The most important thing is that your mom is comfortable. If she would be happier in the dress she wore to your sister's wedding, then she should wear it....regardless of what the MoG is wearing. Doesn't tradition dictate that the MoG takes the MoBs lead anyway?
I have a similar situation - although my mom is dead, I do have a special aunt. Her dress is MUCH fancier than the MoG - but it makes her happy and she's going to wear it!
Your mom is too nice : )
I have the opposite problem! My mom was originally talking about wearing a pantsuit! Fortunately, my aunt talked her out of it, because it is inappropriate for the type of wedding we are having. Then she wanted a red dress (what's the saying about not outshining the bride?). Anyway, I figured that I would bring my favorite aunt along and have her help my mom choose something "appropriate".
If your mother's are friendly, and you can speak to his mother openly, maybe have his mother call yours and suggest...Or even get outfits to match...
Your mom is too nice : )
