Is the dress my sister suggested suitable for the engagement?

My sister suggested a dress for me to wear at my best friend’s engagement ceremony, saying, ‘This dress would look really stylish,’ but I didn’t warm up to it much. The whole night, my sister kept looking at me and asking, ‘What do you think?’ which made me even more anxious. I’m not able to make the right choice for myself. What do you think, is her choice right, or should I try something different?

I had a similar story too. My sister had chosen a purple dress, and I thought, whatever, I’ll go with it. Looking at the photos, it screams ‘my sister chose it,’ it just didn’t work. If I’m not feeling it, I won’t choose it anymore.

So why is your sister being so insistent? Hasn’t she worn it herself, does she want to see you in it?

@iki_dakika it seems just like that to me, she wore it in her old engagement. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but what if it doesn’t suit me?

I think if you can’t decide either, you should consider your sister’s opinion. After all, if you like another dress, it seems like it would look bad on you too.

it’s a bit about body type. Your sister might have found it stylish, but if you don’t feel comfortable, definitely look for something else. I think pay attention to whether the cut of a dress suits you; a slight V shape usually looks good on everyone.

@denedekaldi I mean, you’re right in some way, but it’s not like she has to know everything for sure. If she doesn’t see herself that way, why push it? :neutral_face:

This girl, this topic is a total forum classic. Everyone will soon tell their own battle stories with their sisters.

Honestly, I’ve learned not to listen to my family about things like this. I went to my friend’s wedding once wearing something my mom suggested, and then I heard my cousin making fun of me. It’s just not worth the risk.

buy a new dress, let it go.
