I cant stand women like her shese had her day . But wants all her own way for her daughters wedding

@@oliverkitkat6860 before i watched this show i thought it was rare and only my mom was toxic like this. turns out most old ladies are just karen's but most karen's are introverted so we dont notice it much XD

@@illusionist1244 Well I am an ‘old lady’ just like many of my friends, I would never ever speak to my kids like this woman did but more importantly I raised my kids to be confident in their own decisions and tell me to but out.

@@carolecoote1926 aww youre so sweet

What did I hear mom say? “I’ve been an unholy WITCH for 26 years, and I’m a WITCH right now!” Yes. . . that’s what she said.

I didn’t go alone but I went with the least opinionated people I know. I already knew what I was going for.

I am in absolute agreement unless you are fortunate enough to have a lovely Mum whose only desire is to support you . A friend who has the same point of view would work too .

Amen. I think it’s crazy to have to please other people with your dress. This is supposed to be your special day and instead you are stressed.

Same here, shopped alone and I don’t regret it

I went alone and then brought my mum to the fitting and measurement appointments cos there's no changing the dress so have to be nice lmao

I have to agree with the mother. It was just a weird shape and made her look boxy.

Maybe she is jealous of her daughter.....wouldn't be the 1st mum to be so. Psych nurse after observing my unpleasant parent in action categorically stated " she's very jealous of you". Truly a shock at the time.

Right the other silhouettes did wayyyyy less for her figure

@@MsJubjubbird I didn’t like it either. I don’t think it did anything for her but if it was my daughter I would want her to have her own opinion and ultimately make her own choice. I do think sometimes they make the mother seem much more toxic than they really are though.

I thought the 1st dress was a "Pippa Middleton" dress, the type of dress that would show every lump and bump of fat. It was too tight. Few women can really wear those dresses well.

Or they don't want their "little girl" to marry someone Mom does NOT approve of! Control issue.

I agree

I loved that dress and she loved it too. I can’t believe that mom!

It looked amazing, 100%, but so does lingerie. Some things should be toned down a little bit just so. I must say that I liked it better than the other 2 and would've liked to see her try on something else. That belt made it look stupid. Ah well.

I liked that one too, 😔

I agree. She should have stood up for the dress she really wanted. Not to mention that belt actually disrupted the flow of that dress. It was too much IMO.

Really disliked the belt

Totally agree

definitely fit her theme better, and she loved it.

I think I might invite her to go check out bridesmaid dresses or something -- just get those steely, judgemental eyes away from that girl.

Haha your comment really made me laugh !! Best comment ever

God's gift to the fashion world also needs a (better) bra.

@@thekingsdaughter4233 That's all I could think of at the beginning. The lady needs a bra intervention.

this comment was amazing 😂😂

mom made her choose smthn showing less skin and looking more childish. she cant stand her daughter has grown up

The first dress was gorgeous but it's her decision that really matters.

@@illusionist1244 yup, mom might even be jealous of her daughter’s looks.

This mom is an excellent bully. Her daughter is freaking beautiful. I hope the bride and groom won't invite this disrespectful mother to their wedding if she continues to act like this.

My sister got to show skin on her wedding dress because she went with me to get the gown. There was no judgement on what she picked. On the day of the wedding, my jaw dropped to the floor/ deck because she got married outside. She had her hair colored and got her makeup professionally done. I got my makeup done by the same lady

I agree. The first dress was much better than the others.

I personally think it was too revealing for a wedding. People who you care about of all ages and tastes tend to be at your wedding.

it fit her so well too? the dress she chose makes her look like a little girl :( and the belt isnt it either

@@fayepatrice1672 yea um if she didnt think it was revealing her family may have seen her wear low cut tops lol

@@fayepatrice1672 if theres a wedding dress like this it’s not too revealing for a wedding lol

Totally agree

First one was stunning on her what does mama frumpy know

The color of the first one was a blue white. Too white for her skin.

Yep agreed First one was stunning.

agreed!! it fit the bride so well. it was so simple but so gorgeous and really gave it the “elegant vintage” vibe she wanted as well. i really wish the mom wasnt so negative!

No, she looked awkward and the colour made her look like a corpse. The second dress was nicest on her for cut. I’m afraid the mother was right.

That is a problem. The mom need to stay out of it.

@@alisonfraser3305 if it's the color, that would be an easy change. She wouldn't wear that very dress anyway, it will be made up when ordered. So if optic white does not suit her, have it done in ivory, champagne or blush. I don't suit pure white (makes me look like sick), and my dress was in cream white.

