The wedding dress holds a special place in the hearts of brides-to-be. It's not merely a piece of clothing; it's an embodiment of their hopes and aspirations for the future.

With meticulous attention to detail, brides scour boutiques and online stores, hunting for the perfect dress that aligns with their vision. Interestingly, brides who've carefully selected their dresses might feel a sense of ownership over their chosen design.

Thus, the idea of someone else donning the exact same attire, even unwittingly, can trigger feelings of disappointment and frustration. Our story today paints a clear picture of the sentiment surrounding this special attire.

Our narrator (OP) explained that she had just purchased a beautiful dress for an event on Amazon and was happy to show it off to her friends on their group chat. The dress caught the eyes of one of her friends, Laura, who asked for the link to this stunning outfit.

Days later, without any knowledge of Laura's intentions, OP innocently wore her luscious dress to the particular event she had gotten it for. Her outfit was just too good to keep to herself, so she decided to post some stunning shots on social media.

Surprisingly, OP got home to some angry texts from Laura, who was furious about her post. Apparently, Laura had purchased the same dress through the link and was prepping to wear it for her wedding.

What makes this confrontation a bit bizarre is that Laura's wedding is scheduled to hold in 3 years' time. Regardless, she doesn't want anyone donning the same dress that she plans to wear.

A little background

OP's friend ended up getting the same dress for her wedding, and is upset that OP posted her's on social media

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

"In three years no one is going to remember your dress."

"NTA...She ruined everything herself."

"This.... is a level of crazy that I cannot comprehend."

"I would remove her from your circle and move on."

"You had no way of knowing and was nice enough to send her the link."

"Doubt she’ll need it if she keeps behaving like this, fiancé will end up dumping her a**."

"This is crazy behavior."

"No, you're NTA. And Laura is not someone you want as a friend."

"Shes full of it if shes saying she cant get a dress in time."

"Talk about an overreaction! She’s beyond ridiculous. NTA."

"NTA...You bought the dress first. She only saw it because of you."

"

"NTA and I hope Laura's fiance will realise what a giant red flag this is and call off the wedding."

The Reddit community is solidly behind OP on this matter. The commenters see no reason why her friend would expect no one else on the planet to wear a similar dress as hers.

In addition, commenters have pointed out that OP's friend only got to know about that dress because of her. So she should be thankful rather than upset.
