A Little Annoyed About Mother Of The Bride Dress

I went dress shopping with my Mom and Sister's and one is married and the other is just waiting for the engagement ring LOL (I hope he does it soon! The suspense is killing me!) But anyway, my Mom is a little bit bigger so we went to Estelle's (ih ate this place) and then David's Bridal because they have a good selection for bigger women. My Mom tried on two dresses, one I hate the dress but it looked great one her it just wasn't glitzy enough it didn't state MOTHER OF THE BRIDE, it was more like I am going to a nice wedding. The other one I loved it was glamourous but not over the top. My FMIL is very over the top (as we all know) So I want my Mom to be done up more LOL

My Mom told me she wants to go with the first one because my Married sister says it's nicer and she knows I hate it. I guess I am annoyed because everytime we do something my sister has to put it like she did it better or hers was nicer or i am incompetent of doing a great job, and telling my Mom to wear that dress was like a slp in the face. My other sister keeps referring to when she gets married, and its only annoying because well she isn't planning her wedding we are planning mine.

Sorry for whining just annoyed LOL

can you tell your mom you would love it if she wore the second one since you love it and you want her to look great and not be out shinned by ur mil..tell her it would make you happy on your day

I understand the sibling rivalry thing that is going on here. Why not scrap both dresses and go shopping again just you and your mom. I mean I understand that you HATE the first dress, and she shouldn't wear anything that you HATE, but you do want your mom to feel comfortable in her skin that day. Maybe all that bling isn't your mom's style. Maybe you just need to keep looking and you will find something you both like.

We got my mom's dress at Totally You. They had tons of sizes.

I know you want your mom to be WOW but in all honesty you have to let her pick whats going to make her feel comfortable. I HATE HATE HATE both my moms dress and my FMIL's dress but what am I going to say nope keep looking. Plus who cares what they are wearing you want to be the center of attention
