Just be thankful that she's doing black and not animal print. My FMIL saw a 'beautiful' giraffe print dress on Vanna White the other day and she was going on and on about how nice it was. I think she's trying to give me a heart attack.

Re: FMIL wearing Black...
I think black looks great (esp in pics!) I told my mom/FMIL I didn't want them to wear black but that was only because all of my things are shades of brown and copper and I didn't want them to clash. Otherwise, I would have been all for it.

Re: FMIL wearing Black...
mine is too!!!!! It wouldn't ordinarily be my first choice, but when she asked me, and told me she found the 'dress of her dreams' I couldn't say no. Then when I saw it, I was thrilled. Seriously......choose your battles. Even if you don't ideally want her to wear black, I'd let this one go. Its sooo hard to find a dress. If she found one she liked,,,,,,let her be happy.

Re: FMIL wearing Black...
Both my mother and FMIL have brought up the idea of wearing black...
my mother decided not to look for a black dress since many of our guests will be wearing black since we are having a winter wedding.
and my FMIL might still wear black- I don't have a problem with it at all.

I think black is always appropriate, but that is just me. I know some dont want them too but if she wanted to she could

My MIL did and honestly, it was a gorgeous dress and made her look great. Its a color that tends to be very flattering as well.

I think it depends on the outfit - if it's not a festive type dress (i.e., if it looks like a funeral outfit) then no. But if it's nice, personally I don't see a problem.
My best friend's mom wore a black gown with lace to her wedding and it looked very beautiful and elegant.
I completely agree. If its a nice elegant black, then its a-ok in my book..but if it looks like you're going to a funeral..then no. I am actually a big fan of black..I think its a very elegant color. My mom is actually thinking about wearing black..and I wouldnt mind at all.

I agree. FMIL tried on this dress today and really loved it! I knew she would be happy and feel beautiful wearing the dress! She looks elegant and if the woman who brought my Fh into this world wants to wear black I say go for it!
