Curvy girl vent

Tiny vent. I bought my wedding dress earlier this year and (despite a few anxious panic weeks) I love it.

As I've been showing pics of me trying it on with friends, I'm getting one main reaction: "Ooh, it's so flattering on you!"

Okay, I get it. I'm overweight. But I still feel beautiful, especially in the dress. I really wish someone would say "You look beautiful/pretty/lovely whatever" instead "Wow that's so flattering." Because all I hear is "Wow, that dress makes you look less fat."

No one ever looks at a thin woman's clothes and says "How flattering."

Of course, one of the main reasons I bought it is because it was flattering on me. And of course, I am also overweight. And of course, the most important thing is that I feel beautiful and my fiance agrees!
