She Showed Her Friend Her Prom Dress, And Then Her Friend Went Out And Bought The Exact Same One So She’s Not Happy That They’re Going To Match
A high school girl is going to be attending prom soon, and she’s currently involved in some serious drama related to her prom dress and her friend.
While she previously was super excited to be going to prom since she missed out last year, now she’s feeling upset about it.
Around a month ago, she picked out her prom dress, and she showed her dress to her friend. Her friend raved about how incredible her dress was, which was the reaction she expected from her friend.
A week after showing her dress to her friend, her friend told her that she had also gotten her dress. When she asked her friend if she could see what her dress looked like, her friend declined.
In hindsight, she knows that should have been a telling sign, but she didn’t think much of it at the time.
Although her friend didn’t show her the prom dress she bought, she saw it accidentally when she headed over to hang out at her friend’s house.
That day, her friend’s mom put her dress out in a place where she could clearly see it, and she was horrified to realize her friend bought the same dress that she was already going to wear to their prom.
She confronted her friend, wanting to know if she intended for them to show up at prom matching one another, and her friend said she knew the dress was the same as her prom dress.
Her friend said it didn’t bother her that they were going to match, so she shouldn’t be offended either.

“She also said the idea of copying me wasn’t even on her mind, she just genuinely liked the dress and didn’t see a problem because our school is massive so duplicates of dresses are already common,” she explained.
“I honestly didn’t know how to react that day, but later the topic came up again and I told her that the situation felt weird and that I would prefer for us to not wear the same dress.”
“I asked if she could return her dress, or save it for another dance and re-wear one of her previous dresses since I already had alterations done on mine.”
“I offered to help her to pick out another one in the same color and style if she wanted a new dress, but she said there’s no point because any dress she chooses would end up resembling my dress anyway.”
She did her best to clue her friend in on her feelings, but her friend didn’t care that it made her upset that she had the same prom dress.
She felt that it wasn’t that nice or fair of her friend to have gone out and bought the same exact dress after she had shown it to her.
“The news kind of circulated, and now a lot of other students and parents know me as shallow for wanting to be “unique” above all else, which again isn’t the case, but like my friend, I also can’t get through to them,” she said.
“My parents think my friend is being immature, but also say I shouldn’t care so much about a school dance and I should just humor her because it’s not that serious.”
She’s curious if she’s making this into a bigger deal than it actually is, and she’s concerned that this conflict over the dress is going to ruin her friendship with her friend as well as other relationships in her life.
Do you think she has every right to be upset that her friend went out and bought the same prom dress as her? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
