Open thread: Are there reputable eBay wedding dress sellers?
I read the post about ordering a wedding dress from China. Thanks for it, it was great! I have looked at dresses in eBay and have found some lovely ones. I would like to ask if you can recommend some reputable eBay wedding dress sellers? I have tried to find information about eBay-sellers in internet but all information I have found is old.
Open thread: how do you deal with wedding body-shaming?
I just got engaged, and I went on my first dress shopping outing with my sister and my mom last weekend. I was hoping it would be a fun bonding experience, but instead I felt criticized and harassed by both of them. I’m a plus-size bride, and both of them kept making comments about how dresses would fit once a lost a few pounds, how certain dress styles would look good after my wedding diet (…that I’ve never once said I was doing!), how this dress covered up my arms and looked better than that dress that didn’t.
What was supposed to be a good day, turned into a day where I went home feeling like I’d been a victim of wedding body-shaming. How do other plus-size brides stay body positive in the face of constant criticism?
