Does this dress look that bad?

I know this dress is too tight on me, but it's too late to get it to a tailor. I LOVE this dress. It's the dress my mom wore to her college graduation. My sister did as well. I want to wear for my graduation pics. I don't care if it's uncomfortable, but I do care if it's going to look horrible on the pictures. What do you think?

I take a lot of courses with this dude. On one of them, there was a situation where some girls in class handed in their essays and the teacher said they were clearly chatgpt. Instead of cancelling those girls' essays, the teacher cancelled the assignment altogether and gave us a choice: either do an extra assignment or have the final count a lot more (80% of the grade). This is how the teacher solved it. This dude was very -justifibly- angry.

The problem is that we had another class with our tutor and he started going on about how it was unfair, how we were all sheep who didn't stand up for anything, blablabla. The teacher himself told him there was nothing to be done and it wasn't worth getting so worked up over (when I tell you he was worked up, I mean it. He started calling the girls idiots and I swear he was about to cry). I tried to tell him that the problem was already solved and that the teacher was in a difficult position. Our tutos tried to tell him as well. He's not the kind that listens.

In the end, I got frustrated because he was wasting everyone's time and frankly, this anger was something he had to work through on his own or with his therapist or whatever. This is when I said: "maybe you should just go to a rage room and break something" referring to the fact that all he was doing was ranting, not actually fixing anything or proposing anything, the actual purpose of our tutoring sessions.

Today I saw him in class and we were never really friends, but he seemed a lot more contained, like he didn't even want to speak in class. At first I didn't really care XD honestly not my problem, but then I saw he had deleted me from insta and my friends told me I was very mean. I don't particularly care if I was, but I honestly don't think I was. I just think this dude has a lot of anger management issues (he's angry every class at everything and everyone).

I want to make clear that I don't think he wasn't valid in being angry. I think that was a very valid feeling. I just think there are spaces for everything, and our tutoring session has no business becoming his therapy, especially when he's so unwilling to actually listen.

So am I the asshole for telling him to take his anger elsewhere?

Edit: Reading this again, I think I should clarify: when I say it was "some girls" who got the assignment cancelled, I didn't mean two or three. There were four of them who sort of pushed our teacher over the edge (she said their work was clearly ai), but the teacher mentioned that at least half of the class used ai in some way (not as blatantly as those girls, but still). So it wasn't that easy to just cancel those girls' essays, that's why she chose to cancel the assignment altogether.
