| 12. I got out of being a bridesmaid at my mom's wedding. |
|
My mother described the dress as sleek and simple. We went to go get fitted and I found out her interpretation of "sleek & simple" is "ruffles & sequins." Couple that with them not having my size in stock (2 petite), I looked at myself in the huge dress and freaked out. Basically, I cited gender issues, although it was really dress issues. I ended up wearing a really hot black cocktail dress & stillettos. The rest of my sisters suffered in their 20lbs of fabric in August and I was comfy.
