Former Miss America, Caressa Cameron, wants her bridesmaids to be comfortable in the dresses she picks, but that might be easier said then done. Catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC - Sky 133, Virgin 162, BT TV 323
Love it. I hope her friend can feel good about herself in it too. She is obviously a great person and losing so much weight, she needs to lose the voice in her head that makes her feel bad. Hugs to them all x
I prefer the long dress and I hope her God-Sister will be happy in a short dress. TBH it would be very hard for me to feel good in any dress with a former beauty queen as my fellow bridesmaids. I think there was scope for a combination of the long and short dresses because they will all suit the colour. Lovely group of people all working together to make the bride happy.
Say Yes to the Dress - I like it, but I REALLY would love it if you would put a photo of how they looked on the wedding day at the end. Inquiring minds want to know!
I think the beautiful thing about this episode is that there was drama. Will the friend feel good in a dress? Can the friend love herself? How will the bride react? there is still drama, but through the right kind of people and the right kind of encouragement, drama can be settled in a loving and respectful way.
@@BasicYTHandle While losing weight is a big physical achievement the real battle is mental. Many people who lose large amounts of weight need professional help accepting their new bodies.
i really respect how even though she was so insecure she wasn’t trying to make the entire appointment about that. you could tell she was rlly trying to keep herself together. you could everybody really cared about the bride. loved this episode
*"She's family, and you do anything you can for your family"* That's so sweet ❤️❤️❤️ And the bride has a beautiful soul ❤️ They all really do respect and support each other, which is amazing!
My mum is your standard Persian lady who wears the hijab on her head, and when she saw few clips on this show, she said ‘why do American girls always choose ugly and cheap looking dresses and think that they’re stylish’! 🤷🏻♂️
Can we acknowledge that the bride, aka Miss America, said she ordered a size 10 wedding dress and not a stereotypical size 0 or 2. This is the most beautiful episode I have watched
This was a great episode wedding dresses run very small my moms tiny petite friend who’s a 2 or 0 had to order a 6 so the bride is probably a 6 which is one size larger than most 5’7-5’10 models. Then there me who’s 5’0 and a size four and all dresses have over a foot of extra material vertically speaking 😭
Usually if your fit, muscular, you do fit into a bigger size and it's just because of muscle. My cousin ordered a 2 and ended up having to have it tailored to a 0, she's thin but not muscular. It's the same reason why DCC cheerleaders actually usually between a 4-6 and not the expected 0-2, they're muscular.
True...I feel Rita so much right now. I’m supposed to be in a wedding in October and love my dress yet hate me in it, because I’m so insecure about my body.
L J Try this: every morning, look in the mirror and tell yourself “My body is amazing. I like how I look.” You don’t have to believe it yet, but do it anyway, and see if there’s any change in your self-perception by the time the wedding rolls around. We’re trained from childhood to hate our bodies and wish we were different. And it’s all marketing bs, because you can only sell weight-loss programs and diet plans to people who hate their bodies. But it really does get inside your head, so to combat your insecurity, you need to replace those thoughts.
Caitie W will try. I’ve had self-image/body distortion issues since I was 17, but I’ll give anything a try. Thank you for your response! Everything you said makes sense.
Awe, I want to give Rita a hug. I haven't been through what she has, but I, just as almost every female has, knows what it's like to be insecure/self conscious about their body. When I was younger my parents took my makeup away from me as a punishment and I broke down in tears because I felt un-pretty without it. Now everyday I walk proudly without makeup. I hope she finds her self worth. 😊
Light Yagami I wanted to hug her too I actually cried 😢 aww girl I’m so sorry you went through that but yes you are so beautiful without makeup! We don’t need makeup to feel or look beautiful 💖💜💕
This comment is for Rita..Rita you have worked so hard to lose 140 lbs..When you came out in that dress and started crying my heart broke for you..You are absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, elegant, and quite sexy..All the bridesmaids look amazing..Out of the whole group you are the prettiest one..I think you should be Miss America..I hope you see and read this and makes your day brighter..Love you girl
Carolyn McMath the sizes for bridal gowns are not based on store sizes. There is no universal size chart like it is for men’s clothing. It is the type of measurements that seamstresses use. Depending on the style of gown you can be upwards to five sizes larger than what you normally wear. My regular size clothing is a 10 and my bridal dress is a size 16. The last thing you should ever be hung up on is the number! And if it really bothers you, cut that tag out!
