I was bride-shamed by my own mum when I made the mistake of asking her what she thought of my wedding dress
IT’S arguably the most important dress you’ll ever wear.
So it makes sense that Alex Murphy wanted to get her mum’s opinion on the gown she was thinking of choosing for her wedding day.

Mm Lynda told her it was “too big” and to stop pretending to be Princess DianaTiktok/@almurph18

But she couldn’t have predicted her mother’s brutal response when she asked what she thought of the dress.
“Oh my God, I love it,” Alex said as she modelled the gown, which featured puffy lace sleeves, a plunging neckline and a huge train.
She then FaceTimed her mum to “give her a quick flash”, with her mother quickly telling her: “It’s a little too much”.
“Do you want me to be blunt?” she then asked, before continuing, “it’s too big for you, the train is too long, you’re not Princess Diana.
“I don’t know, that’s leaning towards a little Markle,” she added, referring to Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle.
“Lynda Murphy!” Alex chastised her mum.
But she wasn’t to be stopped, as she then told her daughter: “It makes you look too big, like you’re taking over the whole frigging room.”
With her hands on her hips, Alex said: “Noted. Alright Lynda, we’ll call you later.”
Perhaps realising she’d gone a touch too far, Lynda then told Alex: “You look beautiful”.
After the pair had exchanged “love yous”, Alex said: “This is why people don’t take their mothers wedding dress shopping.”
“Mum gives hilariously BRUTAL opinion on my wedding dress,” Alex wrote over the video, adding in the caption, “I guess she didn’t like it”.
“As a bridal consultant, this is exactly why people don’t bring their mothers shopping,” one person commented on the video.
“Found my dress without my mum, showed her photos and said it was ‘too blingy and too much’,” another said.
“Took her to the shop and she said see that’s more like it, much better than the other one, I don’t like the other one – it’s the same bl**dy dress!”
“This is why I don’t want to take my mum bridal shopping,” a third wrote.
With another insisting: “That’s OK, she’s not wearing it!”
Ice skater Alex, who won Dancing on Ice with Joe Swash in 2020, is due to marry Paul Klein – one half of presenting duo Woody and Kleiny – this December.
And she couldn’t help but laugh at the end of the phone call after Lynda had weighed in on the dress optionTiktok/@almurph18
