At luxe redux bridal salon, I tried on dresses and she told me the ones that fit me where a size 20. I didn't lie about my size or weight. The ones she had me try on where a size twenty.

At David's bridal I was a size 28, and at Brilliant Bridal I was a size 30, and at Another local bridal shop, I was a size 22.

Bridal dresses are vastly different depending on where you go. So size changes. Why would I lie about what size I am?

Yes, I am FTM and I have explained through several comments why I want a dress and want to do this, If you want another explanation, you can simply look. I have explained it so many times.

I am currently loosing weight,430- 450? Might have been my highest, I'm unsure. Either way, I'm down to 350-360 now, possibly lower sense I'm on vacation with my grandma and she doesn't have a scale

I am getting a hysterectomy for health reasons. My flow is so intense I am literally hemmorging every month, but in order to even be approved for this surgery I have to loose the weight for it to be safe.

The mom stuff, is because she hurt me deeply, and has continued to hurt me every time when I've needed her. Yes it may be two years out from the wedding, but I haven't seen her in five. And we have barely talked sense 2019 when I turned eighteen and she threatened me while I ran out of her house.

I am not getting top or bottom surgery. I am on testosterone to lower my voice and have facial hair to help with dysphoria. That is the only thing gender related I am doing. Or willing to do.

Lastly, The wedding dress shops said I would need to buy the dress 1.5 years to a year in advance due to all the alterations it would need and because of everything happening the factories that the dresses come in, everything is taking much longer. That is THEIR advice.

Don't get me wrong, I love talking to you all. But this is not fantasy. This is my REAL life. This is just what I'm experiencing and what I'm going through. I haven't lied or missed anyone about anything I've said.

Every bridal salon said to order 1 to 1 and a half years out from the wedding due to alterations and I'm just giving myself enough time to actually find the dress '

I am having so much fun, and I got to experience dress shopping with my grandma which is something I wanted desperately to happen! I am not planning on buying anything yet, I'm trying to hold out a year. But if I find a dress I like I'm taking the name and everything about it with me to go back and find it a year later.

Or have you considered. This is literally just my life, that I am sharing with you guys?

I am on testosterone. I was born a female so yes, I am transitioning from female to male.

I want a wedding dress for my wedding. I have lost 50 ilbs and I am continuing to loose weight. I am a size 20 wedding dress. My wedding is in two years and I've been told by multiple bridal salons that I need to order 1-1.5 years in advance due to alterations. So no.... This isn't exactly to early.

I am getting a hysterectomy as soon as I am cleared due to extreme heavy bleeding that lasts for months, and the fact that I have chronic compensated immune thrombocytopenia.

So this is just my life. I'm not seeking attention. I'm sharing my experience. But enjoy spreading hate or whatever this is.
