[@sweetpeatv8462]

You should have just replaced the zipper with a lace up

[@koffeenkiwi]

Honestly

[@roserogers3336]

She works at Buzzfeed. Why would she make a video on a logical well thought out decision?

[@khushi6522]

A Girl And Her Dragons ahlie

[@WrittenFromTheHeart.]

Here's me thinking the exact same thing the minute she said it couldn't zip it!!! Like it int rocket science!!

[@Challenger-pi2vm]

I was gonna say!! I think corset backs are sooo good. You never know how much your weight will fluctuate before your wedding and I feel like a lace up will be more forgiving

[@xDeydeyxtartelette]

"This was a very expensive dress" *proceeds to roll in bed and on the floor with the dress on, with a dog next to the mesh parts.

[@amrys19]

Deydey because buying a new dress takes months, even if you do return that dress, and going to the dry cleaners is like $50 and a week

[@mrs.hatfield1451]

Arrrggggg!! Exactly!!

[@srividhya4525]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paigedavis8198]

Exactly. I was like wow clearly it didn’t cost that much money if your rolling around on the bed.

[@18BDM]

Hahaha exactly!! My dress was expensive too and there was zero way I'd let that thing touch a floor (other than the train obviously).

[@nguyenminhphuong8438]

Who else was cringing like how she treated her "expensive" dress 😂

[@alzbetanagyova4015]

Lol no comments EXCEPT MEEEE

[@goochiedrea]

I'm so not okay with the way she approached this. She's a perfectly healthy weight, and now she feels the need to conform to a piece of fabric. Wow.

[@FatimaFatima-su2je]

Sis ur thinking way to deep, all she's doing is trying to fit into a dress because she doesn't wanna spend 3000+ on a dress. She's not anorexic all she's doing is trying to do is fit into a dress

[@mattk8460]

yeah lol she spent so much on the dress so she doesn't want too pay more

[@valentinaduvnjak4179]

looks like you got offended! it’s gonna be HER wedding day, to make HER feel good.. if she needs to loose a tiny bit of weight to fit into HER wedding dress... let HER make her own decision :)

[@katasoarusrex5357]

The end message is literally her saying she should’ve had the dress fit her instead of trying to lose weight to fit the dress??? Did you watch the video or just post your opinion after seeing the title?

[@emilydelamar4557]

Enchanted Slythern Yeah, just buy it a size bigger in advance and get it altered shortly before the wedding so you probably won't change much til the wedding then. No way I would put so much pressure on me for that one day and that one dress. Clothing has to fit you, not the other way around

[@elinor1968]

My first thought was why not just take out the zipper and put in some loops for a corset back.

[@elliekramer6026]

Elinor same

[@estherjohnson6019]

That's actually pretty smart

[@jaebreslin2851]

Elinor That would have been so cute!

[@SlavaZone]

It's a very common fix, it happened all the time on Say Yes to the Dress, and I know people who have done that. :)

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

I know someone who did it because they didn't have that much money and got a dress that was heavily discounted but about 1 or 2 sizes to small. Sewing in a bit of fancy lace trim and a corset back was what did the trick in the end and she even had a friend who could do it for her.

[@siriusgrey4847]

I spent so much money on the dress... rolls on the floor, let the dog stand on it.......

[@siriusgrey4847]

Ana Cano oh thank you

[@victoriaann6910]

I KNOW. That was really irritating me.

[@karissanichole5713]

THIS!!!

[@jfvb4054]

IKR I SAID THE SAME THING

[@Happy2011Girls]

IKR! that's just weird, she said that the dress was expensive yet there she is rolling on the floor like it was a hnm tees 😂

[@randomapple64]

Honestly, I don't understand why she wouldn't just get it altered right away, or better yet just get a size that fit in the first place. No one will know the size but you, and a dress that fits properly will be MUCH more flattering than a dress you can barely fit into..... and you will be more comfortable too, which is a huge bonus considering you'll be wearing it for a while.....

[@danedee]

It's because SHE knows what size her dress is. Its a confidence issue of some sort that plays in her mind that if she doesn't fit into a certain size, she won't be happy (the psychotherapist explained it at 5:10).

