I felt uneasy.” Read how the whole situation evolved right below, and share your thoughts about it in the comment section.

Absolutely. No need to further explain. Mom doesn't need to justify her reason.

The world would be much easier if people would accept 'no' without complaining and whining.

Also would be easier if people would have more common sense and not even ask such questions...

It seems creepy and weird anyway. Even if I didn't have a personal attachment, knowing the history of the dress would be enough for me to nope on out of there. I mean, "She was so young, so looking forward to getting married and then she just died mysteriously..." "But it's so pretty! I wanna wear it!!!"
