So today I tried on wedding dresses. I had on a full size to two sizes bigger than my normal dress size. Who the hell thought of making wedding dresses two sizes smaller than normal dress sizes? I really wish I could go back in time and listen into the staff meeting in which they decided to alter normal sizes for brides only.
Now, I am sure this was an all male staff meeting in which ate hot wings as they wrapped discussions about last nights sports center.
“Moving on with the agenda, I would like to suggest all bridal gowns be cut slightly smaller than normal dresses,” said the older, gray haired, corporate boss.
“Brilliant!” Said his 40 something over-weight and bald VP, “I like my women skinny.”
The mousy secretary speaks up, “Hey guys, don’t you think brides are already stressed out enough without worrying about weight issues? I mean, society already pushes so many images of un naturally thin women that this could very likely lead to anorexia or bulimia in these brides to be.”
An awkward silence falls in the room as they all sit and ponder this.
Laughter suddenly erupts.
“Good one! So, we make the changes immediately! Sounds good! Meeting adjourned.”
And thus, wedding dresses were made to make you feel fat an unattractive on the most important and most visible day of your life.
