MemberI can see why she is upset, the dress is pretty unflattering. On top of that, seems like it wasn’t made very well. The top is kind of a mess and not just realted to the corset in the back. I would just honestly start from scratch, I don’t think this can ba saved.

MemberIt would have been nice to consult with her beforehand, but as you are paying for the dress and it’s your wedding, as long as it’s not too revealing or something it’s really quite rude of her to make a big stink about it it. She really should have shut it and worn it with a smile.
MemberOn seeing the dress, there’s no reason for her not to have held her tongue and worn it proudly. Sorry she was rude to you about it.
MemberI like the dresses! and like you said, a few alteratiosn will make your MOH’s dress right as rain. I’m sorry she is being a brat 🙁 weddings tend to bring out the worst in people unfortunately

MemberMy sister was the same way during my wedding planning. Honestly I just IGNORED her. All her comments, complaining, etc just went in one ear and out the other. I wouldnt even give her the time of day for her nonsense. I wouldnt get your sister a new dress. I dont think it looks that bad. If she is concerned about her weight…well…she knows what to do. I think that’s what the major problem is.
MemberI was Maid/Matron of Honor in a wedding last year. The bride picked the dresses without us. I told her (begged!) PLEASE NO STRAPLESS!!! What did she get? Strapless! What did I do? Wear the damn strapless dress and smile all day.
MemberI think your sister was just trying to find things about the dress to hate rather than hate on her own shape and weight.
Don’t stress about it. You are being reasonable and she isn’t. Sorry about her attitude :/

The other dresses are really cute.
Your sister’s dress is not right for her body type. I would recommend something with an empire waist, thick straps, and no corset back (perhaps something with stretchy ruched elastic that will conform to her without giving back spilage). The shade is not great on her–what about a slightly deeper blush tone and then you have the added benefit as distinguishing her as MOH?
Her behavior screams Green Eyed Monster and she probably is upset with herself for feeling so jealous. Get her into a dress she feels good about and I bet she’ll be happier (and maybe nicer).
MemberJust wanted to add– I consulted with all the girls beforehand and they chose a dress they liked! Any requests were accomodated and I am not a picky bride. I just needed them all in this shade of pink. I’m not upset that my sister doesn’t LOVE the dress… It was her comments on the ugly color and her skin tone & ugly dresses that I didn’t like. Doesn’t exactly make me feel excited when my moh bad mouths everything. She knew my colors and it’s MY wedding. I gladly wore maroon on her day in a typical Bridesmaid or Best Man dress and never once bitched. Who fucking cares, it wasn’t my day! If my sister would have said she had some concerns or really thought I should contact the seller or told me she felt it was unflattering I would have nit been upset… But stomping off and complaining to my entire family about how ugly the dress is was not cool.
MemberFrom the photos you posted, it is clear that you are much, thinner than your sister. Based on the way the other dresses fit you, I am assuming the rest of your bridesmaids are also thinner than she is. So, I would gueswishes may just be feeling self conscious about being the bigger fairly in the group. I hate to throw around accusations of jealousy, but a little of that may be at play here too.
Of course, I don’t know your sister at all, so I could be way off base. She may be perfectly happy with her appearance and her attitude could be about something totally unrelated. She could even just be going through a stressful time in her own life and taking it out on you. I feel like you have 2 choices. You can I either ignore the negativity or you can talk to her about it.
I think the dresses you chose are cute and it was very sweet of you to pay.