[@zurieadam1703]

She bought the size that she fit in in the store so she thought it would fit when she got it at home. The one she tried that fit was stretched out so hats why it didn’t fit when she got it.

[@wendysgobbo1638]

I feel like this sends a negative message to women and girls.

[@samiisage9491]

Wendy Sgobbo how so?

[@Lasopamuerte]

Did you watch the whole thing?

[@AllenTax]

For the weak yes. Grain of salt.

[@isabellabello]

Wendy Sgobbo *how. For wanting to be more healthy to fit in the dress she’s in love with???*

[@sheabaddiewitherbaddiefrien]

@@isabellabello shes healthy as is

[@gaillggl_collage6391]

All I could think of while watching this was (a) first plan of action should have been to see if it could be let out and (b) OMG!! She’s ruining that dress rolling around on the floor!!

[@Hessed3712]

[@itumakuwa4475]

i'm so nervous and anxious for her

[@TheAvaLady]

I work at a Bridal shop, 10/10 agree with the bridal shop lady. People refuse to buy the size they need, and go for a size smaller than they should

[@kendallpoorman6926]

Folks, as a recently married person, let me offer this to anyone in the universe who needs to hear it. Don’t diet before your wedding! Don’t buy a dress that’s even a single size too small in the hope that it will motivate you to lose X number of pounds. It won’t! It will cause you undue stress and anxiety (see this video as proof) and keep you from enjoying all the wonderful social aspects of planning and celebrating your upcoming wedding. Buy a dress that you love in a size that fits you comfortably and relax in the knowledge that you haven’t added he wildly unnecessary stress of dieting to your wedding planning process.

[@niab.3600]

Long story short... There was enough material in the dress so it could be let out. The end.

[@Angel-hu2sx]

Nia B. Thank yu so much 😔 🙄 She took forever lol.

[@rawrbecca2644]

Nia B. 10 minutes of my life I will never get back. I should have read the comments sooner.

[@Cherrypie210]

That’s the first thing I thought about...all clothes can be fixed...why don’t just fix the clothes first before all other stuffs

[@dontlookforme7666]

Nia B. Thank you

[@parallax4016]

Don't watch the video. She literally just has the dress let out at the end. This is the warning.

[@cararose8464]

Is anyone else worried that she’s making her wedding dress dirty?

[@franlvstyun]

Cara Rose YAAAAS, THE WHOLE VIDEOOO

[@jfvb4054]

IKRRRR

[@andreakrstevska8758]

omg literally, that dress is a leanne marshall design at around $2000, im crying

[@Vapor249]

For some odd reason a wedding dress is 2-3 sizes smaller than the number that you would find for your regular clothes. So a wedding dress 6 is actually a 3. I'm a 0-1, I ordered a 3 wedding dress. I knew this, and didn't care if the number was higher. NO ONE cares what the wedding dress size is. The only people who do is the wedding industry. The shop owner had the audacity of asking me if I was going to lose weight (which might explain the number manipulation, most brides apparently workout for their wedding) and I just laughed at her. Never tell anyone to lose weight, especially someone who would die doing it. There is nothing like life's milestones to make a woman feel awful, even as something as joyful as a wedding.

[@Starlight-kv7cd]

Vanessa Krauss I know it’s like who cares the size and everyone isn’t going to know the size unless you go around telling everyone the size

[@jackiedean6149]

It's actually the opposite. I was a size 0 and needed a size 4 wedding dress.

[@ellamills5716]

Jackie Dean but that’s exactly what she was saying

[@codywilliams2960]

this same thing happened to me with my prom, which was five years ago. i became obsessed with my weight so that i could fit into the dress of my dreams. 6 months later, i'd lost almost 100 lbs and had realized that i'd developed a very severe eating disorder. i was extremely unhappy during prom night. aspiring to be "beautiful" for one night led me to intensely battling an ed for years, causing me to lose years of my life that i should've spent focusing on things that would positively impact me. as someone who never imagined i'd be in recovery from an ed brought on by something so stupid such as a prom dress: don't let weight determine your happiness, because you'll never be happy with yourself if all you focus on is your 'goal weight'. focus on your happiness, which is a mix of emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. love yourself, because you absolutely deserve it!

