My mom got her dress a few weeks ago and is really in love with it. It's the right color for her, it's understated just like she is and it looks fantastic on her.
So, then my FMIL went out yesterday after I told her my mom found her dress at Nordstrom and told her she got it in champagne and blue (I actually showed her a picture of the dress) but wasn't sure which one she'd keep yet, and bought a dress. She is also in love with it...loves the color, loves the beading etc.
While I think the colors are fine and complimentary, I am worried about a few things:
First, are the dresses competing against each other? Is the beading just too loud on FMIL's? Is it a problem that they are the same kind of fabric and that the skirts are nearly identical?
Honestly, I think they are fine together!!! They don't look too similar and the fact that one is sleeveless and the other is long-sleeved really sets them apart. I wouldn't worry if I were you

Will your FMIL wear a jacket to cover her arms or will it be sleeveless?

1. They look fine together.
2. Your mom's and FMIL's dresses do NOT have to 'go together' -- Let them wear what they want, whether or not they coordinate.
I think they look perfect together! They are both gorgeous!

My mom & fmil are wearing the same color ... I don't buy into all those 'rules' about what everyone should or shouldn't wear (except that no one else should be in white!)

I think that they are fine together. You have to rememeber everyone has different tastes. I think go together. If it was orange and purple I'd worry Don't stress. It will be perfect. What color are your girls in?

Both dresses are beautiful and they compliment each other. I really don't think that you have anything to worry about.

I think they are fine together. Besides, they don't have to match--remember that everyone has different tastes and styles.
