never caref

[@EboniKing-m1l]

@@Azuwu23 The dress was ugly compared to her personality and style. It was old fashioned. Jane was trying to put on an act to get a man's attention. This why he didn't notice. And tess was being herself when he noticed. And then she tried to become someone different to equal up to him. Like she doesn't eat meat either. I'm a vegetarian. I'm not thinking when I meet my husband to be he's gone be a vegetarian. He's gone cook his food though. So eventually he'll convert. Did anyone notice at the end of the movie at the wedding. Tess and George reintroduce themselves. I pray for everyone salvation, protection, and restriction

[@Azuwu23]

@@EboniKing-m1l yeah literally, but it’s still the fact that she knew that jane cared deeply for the dress no matter how it looked so it was really a big betrayal especially since it was her own sister. and then she didn’t tell jane that she was altering the dress too, especially since she told jane when she was first given the dress that she could wear it afterwards. so that does kind of cross out tessa personality in the dress part. since they don’t talk about it in the movie (i’m binging it right now) i’m assuming that maybe they talked about sharing the dress in the past.

[@baked_alaska]

One thing that really hits me about the dress is that Tess only took like two tiny pieces of the original dress and left the rest of it in pieces. She basically destroyed her mother's wedding dress for parts and left Jane the remains, knowing damn well that she wanted to wear the dress in full. Bitch.

[@mush94]

That's what I don't get. People don't understand that Tess took two tiny pieces from a fully functional dress and created an entire stupid excuse of it being old fashioned. Tess didn't have to cut up the entire dress to get those two pieces. That narcissist did it on purpose. When I saw Jane's face my heart sank, worst when her sister made it clear the pieces she used. Like bruh, how dare you tell your sister that you didn't leave a dress but some pieces of the wedding dress for her. Right now am livid because people defending Tess talking about she didn't know Jane's wishes. FOR GOODNESS SAKE THE SISTER SPENT THE ENTIRE MOVIE PLANNING JANE'S DREAM WEDDING FOR HERSELF.

[@PapaLobo94]

If you ask me, Tess LEGIT needed to be bitch slapped by Jane for what she did (besides the revealing slideshow)

[@allisonthorson1682]

My mom wore her mother's (my grandmother's) wedding dress. I loved that dress... But I lived out of the country my whole life. My elder cousin also loved that dress. I came back to the country for her wedding... she chopped off majority of it and didn't say a word to me. I always wonder if its because its my Grandmother's so she gets first say... but I'm.pretty sure it being passed down to my mom means I have a say too. Was very heartbroken for a while

[@Loyalty80]

⁠@@allisonthorson1682my assumption from what I believe is that once your grandmother gave the dress to your mother it was then up to your mother to decide on who should wear the dress next. I’m guessing your cousin asked your mom? Either way I’m so sorry you were unable to wear what you wanted.

[@SuperSelina18]

I don't know what's worse, Tess lying to George or cutting up her late mother's dress.

[@TheRealDeal92]

Selina Maturino They are both pretty close. But as a personal matter for Jane was the dress compared to George. She wanted to wear her mother’s dress for as long as she could remember, then Tess goes to have it all cut up just because it was so old fashion. As for George, she cares for him very much that she will tell him the truth about her own sister, causing them to break up and to cancel the wedding, etc. They are both pretty close but the dress tops it off because of how personal it was.

[@LilyZerep]

I go with the dress. Jane from the very beginning wanted to wear it and it meant more to her. I'm honestly surprised Tess didn't go out and buy a wedding dress.

[@yogalover2753]

The dress definitely tops it off because of how personal it was and because of how sad this scene was.

[@PapaLobo94]

Both, to be honest. I’m not a woman, but I can understand/respect the sentiment about the mother’s wedding dress and why Jane finally told Tess off. But lying to someone just to date them and not giving a damn about it either? That’s something else. Jane said it best: you can’t start a relationship based on lies. All forms of relationships must be transparent, honest, and respectful, among other things; throw one of those out of the equation, all Hell will break loose

[@SailorV1234]

As a person who won’t get the chance (I wouldn’t fit in hers even if she still had it) I’m gonna go with a tie. You CAN’T have a relationship built on lies. A lot of my previous ones have and the break ups were horrific to my self esteem.