[@stephanierey17]

I was cringing when I saw her treating it like it was nothing!

[@jfvb4054]

IKR THAT IS WHAT I SAID

[@eh7303]

This was a whirlwind.. 1. Crying because she can’t zip it up 2. Going on diets and losing weight 3. Talks with the lady about wedding dresses and why women get frustrated over the idea of not fitting in it 4. Still on diets and then realizes she doesn’t need to lose weight. She would have to remove a rib or so in order to fit. That’s a no go 5. Decided to speak with a psychiatrist and have her explain why she’s so obsessed with the idea of fitting in the dress (I don’t get why cause it’s irrelevant. You wanted to fit but failed to realize, hey, my ribs are right there not down near the floor) 6. FINALLY goes back to the damn alteration and gets her dress fixed. Girl you could’ve saved time and money by getting that dress fixed or returning and ordering a new size/sell it and go get a new one as a fast fix. 😪

[@Komenter]

Sen Sen yeah but would that make a video people would watch? lmao no buzzfeed video makes sense anymore they just exaggerate everyday situations, talk to a couple people with degrees and phds to make it a video

[@haleema6111]

Sen Sen she said she went back again to get it fixed but they are both wearing the same clothes. So basically she just went to get the dress fixed and faked the rest of the video to make it an "interesting" video.

[@hannahstahl1857]

Yeah you can’t exactly return a wedding or bridesmaid gown once you buy it..

[@eh7303]

Hannah Stahl ... you can ... and you can resell it..

[@eclipseezera6822]

Sen Sen I believe she didn’t sell it because she really liked that dress. But yeah I do think she should’ve just gone and changed the dress in the first place anyways

[@shan3982]

"How I tried to fit into my wedding dress? I bought the correct size!"

[@ericawiggins6561]

Cut out the zipper and make it a corset. Problem solved. That's how I got into my prom dress that could be zipped, but made me light headed how tight it was.

[@cynthiafox1536]

Genius!

[@maeflower522]

I thought the bridal rule was to never let your fiancee see your dress before the wedding day

[@MissSarahNicole89]

maeflower522 lol its not a rule. But more of a tradition/superstition that it would doom the marriage itself if the groom sees you in it before the wedding ceremony.

[@ZeldadragonBlade]

It was also more for arranged marriages. It was so that the bride wouldn't run away after seeing her possible husband before they even get married

[@naritruwireve1381]

The reason for it being a tradition is a lot less rainbows and unicorns than I thought... I thought it was done just to make it fun and add an element of surprise...

[@victoriamoraes4769]

That’s just a silly superstition kinda like in the past some people believed girls couldn’t wash their hair while they were on their periods or they’d never get pregnant

[@maryanndelosangeles3835]

just being dramatic for the video

[@denisegaraybatres3892]

When I got married, I never let my dress even touch the floor before the wedding. Why she’s laying on the floor wearing it?? 😱

[@Jessicurrrrrrrrr]

Well it is grey not white

[@denisegaraybatres3892]

cotton candy randy I’m not talking about the color, maybe I’m a freak, but I was afraid to even let it touch any surface, or maybe that happens when you pay $1000 for a dress 🤔

[@annaorlovtsev3167]

Den Owe $1000 isnt that much for a dress

[@YogabyNanda]

nyc anna ok rich lady lol 1k for a dress is a lot! Just because the culture made us think it’s ok to blow thousands on a wedding it doesn’t mean it’s normal. A lot of people around the world live a whole month with less than that.

[@icedmocha5264]

It's Gray so dirt won't show on it as much as a white dress and the dress itself looks simple but elegant so I don't think it's as much as a thousand dollars

[@aavonaly]

I refuse to even pass 0:40 for one reason and one reason only. CLOTHES WERE MADE TO FIT HUMAN BEINGS AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!! #bzzfeed really missed the mark with this one, I can tell because you don't need a whole 10 mins video just to realize all the dress needs is an alteration. Nope, not watching any further.

