Mum blasts 4ft daughter’s wedding dress choice as ‘too sexy’ on Say Yes To The Dress
A PETITE bride clashed with her mum on Say Yes To The Dress over a grown her mum slammed as being “too sexy”.
Steph, who is 4ft tall and suffers from a rare genetic disease, was excited to try something sleek for her special day.
In the final episode of the series, Steph went to bridal store Ava Rose Hamilton to pick out a dress for the big day.
The occasion was not only a dream come true for Steph, who has always felt held back by her size, but also for mum Theresa, who can’t wait to see her daughter walk down the aisle.
Excited to try something on the sexier side, Steph is given a lacy gown with a plunging neck line to try.
Although her friends cheer when she emerges in the eye-popping dress, Steph and Theresa end up clashing over whether it is appropriate.
Theresa made her thoughts known and said: “It’s too sexy, Steph. I know Steph wants sexy, but this is too much for me.”
Meanwhile Steph said: “I don’t think so at all. It’s my wedding day and I would like sexy on my wedding day.”
Thankfully for Theresa, Steph ends up deciding the dress isn’t for her due to the pattern.
The bride explained: “I like the coverage, but I’d like a more modern lace.”
Theresa agrees about the design, and says: “The train’s a bit too sharp, it looks like her out of sleeping beauty!”
Luckily, Steph manages to find a fitted dress with a sparkly bodice that she falls in love with – and her mum gives her seal of approval.
The bride-to-be gushed: “This dress is my favourite out of all three because the bodice is really beautiful. It’s like the first one but with the perfect skirt to match. It ticks all the boxes.”
And there are more emotional surprises in store, with Theresa gives Steph a very special gift due to Steph’s dad dying seven years ago due to cancer.
Theresa broke down in tears as she said: “Sweetheart, there’s just one thing. I know dad can’t be with us, but we had dad’s ashes put in a ring. I just want you to have it so that dad’s with us.”
Steph said she planned to sew the precious ring into the dress, and added: “A little part of my dad will be with me on the day.”
Say Yes To The Dress UK airs tonight from 9pm on TLC.