Not joking this made me cry just seeing that women's sadness and knowing that so many people go through this . She is such a beautiful person and it's great that she has someone who tells her the real truth
I honestly relate to this so much, I teared up. I'm self conscious TO THE CORE, and I feel like whether I lose weight or not, it still wouldn't be enough, that I'll be haunted by my past body, and that I'll never feel beautiful. She looks so good, and I hope she has a wonderful life, including the bride💚💚💚 Edit: (Thank you all for the positive advice. Bless you all, I will try to reach my goal! 💕)
Dont be that self conscious.. People will judge you no matter wht.. Live for urself dress for urself.. Try to be comfortable in ur skin.. At the end of the day you have to love urself.. 😃💞
Hun, you look beautiful, beleive me . Get a very close and honnest friend to go do a little shopping with you, listen to each other and see how beautiful you really are. please. Many hugs .
I hope you reach you goal, but please don´t starve yourself :) Believe me, I know from experience that it takes time to adjust to a new body, after loosing weight, but after a time, no matter if that is months or years, you realize you aren´t "fat" anymore, please don´t starve youself because you "don´t feel" your new body, it takes time to adjust. Go shopping and try clothes, you wouldn´t try normally, than you realize, that your body changed etc. and ask friends who you trust what they think. Not people who think you are fishing for compliments are that are annoyed by that question, just people you know who are honest and not jeleous of your weight loss are just insecure in general.
Yup, during a weight loss or a weight gain journey, you need to help yourself mentally, just because you physically change doesn’t mean you’ll feel better.
I know. I wish she had more self confidence!! I guess she always felt like the odd man out being surrounded by beauty queens. But I hope by now she knows that she is beautiful too.
This has to be my favorite one there wasn’t no jealousy no cattiness everyone supporting each other like it should be and she even took a risk for her friend which most women would complain about the whole time till the bride leaves without a dress so I love it 🥰 👏🏾👏🏾
When she started crying, like the staggered breathing I started tearing up. She was trying so hard and I feel for her. It’s hard to see others struggle but she looks so great!
I love how genuine the entire group were! They were so supportive of their friend and that is the the best thing you’d want in a friend group. And Rita looks stunning! If only she could see that.
I am having this feeling right now too. People always told me I lost weight but I never see it. Now I'm about to be a bridesmaid for not one but TWO weddings. I can feel those tears like it hurt me 😭 but she looked so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite bridesmaids edition ever! ❤️ The bride wasn’t demanding, the bridesmaids were all in accordance w one another, there was genuine love in that room. I can’t imagine the amount of love that will be present at the party for this couple
Rita breaks my heart cause I see myself in her a lot. A lot of the things she’s saying I’ve said to myself and I know how hard it is to hate yourself because of your size.
That bridesmaid hit home for me. I've spent a lot of time, making sure everyone around me feels good, and knows they're beautiful. But I've never believed it to be true for me. I've been a big girl my entire life, and after junior high, by confidence just got worse, because I was bullied so bad, and made fun of for my weight. No one really saw me for anything else but that, and, although I have amazing friends now, that do see me for who I am, it's extremely difficult to believe. People don't realise, just how much their words can affect someone. I'm 21 now, and still struggle with the comments made to me when I was a preteen/teen. You never forget it. You can call a woman beautiful a million times, and she'll never believe you. But call her ugly once, and she'll believe she is, for the rest of her life.
Bless her. I can relate. I’ve ALWAYS been the fat friend. I’ve always been the chubby girl. It’s hard to be standing there exposed in a room full of tall and thin women.
I was nervous going in knowing this was a wedding for Miss America, and it only got worse when I found out about the detailed manual. However, this lady has a heart of gold, as does the entire wedding party. The support they gave one another was touching. I hope the bridesmaid this show focused the most on in this clip gains a sense of accomplishment and respect for herself, because she is a gem, regardless of weight. She probably weighs less than I do right now. I am doing more for self-care, and will be even more active when it gets warmer outside. In the meanwhile, most of my favorite clothes have an elastic waistband, so I can wear them regardless of my size. I hope everything will go/did go wonderfully at the wedding and beyond.
Omg she lost 140 pounds!!! That’s amazing ! She looks so good, I love that she cares so much about the bride and wanted her to have a amazing time. This is the definition of best friends. She’s really brave for going out of her comfort zone to make sure everyone had a great time !