[@avasifton6245]

What makes this more selfish and heartless is the fact that Tess KNEW Jane wanted to wear their moms dress on her wedding day, but went and cut it up without asking or letting her know anyways. Back when they first brought the dress out, Tess asked, “it’s okay right? I mean I know you wanted to wear this, but I’m getting married first so...” then she only used freaking SCRAPS of it! Just buy a whole new dress if your gonna do that! She did that on the casino too (place of the wedding) instead of asking what Jane thought, she just flat out tells her, “yep! I’m doing it here now! That’s okay right? I mean I know you wanted to, but I already rented it out, so you can’t really say anything...” The fact that Tess knew all of these things means, Jane probably talked about it a lot as a kid to her, and was obviously much closer to their mom since she died while Tess was just a little kid, so it was much more meaningful to Jane..... And then she just freaking cuts it up!!😡

[@yogalover2753]

I completely agree but this still would have been wrong even if she did ask for Jane's permission. This also isn't just about the disregard for Jane either, Tess also disregarded how it would make their mother feel if she knew what she did. Yes I know that their mom is dead but it's still something that she should have thought about.

​@@yogalover2753 think of what her father would have thought. He gave her that dress in good faith. What would she have said to him when he saw what she did?

[@criznueve]

I could never believe that Tess truly loved George. She only saw him as an accessory to her lifestyle. Similar to how she cut up her mother’s wedding dress to accessorize her own. She sees people and things she can cut up and use. Like what she does to her dad, sister, the boy and everyone around her. She was narcissist and selfish. I hated how the movie tried to redeem her and made Jane practically grovel.

[@meejoohwang8494]

I don’t think Jane groveled, but people like Tess are insecure…and even greedy, maybe even desperate. Tess’s life may have looked perfect because she’s gorgeous and popular with the guys. But her life didn’t turn out the way she wanted and had to come back home. Then George seemed like a genuine person, someone way different compared to the other guys she have dated in the past is my guess. It was very wrong of her to lie to George to keep him (more work for her btw), and she completely destroyed mom’s wedding dress knowing that Jane wanted more than anything to wear it on her own wedding day in memory of her and to somehow include her on her special day. This never will justify what Tess did…but Tess wanted to be someone George respected. She somehow knew deep down the kind of girl a guy like George would want and she wanted to be that for him, even if it meant she had to lie

[@kerriethompson2073]

Tess was such a brat! Jane had every right to be pissed at her!

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

I hated Tess and can't believe they tried to redeem her. It's bad enough she lied to George but to cut up and destroy their mother's dress and then to hand Jane the parts she didn't want was incredibly selfish and nasty. I would never speak to my sister again if she behaved in such a way Tess was a selfish and spoilt little brat who only cares about herself.

[@yogalover2753]

To be honest I agree because Tess was very selfish. It's bad enough that she lied to George but to cut up their mother's dress and hand Jane the parts she didn't want was very selfish of her. Jane's dream was to wear her mother's dress to her wedding not seeing it get destroyed by her younger sister.

[@foxflowersmoon4169]

Morgan Britt their dad was more of a prop to show how much Jane had to take on because dad wasn’t going to be there for them so Jane became a parent and their dad never stepped in and spoiled Tess to try and make up for it.

It sure was. But then again, when you think about it, Tess had to LIE to George to get him to like her, heck propose to her! She cheated. Jane obviously has much more class than Tess. And just when Tess thought she had it all, everything blew up in her face. Secrets can’t stay secrets for long.

The horror and realisation on Jane’s face really made the scene. And Tess showed no remorse or regret after cutting up their mother’s dress. Bit of a story to share: My mother borrowed her cousin’s wedding dress for her big day back in the 80’s. She wore it as a maternity bridal gown as she was expecting my sister. We stored it away in our loft and now that her cousin’s daughter is getting married this year, we’ve returned her mother’s dress to her to do as she wishes with it. As I will be getting married one day, I couldn’t bear to have cut up what didn’t rightfully belong to me or my mother in the first place 🤍
