This woman will be tying the knot in just a couple of months, so she is currently in the process of picking out bridesmaid dresses for her bridal party.
In terms of her own wedding gown, she wanted to keep the dress classy and elegant. In other words, she chose not to show off any cleavage.
Her 18-year-old sister, on the other hand, is apparently “incredibly blessed” with a larger chest. But she doesn’t want her sister to be showing that off at her wedding.
To be clear, she claims that she isn’t a prude and actually loves to “celebrate women’s bodies.”
“But cleavage was not what I had in mind for any of my bridal party,” she said.
“My sister’s also only just turned 18, and the big sister in me doesn’t want anyone ogling her and having that in the back of my mind on the day.”
Still, when it came time to select bridesmaid dresses, she did give her bridal party some room for individuality.
In fact, she just provided everyone with her chosen wedding color scheme. Then, she allowed each bridesmaid to pick out whatever style of dress they liked “within reason.”
Now, all of her other bridesmaids picked out dress styles that she was okay with. But while she thought her sister’s chosen dress was pretty, she thought it didn’t leave enough “to the imagination.”
“And I tried to put it as delicately as possible, and my sister did not handle this well,” she recalled.
Her sister claimed to be really in love with the dress and accused her of “picking on” and “body shaming” her sister. She also got told that it wasn’t her sister’s fault that her sister had a larger chest.
Since then, her sister hasn’t been speaking to her, either, since her sister felt singled out by the bridesmaid dress comments.
She has tried to explain that she just wants to keep her wedding pretty classy and modest.
“And I feel like having my sister’s cleavage out against everyone else’s modest dresses would just stick out and be the center of attention way too much,” she vented.
“If it weren’t my wedding, I couldn’t care less what she wears.”
So, she’s offered to help her sister find an alternative. Prior to her sister picking out a dress, she was also clear about what she wanted, went to fittings with her sister, and showed her sister dress inspiration photos to guide an appropriate dress choice.
Nonetheless, her sister still will not respond to her texts and has just been ignoring her.
And now, this has left her wondering whether asking her sister to cover up her chest more at the wedding really did make her a jerk.
Is it understandable that she has a certain vision for her wedding and wants all of her bridesmaids to dress appropriately? Even so, was it then a bad idea to allow each of the bridesmaids to choose their own dresses? How could she reconcile this situation with her sister?
