Is anyone having a problem

with their MOG and her dress?

Mine wants to wear a pant suit... Is it wrong for me to not want her too?

Re: Is anyone having a problem

No...FMIL is great and I love her ideas. If she wanted to wear a pant suit or something that would make her more comfy I would 'allow' it.... as long as it fits in with the dressiness of the day let her go with it. You can always make something like a pant suit more dressy with accessories.

Re: Is anyone having a problem

I didn't even discuss that with her yet....sorta scared to... She's a strict Irish woman...even my FH is scared of her. Soo...I may just let her wear whatever the hell she wants! HA

Re: Is anyone having a problem

I know- but I guess I feel like some of the suits that she has looked look like they are for a party. They are not dressy at all. I get the sense that she does not want to have her hair or make up done....

My mother on the other is like- this is my last chance to look like a diva -so lets go for it.

I just want them to look equally as lovely....

Any suggestions for MOB dress sites/stores?

If that is what your FMIL wants to wear ... then let her wear it .... They are funny like that .

I think she would wear whatever she would feel most comfy in! it'll show through in her smile

Re: Is anyone having a problem

Fh's mom mentioned to me that she'd be more comfortable in a pantsuit.. at first I was like noo I want you to wear a dress and feel really pretty but actually when it comes down to it , she's going to look pretty regardless, I want her to be comfortable and up on the dance floor dancing..because she LOVES to dance..

Some of the pantsuites now-a-days are actually pretty nice...

I think my mother would rather wear a pantsuit, but I won't allow it. She never wears a dress or anything remotely dressy ever, so she can deal for one night lol.

Re: Is anyone having a problem

Yes. My FMIL wanted to have a pants suit too. Both FH & I both told her no. But I told her to give me the photo of the pants suit she wanted to see if a seamstress could make the same top she liked with a dress/skirt bottom. She liked that idea so thats what we're working on.

Re: Is anyone having a problem

Nope...my FMIL is soooo classy that I am 10000% sure she will pick something elegant and appropriate. There are beautiful, flowy pantsuits out there...I wouldn't mind it.

Re: Is anyone having a problem

FMIL is so sensitive of my wishes. she's amazing. sorry yours is being difficult don't think it's out of line to ask her to wear a dress. you may want to have FH do the talking tho.

if it makes you feel better, i went to a wedding on saturday where the MOG was wearing white--not ivory, not gold, not champagne.

bright, pure, white!

Re: Is anyone having a problem

My FMIL wants me to go shopping with her as she wants my advice on helping deciede what to wear! I think it will be fun!

As long as the pantsuit is dressy it could look really nice!

Re: Is anyone having a problem

My FMIL got a gorgeous dress. The only I problem I had was that she got the dress before my Mom. IMO that is bad ettiquette.

Re: Is anyone having a problem

I feel like I'm such an uncaring bride I wasn't planning on asking her - I think FH would care more than I do. As dressy as I'd like everyone to be, I just want them to be comfy without looking like schleps. I guess the only ones I'm imposing my wishes on are my BMs and possibly my mom just a lil bit - otherwise I don't care much. But I know I'm NOT in the norm!

Re: Is anyone having a problem

no, I would prefer that she wear a dress too, but I wouldnt force it if I were you, I would have your FH talk to her about it

Re: Is anyone having a problem

i think that you shoudl let her wear whatver she feels ocmfortable in. i am assuming that you do not think a pant suit is dressy enough but i really woudl not even worry about it bc all it comes down to is one picture that is in your albulm

Re: Is anyone having a problem

Not at all! I think you have an opinion as to what is worn. A pants suit isn't appropriate for FMIL to wear JMO. My FMIL thinks that she has time to get a dress. The wedding in 4 1/2 months away!

ETA: maybe she can get a pantsuit that looks like a dress? I believe chadwick's has something like that.chadwick's
