“As the photographs of the five other girls wearing their dresses arrived in our WhatsApp group, so did a keen awareness that I’d be subject to a like-for-like comparison.”
Then, one day, we found it: a blue floral brocade A-line style with a full swishing skirt and a natty corseted waist. I tried it on and felt great. But, as the photographs of the five other girls wearing their dresses arrived in our WhatsApp group, so did a keen awareness that I’d be subject to a like-for-like comparison . I stopped myself from zooming in obsessively to compare how it fit them with how it fit me.
I knew I couldn’t be unhappy about it. Ellen had chosen the best bridesmaid dress possible for me. It was a design akin to. And yet I worried that the matching styles would lead me down a spiral of self-loathing, and that I would ruin this special occasion for myself. I didn’t imagine anyone else would be preoccupied by how I looked, but I’ve always been my fiercest, most unrelenting critic.