[@paigeblack5000]

Aly ....That was the point of the video...that was the message they're trying to convey.....you really just missed the mark yourself....

[@conniee1232]

At 8:55 she literally says what you wrote

[@Tapiokapuddin]

Probably a good idea to watch the whole video or don't comment at all....

[@keiraatchison3257]

Maybe watch the video before commenting

[@katasoarusrex5357]

Try watching the video before posting your opinion pumpkin, she literally says she should have had the dress fit her not to try to fit in the dress

[@Loistheshit]

* can't close the zipper past her ribcage * "I need to lose weight!" Wow, diet culture is so toxic.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Honey, you can't change the size of your ribs.

[@alainaatk.6210]

Potassuim_Cation I used to think this, but there is a certain level of fat that sits underneath the ribs that can be reduced to an extent.

[@verminted5243]

She literally said that.

[@verminted5243]

Giovanna Greeff it's possible to change the size of your ribs?

[@katysmith1284]

She was already slim, many people don’t carry weight around their ribs anyway - I don’t really carry weight around my ribs, so even when I gained 30+ pounds I only went up one band size and the measurement was one inch up. This woman’s already quite slim, so there’s probably not much to lose anyway.

[@meinkanta]

You can actually haha

A disordered mess. This could be potentially triggering for those experiencing/recovering from an eating disorder.

I had a eating disorder and this wasnt triggering? It was just hthe struggle to fit in a WEDDING DRESS that was too small.

“Expensive dress” bruh u just spent so much for those psychology classes and diets and the exercise classes..etc, could have bought another dress

Could you have not added a corset back to the dress?

[@samanthamorris427]

Navreet and Ramneet that was my first thought I was like it would be so pretty with a corset

[@kerryfrancesmc7734]

To make it a corset back you would need to remove the zip, which could ruin the dress.

[@kaelaleedaley]

Depending on the fabric that the bodice is comprised of, you may or may not be able to add a corset back, even with stabiliser. From what the seamstress was able to do, it would appear that a major alteration like corseting would be possible. If seams were reworked without visible damage to the fabric, removing a zip or adding corseting/trim would not ruin the dress. The look may not have been to the bride's taste and this was most likely discussed x

[@destineeberry3125]

Thats what i had to do to my dress when it didn't fit. 😂

[@tiffles4492]

"I just need to go on a diet." You're not fat. Just because a dress is too small, doesn't necessarily mean that you need to lose weight. Especially if you have a healthy BMI. Getting it tailored is your best option and usually is a lot quicker than doing all of this other nonsense she did.

[@noah-jones]

I wouldn’t class myself as a sjw,, but shouldn’t this have some sort of warning? For people really struggling with eating disorders ??

[@icedmocha5264]

No. It's in the title. Someone who would be triggered by this should be smart enough to avoid videos like this

[@trekadouble757]

Actually at the very end of the video she realises that she shouldn't have tried to fit into the dress, but she should have make the dress fit her. So she says that it's not good to be like that

[@Tapiokapuddin]

Wow yeah really a good idea to comment after watching the whole thing

[@vivalanina]

usually people schedule a series of alterations every month up to the wedding right after purchasing the dress. That's probably what should have happened from the start. And having worked in the industry, YES it's completely normal to buy a larger size than you expected to have coming in the store. Almost EVERYONE does!

You can’t just “give yourself an eating disorder” it’s not just not eating or something, it’s psychological. As someone with anorexia I can tell you it wasn’t videos or situations like this that caused it. At all.

Emily Melendez bruh i know girls can start viewing themselves obsessively like that and then it starts this never ending goal. I have a bulimic and anorexic friend who's been hospitized 3 times because of "swim suit goal". She bought a small swim suit and could fit it and became obsessed. Kept going lower down sizes

[@PadmeHum523]

I definitely agree. I feel like a video like this is really triggering for people who struggle with weight issues. Especially showing her using things like Gas X can send a bad message to people who think they need to be a certain size and how they must suffer for that size at all costs.

Can we just talk about how stunning that dress is!?

