Bridesmaid Rant - May I Vent?? AURRGGH!

[Dem Agog]

So I thought that my days of being a bridesmaid were over. After six weddings I think I've done my time.

But apparently I was wrong.

I'm in a family members wedding. She is a size 2. I'm a size 12. Her sister is also in the wedding, also a size 2.

So I get this email yesterday with the pictures of two bridesmaids dresses in it. She wants me and Sister Size 2 to pick the one we like. Well, they both have spaghetti straps and empire waistlines and this sheer, sheer fabric which will show every single bulge.

I picked the one that I thought would be the least offensive on me, but Sister Size 2 of course picked the other one that only Kate Moss would look good in.

I have six months until the wedding and even if I lose thirty pounds my body shape will STILL LOOK LIKE SHIT in these dresses! I'm not a stick like they are.

I have no idea how to politely tell her that both dresses are made for sticks and I am NOT a stick! They have these sickly, pasty pale models with no arms and no hips or butt wearing these things and I nearly want to cry because it is going to be so embarrassing to have to wear one of these two dresses.

Why do people not realize that if they have differently shaped bridesmaids in their wedding they should pick a style that suits the different shapes, or better yet let bridesmaids choose similar gowns in different styles if need be?

I fucking hate weddings.
