She has such a nice figure I don’t get where she sees herself big. She needs to let go of all that insecurity because she has nothing to be insecure about.

[@malpqueen2.057]

She stated at the beginning that she is a Virgo. Being one myself, we have a tendency to overthink everything. Sadly we are so much harder on ourselves, than most people realize. I know that Virgos are just astrological sign blah blah blah, but at the same time, it kinda makes sense in certain situations. Trying to be perfect is the whole goal of a Virgo, or at least one of them.

[@leonamay8776]

I once read a research paper about body confidence in men vs. women. The research suggested that (medically) overweight men have the same amount of body confidence as women that are considered in the ideal weight range! 😢😮

[@survivedandthriving]

Shout out to the future mother-in-law when asked if her son/the future groom would like the dress she says 'I think she could wear anything and she'd love it'. She also reaches over to the bride's mom with a 'isn't our girl wonderful' arm pat/stroke after the bride poses with the veil. Overall this is a wonderful entourage. I wish this version of this show would have more of these types of supportive entourages and less of the contrived drama created from the producers forcing the brides to bring buttholes to the fitting.

[@zabindhanji]

I have the same issue as the first bride in that I have a small waist and am more pear-shaped, so I feel self-conscious about my mid-section. It was lovely to see her in a dress that concealed that area and made her feel beautiful and self-confident.

[@hembafantilley-gyado9168]

[@stephaniejoles4043]

I know her friend picked this particular dress, but I love Diane as a consultant! She is so knowledgeable about bridal! Her “pulls” are typically on point!

[@catladyfromky4142]

Even though the first bride shocked herself by liking the beading, I think she thought a lot about what style she would feel comfortable in during the wedding day. And I am glad that she was open to trying on something she specifically told Diane not to pull. This is why sometimes we, as viewers, need to be more understanding of how the consultants do their jobs or what the entourage likes. Sometimes the consultants or the entourage CAN show the brides dresses that they will love.

[@theleftysjournal8781]

[@AkireMaru]

@lilbean true, don’t lie about your insecurities, but don’t parade things around that you know aren’t really a problem in front of people who clearly have that problem more than you. You don’t have to say everything that comes to mind or relieve your inner burdens on everyone…that’s called “maturity”. If I’m filthy rich, I’m not going to start talking about how broke I am and how I could only afford 5 Gucci bags instead of 6, in front of an aunt living on welfare. If I have really long hair, but I cut it to bra-strap length, I’m not going to talk about how much I hate my hair in front of a bald chemo patient woman. It’s an undercover flex, brag, etc. and super passive aggressive. I’ve seen brides with true weight insecurities and it brings them to tears. She just wants everyone to tell her how skinny she is.

I think she has body dismorphia. Your thoughts are correct and not rude.

[@Ventura574]

When looking for a dress, it's so important to keep an open mind. Try different cuts, different colors, fabric, beading, and so on. By all means, try on your dream dress, but keep an open mind that something else might suit you better. Even some of the ugliest dresses on the rack, can look fantastic on you, look like it was designed just for you. I know this from personal experience. When I was looking for a dress to attend a wedding, I had gained a ton of weight due to health issues. I had tried on over two dozen dresses, all looked beautiful on their hangers, but they all looked ridiculous on me. My last option of a dress in my size to try on looked absolutely hideous on the hanger. Tried it on, and it was a transformation. It not only looked good on me, but boosted my confidence, because I looked good on it. I felt good in it. When I showed the dress on the hanger, my MIL wasn't impressed, but when I tried it on, her jaw dropped. She had asked me if I was playing a joke on her, and then asked me if that was the same dress I just showed her, because she didn't think anywhere in hell that thing was going to look good on anybody. LOL

why are the brides to be allowed to press their hands down the front of the gowns when trying them on. hands are naturally greasy and you would be surprised how much skin residue is deposited on fabric surfaces. White dresses are very susceptible to staining generally and stroking your stomach and your sides while admiring yourself doesn't do the dress any good.

[@theraweggfiles]

$5600 for that second gown is an insult. A plain, very basic, and common gown for that price just because of the name attached to it? I feel like Pnina Tornai is so full of herself, as most designers are. Her gowns are only SOMETIMES beautiful, but always overpriced. I remember this one episode where the bride's family picked out a gown for her and didn't look at the price before the bride tried it on. She absolutely fell in love with it, but when she saw the price (well over her budget), the bride nearly collapsed and broke into tears. Randy went to talk to Pnina and when he told her that the bride couldn't pay that price, Pnina actually said, "Tell her to find the money. I'm worth it." I was so disgusted that she would say that. Needless to say, the bride left empty-handed.

[@cherylb_88]

David’s Bridal sells the same gowns for way less lol. I completely agree with you. In the fall I think they go on sale for $100 each. I found my perfect dress with tons of beading and long train. Very detailed dress and stunningly gorgeous for only $800. I’m sure it would be $10,000 or more there.

Trying something you wouldn't usually go for is always a good idea; you'll either feel more confident that it really isn't for you or be pleasantly surprised. Either way it's a win.

[@theraweggfiles]

The third one was awesome, but one thing I feel no bride considers when shopping for a gown and picking one out is what happens in wearing it all night AFTER the walk down the aisle which is the easiest part. When picking a gown, it's so easy to get caught up in the moment and miss the little details that they'll find out the hard way during the reception. Things like a strapless gown they constantly have to lift, or sleeves that prevent them from raising their arms, or skirts that they either have to spend all night lifting to walk and not trip over, or skirts that are so big that even bustled they are uncomfortable to sit in, or like the weight of a dress. There's also how scratchy certain materials can become as the night goes on, or how uncomfortable it will be to sit and move around in a tight gown all night. There is so much to think about beyond that first time you try a beautiful gown on.

[@marymiller6188]

This comment should be pinned! Excellent and things to remember as I’m shopping

[@fidelianerina]

Honestly, every time I see the bride pick a long dress that brushes the ground I really question it, it will get dirty. Especially if the wedding is outdoors. I know some people tend to change their dress for the reception, or get a wedding dress with a removable skirt so its shorter. Oh! And mermaid dress especially seem weird because I feel it would be hard to walk in. Never worn one so maybe its easier then it looks. This is why when I eventually get married I'm going with a shorter dress, not too short but maybe ankle length just so its long, but not annoying. Plus it would be much cheaper.

[@kathyk2777]

The dress is beautiful but very fitted past her hips. How does one sit, or use the ladies' room???

[@BasicYTHandle]

@@fidelianerina I've been a ballroom/Latin/swing dancer for a long time.
