A woman went wedding dress shopping with her friend, prepared to give her "honest opinion"
When the bride chose a dress her friend didn't like, the friend pushed back, and ultimately called the dress "ugly"
Reddit users widely agreed that the friend was in the wrong: If the bride is truly set on one dress, you get on board
A woman is rethinking her comments about her friend's wedding dress choice.
In a post on Reddit's AITA forum, the woman opened up about going wedding dress shopping with her friend, who she called Lily. Hoping to provide some helpful insight to her friend for her big day, the woman was candid about each dress the bride tried on — but now she's wondering if she was too harsh.
The woman was excited to be included in the dress shopping process and was prepared to give her "honest opinion," as her friend wanted, she wrote.
When Lily settled on a dress, she tried it on to show her friend. The woman was "shocked," she wrote, as the gown wasn't anything like what she would have expected from her friend.

"Honestly, I didn't think it was flattering on her at all," the woman wrote. "It was a style I personally didn't like, and I felt it didn't suit her body type."
At first, the woman "tried to be diplomatic," but said she could tell Lily was really invested in this dress. After holding back for a while, the woman told her friend she didn't think it was the best choice for her because, she wrote, it wasn't "as flattering as she probably imagined."
When the woman suggested the bride try a few different styles to consider her options, Lily seemed dismayed, the woman wrote.
"She got upset and said I should have just kept my opinion to myself if I couldn't be supportive," the woman wrote. "She called me rude for saying it was 'ugly' and said I ruined the moment for her."
In the moment, the woman felt it was right to share her honest opinion, but since they went shopping, the bride is now barely talking to her friend. Now the woman is wondering if she was wrong to speak up or for being too harsh.

People in the post's comment section sided with the bride: If the bride loves it, and you love her, you get on board for her sake, many wrote in their own way.
One user instead suggested making positive remarks about the bride and not the dress. "You look SO happy and excited! I can't wait to see it with the whole ensemble on your wedding day," the user proposed as a response to a dress that the friend doesn't love.
Users also argued that while the friend wasn't wrong for voicing her opinion at first, she was out of line for pressing the matter even after the bride said she was set on this one dress.
"There's being honest…then there's being blunt. Blunt can pack a punch, especially if it's the dress she loves. Tact means not sharing everything you think," one commenter wrote. "'Not as flattering as you imagine' is essentially telling her she doesn't know what looks good on her. Yikes!"
