Are the friends more likely to be honest or more likely to worry about hurting your feelings?
Is the dress itself quite fabulous and could it possibly be your friends love the dress so much they didn't really pay attention to how well it suited you? A man might be less interested in the actual dress and more interested in how you look.
I'd be inclined to think your husband was trying to be honest about how well the dress suits you, not calling you fat or being rude about you. He probably thinks you're beautiful and would love to see you dressed in glad wrap.
Unless he's a real poopoohead. That's your call to make.
i would listen to my dh, i have put things on in the past and been very thankful that hes told me its not flattering! gosh if he can't tell me then who can.
