The first stage of shopping for a wedding dress was like this. My mother and my sister and I went to David's Bridal, and I tried on one of pretty much every basic style. To my completely lack of surprise, the fishtail dress might as well have come with a sign saying WIDE LOAD stuck on the ass; I do not have enough curviness to me to make that particular curve look right. But I was at least willing to try, on the off chance my assumptions were wrong.
