a little bit gutted.

This is awful - I can't believe that she would tell you H2B that she didn't like the dress. It is such an important day and you will no doubt already be feeling all kinds of pressure to look fantastic. I'm sure that you chose your dress because you loved it - it's your body and you know what suits it. This is your dress - not your MILs, they day is not about what she wants you to wear but about you and your H2B..try not to worry I'm sure you will look lovely ...any chance of a flash? x

Aww don't worry Luna! As long as you love it that's all that matters, and presumably someone else, your mum or CBM or someone went with you and liked it?

You're not going to be able to please everyone with something as personal as a dress choice! I've seen lots of dresses on here, that while the brides look absolutely gorgeous in them, isn't the style of dress I like whatsoever! That's what great that everyone likes different things!

I love my dress and my mum does but I'm sure there will be people who don't! I'm not even showing FMIL mine until she sees me on the day!

Keep positive and remember why YOU love it regardless of FMIL!

For the record what dress is it? Cheeky flash??

I'm sure she doesnt think you look awful, just that it's not what she pictured!

But its not her that is wearing the dress, its you and its your choice! I cant believe you H2B told you, knowing that it would upset you. I'd be giving him what for, I expect his mum told him in confidence, I'm sure she wouldnt have wanted her thoughts passed onto you. I wouldnt think badly of her.

Its your day, and I'm sure your dress is fab!

Thank you CF I would love to flash but I cant get the pictures from my phone to the laptop Im such a dunce. H2b has said he doesnt care what she says he saw the ones she wanted and didnt like them and he trusts my judgement. I have very low self esteem about my looks anyway so this really hasnt helped lol xxxx

Its not his fault I kind of dragged it out of him as only I can. I dont like being lied to and Im glad I know the truth just wouldve preferred it if shed have been honest x

Wow. That's horrendous of your MIL. What on earth would possess her to tell your OH, of all people, that she doesn't like your wedding dress?!

Unbelievable.

Put it out of your mind. You bought the dress for a reason.

I've managed to get a few pics but they aren't very good sorry
.

It was my friends dress and she sold it to me ? it was only worn for a few hours and she had it dry cleaned for me. I dont know what dress it is or anything like that unfortunately but I love it xxxx

This is all that counts. As long as you love it, it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks.

You will put it on on the day and feel a million dollars. She will get over it, and on the day, once your outfit is all on and together, she will probably change her mind. If not, dont let it worry you!! As long as you feel great, thats all that matters.

Its lovely, really suits your figure! Gives you a great nipped in waist, really slim!

I'm sorry if this seems harse, but what does it have to do with her if she doesn't like your dress? She's not wearing it! If it is the one that you want to wear then wear it, do not try and please others.

awww thank you ?

You look lovely!

Your dress is lovely and you have a great figure. It is very wrong of your FMIL to say she doesn't like it. Don't worry about it you'll look stunning.

Makes your waist look teeny! I'm curvy too and it's a similar style to what I went for so I know what you mean about this being the most flattering. Ignore your Fmil!

Thats awful, she really shouldnt have said anything. it is your choice at the end of the day as she has had her day. i know you want to include her but in my opinion that is just not fair. im sure you look lovely. after all if she really wanted to dress you then she should have forked up the cash!

Thanks everyone I need to lose a little bit of weight but I think it looks good

What a horrible woman! personaly i don't even care what oh thinks of my dress no mind his family. its my dress and i will be the one wearing it! Don't get upset. is it really the mil you want to impress on your wedding day anyway? If she's expecting you to wear a dress that you know wouldn't suit your figure at all then her opinion isn't worth much.

That dress looks like it was made for you! Beautiful. Who cares what his mother thinks? And when she shows her MOG outfit tell her you hate it!

You look lovely, so ignore her.

I know it's hard as my MIL did the same to me, mine was even worse, she was in the shop with me and just didn't say anything. I questioned her about it after asking what was the probelm and she said the dress is lovely but it does not suit you.......great, thanks!