[@walkingtalkingdread]

Ikr! I could definitely see myself wearing something like that on my big day

[@ZehraShafqat]

This bride: My dress is super expensive. Also this bride: Lays flat out in bed with a dog walking around her/practically on her. Also this bride: Collapses on the floor trying to wrestle with the zip on the back. Also this bride: I bought my expensive dress in a size so small that I'd need to remove a rib or so to fit into it. First of all, I can't imagine not being able to tell when wearing the dress that it needs me to lose an impossible amount of weight/completely change my body structure to fit into it. Second of all, I can't imagine BUYING a dress, let alone an EXPENSIVE dress, that too for my WEDDING, that doesn't fit like a glove when I wear it. I would rather buy the dress that fits great and if I want to lose weight, I will (then I can get the dress altered if needed).

[@cestlaami]

Tailors exist. Why are you feeding into this frenzy, that people need to be a “perfect” size for them to look good on their wedding day. As someone who struggles with their weight, I knew this was going to be very hard for me to watch, and although I’m glad that you used a tailor in the end, this video was kind of unnecessary.

@Lucy Blue You can add a corset back to dresses that are too small to make them larger. There is a store that rents dresses in my area, and they do it all the time.

[@Aliyah221b]

I’m glad a video like this was made. It shows future brides not to get crazy. Not to order sizes too small. Not to get your body to fit a dress. Not to rely on external outcomes for happiness & to enjoy your wedding because youre marrying hopefully the love of your life. Not cuz you looked pretty.

Would you watch that video tho

[@switchbladesx5808]

Harina Ariana or she can just loose weight like she did

[@blueshoes5145]

Ashley Caballero Lol what do you mean ? That is probably the smartest thing you could do here. On the day you will be drained of energy from the diets and stress, unhappy and only half-way fitting into the dress..imagine how the pictures are gonna come out. Plus it would be a draining memory in the future. Edit: at the end she did say that compared to all the money she spent on loosing weight, exercise and other tid bits were more than getting it fixed.

[@Alexandra-ms2pp]

The beginning is so scripted...

[@sosorei9648]

What do you mean?

[@invaderkit101]

Who cares it’s a video it’s her job

[@mabelvioletpaige9410]

So glad you ended up getting the dress altered. It's absolutely stunning and your wedding photos are gorgeous!

[@allisonward958]

I know that the intention behind this wasn’t a bad one, but this is extremely triggering for me, and probably some others, as I’ve struggled with my weight and body image. I can’t even imagine what it would be like in recovery from an ed, or something similar. This is upsetting to say the least, and almost gave me a panic attack. Please put a trigger warning on future videos, or consider the effect they might have on people before deciding to produce.

[@karlaedith6191]

But why did you watch it? Imagine if a creator starts to think in every individual that might get trigger bc of something Ughhh

[@icedmocha5264]

You should not have watched this video. The title is enough warning. Be smarter about what you watch.

[@kadrie3428]

You knew excatly what this video was about, but you still decided to come here 🤔 You must not be that ”triggered” after all

[@bighairbeauty6069]

Don‘t click on it then🙄

[@thatsillegal3745]

I wish I was attractive enough to have someone marry me 😂

[@Mokoshhy]

MiKillMe PIERCETHEJELLO if you are on your avatar you don't need to be worried

[@sistersaturn1549]

Remember: you aren’t unattractive you just aren’t your own type. There’s some one out there who not only are you their type , but you’re their ideal partner.

[@hannahglover9228]

MOOD

[@Forgotmyprevpassword]

Don't place all your self worth in your appearance. Marriages based only on how physically attractive you find your partner don't last and aren't healthy. You want somebody who loves your personality, and your looks are just the cherry on top.

[@koolklub]

MiKillMe PIERCETHEJELLO lmao you are

[@kimbrolyy]

Dress shopping 101: never get a size smaller unless you're pregnant and the baby is due before the wedding

[@annakoivu8066]

Her eyebrows go downwards

[@karenbonilla164]

I saw that all the video jaja ...

[@karenbonilla164]

Yess !!! I thought I was that only person noticed that!

