So I was in this store trying on suits and what not for my job and the store also sells wedding dresses. I come out of my changing room to go look at myself in the 3way mirror and this lady that is standing up there weights about approx. 350 pounds. She is standing up there staring at herself so I patiently wait. The lady that does the fitting for the dresses suits etc.. is trying to tell her that she is to big for the dress and she can't strech it out anymore than what it is. Of course the lady in the dress doesn't understand that and refuses to accept it. So, at this point i'm getting rather annoyed waiting to look at myself and get my measurements so I can go on with my day. Then out of nowhere, this big lady starts asking me what I think so I just say "oh I don't know, I guess it looks fine. I've never been married myself so I don't know what a dress is supposed to look like" Next think I know she starts arguing with me!! Of course I heard the conversation between her and the seamstress so I just jump up and say "you know, it looks great! I think the guy you're marrying is going to absolutely love it!!"
What I should have said was...
"Now listen, I know you love the dress but my God, the lady that does all the measurements says it doesn't fit you and it could rip or something! It could possibly ruin your wedding night if something bad happens! The dress keeps yelling 'I don't fit you' so maybe you should go on a diet, or go look at a dress that actually fits you instead of freaking out about it like a baby!!"
Yeah, that's what I SHOULD HAVE SAID!
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS SITUATION??
It really bothers me when I see large people trying to squeeze into something TOO tiny! I'm large myself, about the size of this chick, but I know when something doesn't fit and how comfortable will it be wearing something SO tight!?! She wouldn't be able to sit in that dress!
ReplyDeleteI know it bothers a lot of people and especially for a wedding I mean come on don't wanna ruin that night!
