Wedding planning can be stressful, especially when it comes to finances. However, when one woman’s stepsister asks her to use their late mother’s fabric for her wedding dress, she hesitates. Despite offering to make a dress for her biological sister free of charge using the fabrics, the woman feels uncomfortable using the same fabric for her stepsister’s dress. This leads to tension and even calls from her stepmother and father, who are strapped for cash. Although the woman is still making the dress for free, she stands her ground and refuses to use the sentimental fabric. But is she in the wrong? Let’s take a look at the comments and reactions to see what others think of this situation.