Ow. This one got me. That woman is me, in every clothing shopping trip I've ever been on. She looks gorgeous and they're right she SHOULD be patting herself on the back. 140 down? Amazing and hard work to accomplish. I'm so glad to see all the bridesmaids and bride supporting her (and even giving her looks of "wtf" when she downed herself). That Miss America's a genuine person, purposely trying to pick a dress to push her friend into seeing how gorgeous she is, even if it's out of her comfort zone. That kind of body dysphoria doesn't just go away easily, especially not after a life-time of conditioned dysmorphic perception. Power to her, hope she fully came out of that wedding feeling as gorgeous as she ought to!
Rita's background music when they introduced her was kinda sweet at first, and then it ended so weirdly. Like, it was almost comical, and it gave me weird future vibes about Rita (like foreshadowing), but she was fine. Lololol.
Those two that she held up as not being flattering in the beginning? Would totally be flattering. Probably more than the dress they went with, but I'm sure she'll look cute in that once it's fitted.
So many times I watch this show and the bridal party is so rude to the larger women. The love that this bride has for this woman was so much more than I expected. This was so incredibly sweet. ❤️
The bridesmaid looks amazing, I hope she knows that she is so beautiful and has such a good heart ❤️ the bride does a great job supporting her and truly recognizes her beauty
I loved the love, support and caring that the bride and her God-sister had for each other. I also loved how all of the bridesmaids were caring and supportive of the bride and each other. The God-sister has much to be proud of. I hope that she sees how beautiful she is.
She’s a SUPER TROOPER! What an incredible friend - to sacrifice her own level of genuine comfort, for the bride. She could have backed out - BUT SHE DIDN’T ! 💥
That bride has the spirit. She doesn't want everyone to please her taste, because "It's her big day", but she sees them as what they are, friends and family, and she deeply cares for them.
This was such a beautiful episode. The former Miss American was so supportive of her friend that lost 140 pounds and is struggling with body image issues. Even the rest of her party showed her so much empathy and were so supportive of the bride. Unfortunately the second half who had a lovely down to earth bride was afflicted with her MOH who happened to be her 17 year old sister who thought she was THE fashionista. Her mom was there and while they didn't show it I think mom must have had a word with her. All I can say is that she better watch this one real close because she thinks she is more knowledgeable/sophisticated than she actually is and can't wait to experience life and all it has to offer. She has a beautiful figure and is a pretty girl. There is definitely a lot of rivalry between the sisters.
You can just see the pain in her eyes. How nervous she is because everyone was looking at her. I couldnt hold back my own tears. This resonates with me a lot. Touched me on a personal level. She looked amazing. Godbless.
She will definitely look great. As a plus size girl myself, I know how hard it is to accept yourself for the way you look. It'll never be enough. Ever. You go girl!! Rock that dress and show em how it's done. Honestly though, every single lady there was amazing! Kudos.
Rita is beautiful woman and soul!! I so felt for her, and that bride is a true true friend!! Rita is also such a great friend for going on TV and doing this for her god sister!! Applause to these ladies
When I hear the word “pageant girls” I head snobby, bratty etc. But these girls are one of the most kind, heartfelt group of bridesmaids and brides I’ve ever seen, I understand what fits is feelings. It’s hard for me to lose wait but she looks bomb, she looks stunning, glowing everything. ✨✨🦋
I love this episode and I love how the bride let her know she was beautiful and the friend went with what the bride wanted that’s what a true friend do
This was beautiful.. both women have amazing souls and genuinely love one another. The bride only sees her friend/ family and nothing else. The bridesmaid wants her friend/family to be happy.. not many ppl like these two in the world..
bruh everyone needs a friend like her. you see all these other bridesmaids refusing to wear the dress the bride loves and here she is saying that if she liked it she would wear it like bruh i love her
I love how the brides so supportive of the friend, and how she wants to make her feel comfortable. I also love how the bridesmaids respect the bride and the one who lost weight didn't want to cause a scene but she couldnt help it, and its obvious she was just anxious and feeling down when she cried, not just trying to make it about her, and the bride was trying so hard to help her accept her body, thats true friendship right there
Omg I'm crying. Their relationship is beautiful. I love seeing them just loving and caring on each other instead of being bitchy or self involved. Yas queens!! Build each other up and you both shine!!!