[@dollsNcats]

I have always thought that with her videos 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@dnabl9607]

Oh my goodness. That dress is beautiful. I've immediately become obsessed with gray wedding dresses

[@CuriosityCulture]

There's a big double standard. Men don't have to deal with this

[@Mokoshhy]

Ofc they have lol

[@RabidFanGirl]

Ladies and Gentlemen you have just witnessed the biggest lie of the day.

[@Sterling_LE]

Lol cause men can totally look like fat slobs and neither they nor anyone else will care....yeah...no. A lot of us hold ourselves to standards, even if society isn’t as loud and vocal about what men ‘should’ look like. We put a lot of silent pressure on ourselves just like society does on women and to some extent men.

[@alichiahouse7050]

Well she did get the wrong size

[@nuclearseahorse]

Not a double standard. Women dont have to go through this, they choose to. Wedding dresses are expensive so i understand why she wouldve wanted to make the dress work if she accidentally got the wrong size

[@Klapaocious77]

Why buy a size too small though? 😒

[@Idaad01]

She legit explained it within like the first minute of the video

[@sarakroczyk321]

She said why in the video. Did you not watch it? She tried on the display dress which was the same size and it for her, but it was really stretched out and she didn't realize that the new one would be smaller

[@_rsmdk]

She already explained. She tried on the sample that fit perfectly so she ordered that size but it was stretched out because it was the sample and had been tried on loads. The actual size wasn’t stretched and was smaller than what she tried.

[@MyLifeAsMakayla01]

Red Curtis did you not watch the video even with the sound on😂😂 because it seems like you didn't

[@haleyb4721]

She explained it you really should have watched •Basically she bought the size that she tried on in the store but she didn’t think about how it could have been stretched out from other people so when she got hers and because no one has worn it it was to small

[@lindsay7198]

she looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day! 😍💕

[@anyaa6922]

This wedding pics were really beautiful!! And the dress looked amazing on u 💖😱🤗 ur husband is so cute 🤩😊

[@lanfriesen]

The lady at the dress shop wasn’t answering any of her questions 😆

[@madisonhiggs]

Me when school starts again

[@-VoDkAsVengeance-]

"Look at my wedding dress." **Dog walking all over dress in background**

[@ticklemelexii]

If you bought a real steel bone waist trainer that doesn’t Velcro like the workout ones, it actually brings you in 1-2inches and works permanently.

[@craftedbyalison6592]

all she has to do is add a panel... it costs like 30-60 bucks and you can do it yourself easily.

[@gwenberlin3368]

Just get the right size dress. Wedding dresses are cut very small. I think it's on purpose.

[@RosyCastillo_93]

OMG!! I love the turn this video took!! I hope you had an amazing wedding Sarah 😘❤️

[@rvralilly]

Next step: eyebrows 😃

[@mrsfruity76]

I get the point of this video....I think. But I'm questioning if you really liked this dress. Why? Because the rolling around on the floor and being very rough, when attempting to remove it don't scream "I'm a bride who absolutely loves my dress".

[@paigeblack5000]

mrsfruity76 Some people have different reactions to things they love....some want to have it locked away and absolutely protected until their big day while others want to wear it all the time and roll around it, don't try and invalidate her love for her dress only because you would have acted differently.

[@koolklub]

She’s so thin already

[@gretchenvosburgh4061]

Loved watching thank you for sharing - you looked so happy and beautiful in your wedding photos - congrats on getting married!

[@isabellaturner7574]

Why is this video my literal life😭💓

[@Emlah9081]

That's so damn dangerous 'i can't control my life, but I can control my weight' yet it's so true

[@Alyy_Cat]

Emlah9081 but that's like the biggest indicator of an eating disorder risk

[@Emlah9081]

Alyssa Marie I know it's sad

[@samhalfpenny5096]

I bought my wedding dress at a thrift store because I thought it was beautiful but it was way too small so I revamped it and added a lot of elastic and extra material lol

[@gowri893]

Sam Halfpenny That’s really cool! You never need to spend lots of money to get the dress of your dreams.

[@user-ul1jc8dc6d]

That's a good idea people spend thousands of pounds for a dress you were once

[@JenniferBallew]

THAT IS A GORGEOUS DRESS!!! I love the color and you look so fantastic in it!