As other people have said it's what you think that matters and if you love it that all that counts.

Awww how awful for you..can't believe that she would even discuss the dress with your H2B ...surely it's a secret?!?! the way i see it, i wouldn't care AT ALL if MIL2B didn't like my dress as we have VERY different styles so if she didn't like it thats probs about right! she obviously had a vision in her head and that wasn't it but don't let it bother you at all...i'm sure you look amazingly beautiful in it and thats all that matters!! x

It's a beautiful dress and your MIL should be ashamed of herself.

I think it looks great, really suits your figure and it's got lovely detailing.

Personally, I don't even think my H2B is going to LOVE my dress. He'll like it but I don't think the dress will blow him away. What I hope will have the impact is me IN the dress, the way I feel and subsequently, the way I look because of how I feel. I love it and I'm the one wearing it. Same for you. If YOU love it, you'll look great. Turn this into a positive. FMIL doesn't like it? Throw it back in her face by looking (and feeling) amazing on your wedding day. I'm sure she'd be upset if she knew you knew.

I quickly realised how personal choosing a dress was, all the people I went shoppingw ith liked different dresses to the ones I liked, and the one I choose isn't the style they all said they thought suited me. I don't care its what I wanted!

It looks beautiful on you - ignore them you can't dress to please all of them, you dress for yourself!

That dress looks lovely on you. Ignore your mil's stupid opinion, it's not her wedding, it's yours. Turn up in a bin bag if you want.

Oh and ps: don't show her anything else. ?

I love the dress and your figure looks lovely too, your FMIL will have her own style in her mind of what SHE likes but it is your day and i would go with this dress that you love, i would let the comments of your FMIL go straight over your head, at the end of the day its how you feel in the dress and wearing one you are not happy with will not make your day special.

Your dress is one thing that swhould be done to please you, no one else. It is gorgeous and really suits you!! Theres no point buying something you know you wont suit and be uncomfortable in all day!!

S x

I'm also 5 foot tall and curvy and I think you've made the right decision - the dress you've chosen is really pretty and you look lovely in it, and a column style dress wouldn't definitely doesn't suit me and so probably wouldn't suit you.

I understand how gutted you must be feeling though, I'm intending to try and involve my H2B's mum, and would also hate to disappoint her. I hope the situation works itself out for you

The dress looks lovely on you and you need to be comfortable and special in what you wear. It's not your MIL's dress and what she likes wont necessarily be what you want or what suits you. She should be ashamed of herself for making you doubt yourself. I cant think of anything worse than wearing a dress I was unhappy with. Your figure looks amazing in this one!

I seriously don't understand why who sould have had any input from her whatsoever about the dress. Or why it bothers you so much that she imagined you wearing something else- she's not your mother..

NO ONE had any say whatsoever in the dress I've picked out. I showed my maid of honour and mum pictures of my eventual choice, but neither of them had any input. And I'm sure the dress is miles away from what they would have expected or pictured, but why should I care? It's what I love!

So stop worrying about what your future mother in law envisioned for you on your wedding day. It shouldn't have any impact whatsoever on what you do.. unless of course she's paying for it all. But even then, she shouldn't get a say in your dress.

I'm sorry but what does it have to do with your mil2b what wedding dress you have? It's not her wearing it, it's you. Unless she was paying for the dress, then she may have a reason to have some input, but even then. I think that is just plain rude! - the only person who had input into my dress was mum, mainly because she was paying for it and booked all the appointments at the dress shops. Other than that the choice was mine.

Perhaps I'm a little harsh, but given that it isn't her wedding day, it doesn't matter if it isn't the dress she wants! It's your day, you wear what you want to, please don't consider changing it just because someone is rude enough to complain that you haven't picked the dress they want.

I think that dress really suits your figure, and if you love it then that's what matters.

I've had a few friends be a bit "meh" about my dress, but I love it so I'm sticking with it.

You'll look lovely and I'm sure your H2B will agree
