I didn't, I don't think it's necessary and she didn't seem to mind. Ask her how she feels about it.

I went with my FMIL....I am so glad I did too- it was a nice day for the two of us...and I got to give her a different opinion than her own! It was a good bonding day!

I'm going with her I believe. My FMIL doesn't drive and FH or FFIL won't take her so I'm the only one, unless she finds something in a catalog. Hopefully we'll start doing that soon!

No one went with me gown shopping, and I didn't go with either mother gown shopping. We live in different places. It wasn't a big deal for us.

FMIL asked me to go with her (I really didn't want to) but told her to make appointments and I'd be happy to come along. I did it that way because I knew she wouldn't be organized enough to do that. And I'm right. But 3 months away and she has nothing!
She actually bought an $8,000 dress in Bergdof Goodman and returned it. But not before telling everyone at my shower about it and how much it cost.
She can be disgusting! But I guess its better than the wedding gown she looked at. And now that we're three months out, I know she won't be able to get a white gown. ha!

My FMIL went on her own and looked, found what she liked, then invited me to go with her to decide btw 2. She bought the one I liked. It lasted about 30 minutes total.

Nope, mine lives upstate and ordered hers online. My FSMIL went shopping with her sister, but I did offer to go with her, since she lives in the neighborhood and didn't want to pick someone elses color and step on anyones toes....in-laws...grrr

Initially, I didnt. My sisters went with her but we all have the same taste. Then they stopped making the dress so she had to go back and order something else. THEN I went with her.

I think it depends on your relationship with FMIL. Mine wanted me to come, and since I like her, I wanted to go. It was a great afternoon!!

I didn't, she didn't ask and I didn't offer. But I lived in the city and she is in LI, so it wasn't really convenient for me. My SIL went with her.

I didn't go shopping with her, I never even seen her dress, I just know what color it is. Don't drive yourself crazy, you're not obligated to go with her.

I didn't go with my FMIL. Believe me...it was better that way. I would have been freaking out! It all worked out ok though

I offered to go but she ignored me and went with SIL (her step son's wife).
