Picking out the perfect wedding dress can be nerve-wracking, so it’s important for brides to do their dress shopping with supportive, patient people they can count on. Well, that simply was not the case in the video below.
Mom Degrades Daughter’s Looks As She Tries On Wedding Dress. Then, A Horrified Shopper Steps In
#1
On the hidden camera show What Would You Do?, an overweight daughter is insulted by her mom for not losing weight for the wedding. The daughter thinks she's found the winning dress, but is quickly shot down by her mean mom.
The conversation between the mother and daughter gets louder and louder, and it's clear Mom has very strong opinions about the way her daughter should look. "You look fat in this dress!" she says, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. How humiliating!

Before this segment, the situation was reversed, and the bride-to-be was deemed too thin. How would others react then?
#3
Even though the mother and daughter are actors, this experiment does a great job of shedding light on body image and societal pressures to look a certain way. I commend the woman who interrupts the mother to stick up for the bride-to-be.

What would you do if you overheard this conversation? Would you get involved, or would you shy away from the situation?
