She sympathized with them and wished them success in trying to find a good option before prom and she thought that was that.
About 14 days later, her in-laws extended another invitation to have dinner at their house, and as soon as she and her husband arrived, she noticed his sister looked pretty down in the dumps.
Figuring this girl just had a rough day while at school, she ignored her and they sit at the table to have dinner.
Over dinner, her mother-in-law piped up that her husband’s little sister was so unhappy, as she had her prom to look forward to in just 3 days, yet she still couldn’t find a dress.
“I expressed my condolences, and told her that I could maybe help her have some last looks around,” she said.
“That’s when MIL said “Oh, I have an idea, (my name), why don’t you let (SIL) wear your yellow dress. I could probably get it tailored in time.” My SIL immediately perked up – and I felt like I was ambushed.”
“I looked to my husband but he just shrugged. I politely told them I was sorry, but the dress was very special to me, and also SIL and I are quite different sizes. It would fall off her.”
Her mother-in-law then pushed her about tailoring her wedding dress to fit her husband’s sister, to which she said no.
There was no way she was parting with her wedding dress, let alone allowing her husband’s sister to wear it to prom.
Dinner ended early that evening, and her husband’s family was nothing but furious with her for not wanting to give up her wedding dress.
Even her husband couldn’t understand why she declined to do this. She later logged onto social media and there in front of her was a photo of her husband’s little sister in a blue-colored prom dress.
“I commented saying I’m glad she got a dress, she looked great, and I hope she had a good time – and I got a comment back asking me for my portion of the dress,” she continued.