[@AndreaGutierrez-wt8mg]

I remember i had the same exact problem with my prom dress and in the end, we converted the back into an open corset with some nice ribbon and it made the dress look even more beautiful.

[@maria-julia56]

You could of had a corset back put in on the top part of the back of the dress or folded down the part that wouldn’t zip so it would be a v shaped back

[@adri6327]

Maria - Julia That's what my friend did for prom. It looked even better. Gave her a stylish back.

[@maria-julia56]

adri I think lace up backs are better for weddings and proms leaves some wiggle room in case . hope your friend had a lovely prom x

[@taltal6842]

Such a stunning dress!

[@khaedeenb1873]

Hahaha love this video... especially her face at the beginning

[@whitneyvictoriawoodard]

Wow I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED her dress I would've done the same crazy thing but I'm so thrilled for her that in the end it all worked out. Yay for fairytales She was such a glowing bride So beautiful

[@crisellemesa3912]

I like the random Shane and Ryan at the end there.

[@AngelaDianneMiller83]

I relate to this so much!! The dream dress (with the most beautiful silver embroidery) I wanted was $250 out of my price range, but it was on the list of dresses being discontinued so the sample dress was available for purchase at a discount($300 off to be exact)!! It was barely too small when I tried it on and we decided that trying to lose weight for it to zip all the way was unrealistic. My dress unfortunately didn’t have any extra fabric so they would potentially have to ruin the embroidery to add panels. We decided that wasn’t what we were going to do. We decided to ditch the zipper and create and beautiful lace up with some beautiful silver fabric that matched the texture of the dress and shade of the embroidery. It turned out beautiful, but the month before our wedding I got sick, lost weight and then the day of the wedding the lace up was pulled as tight as it could go and wasn’t as pretty!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ We were pretty sure it would of zipped all the way if it still had the zipper... to this day thinking about this puts the song “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette in my head!!

[@Ella-op5hb]

1:16 the dog is like “I fit right on this pillow but have fun trying to get in that dres...”

[@Glitzyval]

THE DRESS IS FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOSH ! I’ll be a bridezilla next year aswell my date is coming so soonnnnn!

[@kelsey2333]

Wow your super beautiful. You kinda look like miranda cosgrove

[@calielizabeth4714]

A lot of these comments are "you should have fixed it to begin with" but from the standpoint of personal experience I totally get this- to me it's more about the mental pressures women deal with to be perfect, and often that is depicted as "the perfect size" or "the perfect weight". I had my dress ordered in the right size and taken in to fit correctly and that still didn't stop me from the bridal brain mental breakdown of wanting to look a certain way or be skinny enough or pretty enough on my wedding day. I'm getting married in 2 months and this video helped me feel more sane because I know i'm not alone...thank you for sharing!

[@toniadfgn]

Totally not staged

[@VikiWishes]

OMG SHE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCESS - BRIDE GOALS ;D

[@lydiasmart4715]

I love everything about that dress the colour, shape, the flowy skirt like everything!!

[@BubblyBabyBee]

That dress is so pretty! ❤

[@joywalsh6150]

I had a bridesmaid dress made for a friends wedding, the lady said it was a uk 18.... i found a label inside that said it was a 24, i had dieted and exersized like craxy and as a disabled woman that was harder, i was gutted by being lied to. I felt like they were laughing at me behined my back! So you never know true sizing in these places anyway unless you have it made by a really expensive place

[@renjiai]

Wedding dresses go by a different sizing system then street clothes. They were probably telling you the street size, which more people are familiar with.

[@joywalsh6150]

Figgy Winks oh do they? I wonder why that is?

[@joywalsh6150]

Em Bem why isnt that sizing standard then?? Daftness!! If they take measurements off the body shape then it should all be standardised?

[@zhannaarabkertsyan3631]

Love your dress 💕

[@emmablohm1]

I bought a dress that was two inches too small on my waist. I had a year to fit into it. I thought maybe 7 - 10 lbs would do it.....nope. I ended up having to lose 28lbs to fit into it. Best thing I ever did because I was, and still am, over weight. Now I'm just less over weight!
