If the words “formal dress shopping” make your stomach drop, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m talking about the very real emotional scars that can come from being the “fat girl” when it comes to clothes, especially formalwear. From prom dresses to bridesmaid fittings to even shopping for my own wedding gown, I share the comments, judgments, and experiences that still echo in my mind every time I walk into a dressing room.

And here’s the thing: my body was different sizes in each of those moments. But the shame and anxiety followed me anyway.

We’ll talk about why those experiences stick with us, how the dressing room becomes a place of judgment instead of celebration, and the truth many of us need to hear: our bodies were never the problem.

If shopping for clothes still brings up old feelings, this episode is for you!
