'I hate my the bridesmaids dresses my friend picked out - I refuse to wear one'
When you agree to be a bridesmaid in someone's wedding, the chances are that you'll have to wear whatever dress the bride picks for you. While most brides will consider their bridesmaids' body shapes and tastes when choosing a dress for them, sometimes you'll have to wear something you're not a huge fan of.
But one bridesmaid has caused a stir after she flatly refused to wear the dress her friend picked out for her bridal party - as she insisted it will look "weird" on her.
The woman explained that her friend wants her bridesmaids to wear floor-length red gowns with long sleeves, which will complement the red and gold wedding dress that she's planning on wearing.

The bride shot down the woman's suggestion as she wanted her bridesmaids to be "modest" - and she's now been branded a "bridezilla" by the woman - who is now threatening to back out of being a bridesmaid - for refusing to compromise.

In a post on Reddit, the woman said: "My friend, D, is getting married and she's chosen outfits for the bridesmaids. It's all matching and also goes with her wedding outfit.
"I'm not a huge fan of this outfit. I told D I think the fit is going to be weird on me and I'd like to wear something else - it's still cultural, not a Western dress, and it'll still go with her wedding dress. And I'd pay for the new outfit myself.
"D refused because she wants the outfits to be 'modest' - I replied that there isn't anything that immodest about the outfit I chose.
"She still insisted no even when I tried to compromise, and I said she was acting like a bridezilla and if that's the case, I might be backing out as bridesmaid. Her response was 'okay, sure', but she was snarky and got p***ed."
Commenters on the post were largely on the bride's side in the debate, as many of them said the bridesmaid should just wear the dress she was asked to - especially as it isn't her wedding.
One person said: "You are a bridesmaid and you will wear the most hideous puffy-sleeved, poorly fitting, unflattering dress on the planet if that is what the bride picks. That is your job. This is not your wedding. She gets what she wants for the bridesmaids' dresses."
While another added: "Stop acting like her wedding is about you. There's nothing remotely bridezilla about her request, the dress she chose for the bridesmaids is gorgeous. Even if you don't think so, it's not your choice. Either be happy for your friend or drop out as a bridesmaid."
And a third wrote: "Her wedding is not about you or what you want to wear as her bridesmaid. The bridezilla comment was way uncalled for."