@@alisonfraser3305 if that was the concern all she needed was a little blush on her cheeks, however I didn't see a problem with the color at all. She was fair-skinned but definitely didn't look anything like a "corpse" 🤨

Agreed- the dress she chose was overly trendy and will be dated in no time, and that belt they put on her made her look stocky, cluttered, and busy. The first one was elegant, sophisticated and sparkly. Fit for a New Years wedding.

Well as long a they sell a dress - it’s a business. The dress he designed for Diana was horrendous and totally swamped her.

I believe his name is David.

@@sandragruhle6288 Actually "David Emanuel" sounds like a very affected made up name.

@@katrinamoore3520 Gotta agree there! I remember yelling at the TV "THAT'S her dress?! You gotta be kidding me!" Not very flattering at all. Now, FERGIE'S wedding dress was PERFECT for her!!!

I agree completely. And why do they never ask, "What do YOU do?"

@@BasicYTHandle fr

I think the reason they ask detailed questions about the fiance is to stop people trying in dresses just for fun or trying to get on TV. But they could use a better question than what their job is.

I HATE THAT!!!!

I don't know how much it's done in the UK version, but there have been multiple episodes of the Kleinfeld where either the bride has had a public figure status (being a singer, bodybuilder, or other sort of performer), or their fiance is someone famous enough. I'm guessing a lot of those people get on the show because of that, so I wonder if the question evolved as a way to 'naturally' bring it up and just stuck?

Mom is paying for it, and their relatives will come to witness the wedding. She gets a say. The first dress looked like a too tight nightgown-a little embarrassing for a wedding. Brides need to stop thinking the wedding is all about them. A wedding is a joining of two families to support the young couple as they go forward in life.

@@diane730 These are all sample gowns and the first dress was clearly a sample that was a size too small. The final dress would have fit properly. It looks nothing like a nightgown, that’s ridiculous, and just because someone is paying for it doesn’t mean they have the right to choose the dress. The other ones she tried on were very boring & conventional. Bride is a grown woman and capable of picking out her clothes.

@@diane730 The bride was very accommodating to her mother's wishes, she said she did not want a dress her mother didn't like, she acknowledged her mother's competence in helping her choose clothing, the only time she appeared to state her own wishes was when she said she didn't like lace and yet she was still willing to try it. In contrast the mother was ungracious and arrogant, it's always concerning when the mother thinks she knows better than the daughter and and takes pride in that. She clearly felt that her opinion is the one that matters most. The daughter is clearly used to giving in to her mums wishes and did so in record time here when mum didn't like the first dress. But was it necessary for mum to be so blunt, "I hate it, I hate everything about it" she just shut down her daughters moment of joy. I hope this marriage gives the daughter a chance to move out of her mother's sphere of influence.

I agree.

@@diane730 She gets a say but she gets a limited say. All the guests that come are just that, guests. And most of them will get little to no say at all. At the end of the day, only one person has to wear the dress. If you’re going to offer to pay for someone’s wedding dress just so you can control which one they choose, that makes you selfish.

Exactly 🙄

When I got married in 1974 my Mum helped me hem my dress (which I designed and made) and never said anything about whether she liked it or not...she wanted me to be happy. My second wedding a couple of decades later...same thing. She knew I knew my own mind.

I agree with you

@@CarolynMilburn what a wonderful mom you have

Another episode of mom should have stayed home

I wasn't into the beading on the neckline but I loveddd the shape and cut of it and how gorgeous the fabric looked on her. It was so bold I really wish she would have left with something similar. The other dresses looked so frumpy on her....

I didn't really like the first dress. The gathering made it look too tight in the waist area.

Hello Cara how are you doing today?

You are absolutely spot on.

Stop exaggerating. She values her Mum's opinion and that's why she brought her along. And from what I see it's her Mum who was paying for the dress......

I agree to a point. Shes a bit aggressive but I wouldn't call her "a very bad mother" that's a bit extra.

@@123staycee People in this comment section are always extra, and act like they are psychologists.

@@jenniferngure1136 she seems completely incapable of making any decision that her mother disagrees with. Which is not how you want your adult children to go through life, afraid of making choices that only affect themselves, because someone else doesn’t like it.

imagine this is your MIL lmao

This is why I went by myself to choose my dress, because both my mother and mother in law are bullies.

@@illusionist1244 OMG...how far away can we move! 🚈🛳🛫🛬🚀

Occasionally, the brides do not get married in that show dress; and that's only those we know of from the comments! This episode would be a good possibility.

@@illusionist1244 RUNNNNNN! ;) XD

The first dress was perfect. Her friends agreed. Then Mom jumped in. Mom is jealous of her daughter. So she didn't "like anything about it." And Mom got her way, again. Bet she's always been this way. Sorry, sad, but true.

