    I think the pressure in Asian cultures to be petite is much bigger than in Western culture. Whenever I talk with Asian girls they always say the same.
    She's beautiful and she deserves to feel special.

      Petite refers to height, common mistake. One can be 300 pounds and petite.
      That said, in the Asian community there is a more idealised woman, a tiny one, as Asian men do not tend to be big, and like most men do they like to feel big next to their lady. That makes it that much harder for the ladies, though their body types and diets generally are on the lean side.
      I love this couple, she has a great figure, loved her in the 2nd dress the most, however in the end she has to be comfortable and happy.

    About the plus size idea. She is saying that in the part of Asia that she is from, most of the shops cater to sizes much much smaller. So this makes her plus size compared to most of the other shoppers.
    I went to high school with mostly Asians in my classes. I am not Asian, and I felt sooooo big compared to my classmates. When I moved to Vermont, I felt so small compared to everyone. So in the US and UK, she is not plus-sized, she's just a beautiful curvy woman.

      But she is NOT averaged size in Asia. You are projecting American culture onto her culture.
      The reasons why shops turned her down is because they didn't have clothes her size. She needed bigger. How does that translate to American culture except as "plus size?"
      Listen. It is just a description. No one said it diminished her value as a person. The description tells her what shops she can buy clothes in in HER country, not ours. That is all.
      If you think she should stop feeling plus size, then she will feel WORSE. Why? She will go to regular shops and feel fat. She won't fit into any of the clothes there. Why not accept what she is - it is not terrible - and go to stores where the clothes fit her?

Mee, you are a beautiful young woman with a gorgeous real figure, healthy figure and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Although fiance should not be there to see his beautiful bride in her wedding dress as it is unlucky, his attitude towards Mee as a person and her build has got to be commended. I wish you both a long and happy life together. Hugs from Norah, Scotland

    I think she is lovely. Her fiance was so sweet and supportive. I'm not sure what country she lives in, but I think what they consider heavy there, we would consider only a small bit more than average. Remember, the camera adds weight, so she is probably a little smaller than you think. I adored her, and I hope she and the fiance had a fabulous wedding. ❤

    Is there a three dress limit? Give her another dress or two to try on in different fabrics and then let her choose which one she wants. I think they were all too lacy and old looking. Perhaps a plainer, less lacy design would have given her the feeling she was looking for.

    It drives me crazy that they call size 12-14 plus size. I once wore a 20 after I quit smoking years ago. Then I got down to a 14. I was thrilled at my size. But still a plus size according to “them”. Now I’m a 10 but sometimes wear a 12 depending on the item of clothing and who makes it. Sizes In clothes are a joke. When I was growing up there was no size 0. If you feel beautiful then that’s all that matters. Why was her fiancé there to see the dress? Maybe they decided not to have a surprise. Hope they are happy forever. ❤

    Italy was the same. Every store was size 4-8. Size 10 was rare. 12 and above was non-existent. Many Italians and Asians tend to be shorter and more petite which is why their sizing runs small. Height and skeletal structure make a HUGE difference to size and weight. Two people can have the same BMI & body measurement ratios but be completely different sizes based on their build. I think this is why US/UK sizing tends to be larger. Westerners tend to be taller, broader and just bigger-boned in general than some other populations. This is true of both the men and the women. My friend is a size 10 but she is 6ft tall and weighs only 60kgs so she is literally skin and bones. My other friend is the exact same size as this borderline anorexic friend (size 10) but this girl is very short and weighs 80kgs so she is actually quite overweight. I weigh less than her but I am a size 14 because I am over a foot taller. I'm two sizes bigger than her but I weigh less and my measurements are smaller. Don't even get me started on what muscle mass does to the scales vs dress size! Bottom line.... dress size & scales mean absolutely nothing unless you have context. Unfortunately, this fact is rarely discussed. Which is why so many young men and women place value on these arbitrary sizes/weights that are deemed "ideal" yet they are actually making assumptions based on a numbers that they often don't even understand.

    Imagine bridal shops "turning away" a potential client! Heresy! Plus, this bride is UK size 12 which is a US 8, and based on her apparent height she would be an 8P. She is lovely and being an engineer, she's probably very smart too.
