Question

When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me ,if it zips(拉上），it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size make it impossible. When mom told me something didn't suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.

To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚）last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size, “she said."

There was no bigger size, I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course,but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.

And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom's eyes. “You look beautiful!" she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.

This one didn't zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn't say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn't buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.

A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.

And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.