I agree, they should have dressed up the first one the bride loved or pulled more satin fitted off the shoulder or sleeveless. So disappointed in the dresses they chose for this beautiful young woman.

Dad is probably henpecked

I actually HATE it when mums say that my mum always says this to me and it gets on my nerves I am sure that women just have children for some one to control and use as their puppets

I’m pissed off that such a terrible person got married, maybe her husband sucks too.

I think she said she’s been “right” for 26 years, not married for it. I took that to mean she’s always been right for as long as her daughter has been alive

Right?!

This is exactly what I was thinking!

I do think the bride was pleased with the one she picked. It will catch the light beautifully.

Lol...my mother is exactly the same. Can't stand being wrong about anything and is a bully too. Unfortunately my mother in law is worse, so I learnt very quickly to stick up for myself when I got married and neither of them were with me when I chose my dress.

@@kerrystone7375 i’m so sorry for you this must create such a toxic atmosphere while growing up especially getting it from several people!! i’m glad you managed to stick up for yourself and put some distance!!

She's a classic narcissist

Sometimes they just want it (the show) finally done and over with, instead of drawing it out any more. Sometimes the bride is tired, teary, upset and worn out (and sorry that she ever bothered with that show!), and just says yes to tie it up, and then goes for something different off-camera.

Who is going to pay? Wedding gowns are not cheap and they do not come off the rack they must be ordered months in advance, there may be a return policy but there will not be a full refund. Money matters are important.

Always the masculine looking mothers that put their pretty slim daughters down.

Plus the first two were way over budget.

That's the exact reason I went dress shopping by myself. My mother picked apart my dress choice, but too bad, it was bought and paid for...and it was MY choice! When I went dress shopping with my daughter, I was the polar opposite of my mother...I let my daughter choose what she wanted, and told her how beautiful she looked. My daughter has told me many times she doesn't know how I grew up with a mother like mine.

That was my mother’s one request, too. Thankfully I got married just as illusion necklines were becoming trendy (2018). Everybody won with my dress!

Yes. That is exactly what it is.

Perfect summary yes

You know it!! Very sad.

No that mom will continue right on after the wedding bullying the sil then controlling the grandchildren.

She's been with her fiance for 6 yrs why does moms dress opinion matter so much?

Because MOM is insecure about being fat. Can't have her daughter looking better than her - even on her wedding day.

@@clwbchbabycakes EXACTLY. Mum is a bitter old COW.

That’s what I think too.

Well she did like the 2nd dress.

@@mamablob2546 cause it’s hiding her figure.

I didn’t say one negative word when my daughter was shopping for her dress. I don’t understand how mothers can be so cruel. I did cry when she tried on the first dress because of her health problems we never thought she would live to be a bride. We were so blessed.

That's why the Bride NEEDS to PAY for the wedding dress/wedding HERSELF! No one can say anything about it; no one is holding the purse strings BUT the Bride! I realize lots of girl's have their "dream dress"; we all do. But they need to get their head out of the clouds; wake up and realize that maybe having Mommy and Daddy pay for everything will come with a noose to choke you! See if the shop you're dealing with will let you have a payment plan - mine did. OR...start saving NOW for your dream dress, even though it may be years before you decide to get married! There is no shame in that! OR...find a low-interest credit card you could use (yes, I know, few and far between, but still try).

Totally agree!

Hate the 'put a belt on/put a veil on' stupidity. That belt looked terrible on that dress. Prom time!

the belt totally ruined the lines of the dress and its design... clearly the bride wasn't happy with this dress..move over mom...

Start SAVING your MONEY NOW as MUCH as you CAN! You DON'T have to tell anyone; it's YOUR little secret! ;) Weddings are expensive and will only go up in price as time goes on. The money you start saving NOW can help you insure a wedding that YOU want; NOT Mum or Dad's version!

That was stunning on her!!

It's showing the daughter the MOM IS IN CONTROL...of everything! Sad.

"Princesses" are SOOOO Overrated and not suited to REAL Life!

@@susanwalters7937 Not really, I'm 47 and if I get married I still want a sexy ballgown. Lots and lots of floofy tulle. I'm like 5'4 140lbs.

@@gooberfries6692 GO for it, Girl! Rock it! I'm with you all the way! The "Princess" issue I have is that it makes little girls think they can't take care of themselves; a man must do it for them. There was a book written about it back in the 80's called "The Cinderella Complex". Things HAVE gotten better over time, but it is ALWAYS best if girls learn that THEY have to take care of THEMSELVES, and NOT depend on someone else to do it for them.

@@susanwalters7937 💝💝

Most likely, regret over the dress they chose, they want a do over, and it's the last bit of control over their daughter

Control issue; they may also NOT approve of the groom; i.e. derail the whole wedding.
