For her MOG dress??? FMIL and I dont talk about the wedding AT ALL, but I was asking FH if he finalized some addresses for me and we got to talking about some small wedding details. So I asked FMIL, 'did you start looking for your dress' and her simple reply was 'no'....the wedding is in almost 4 months...shouldnt she have started looking? Am I being paranoid? My mom ordered her MOB dress in January!

Re: Should FMIL have started looking???...
Sorry she's being such a pain in the a....She should start looking and to make sure she doesn't get the same dress as your mother, describe the dress and color to her....She doesn't have a lot of time, but that should be her problem not yours....she's had plenty of time to go shopping for a dress...don't worry...I'm sure she'll find something...just focus on what you need to do for the wedding planning....

My MIL waited till 2 weeks before the wedding to look for her dress, I was FREAKING out.
She got her dress, so I asked to come over and see it, and she said 'you will see it when you see it'.
Well, the day of the wedding she barges into my bridal suite......
WEARING THE SAME DRESS AS MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shall I post a pic??????
That is totally insane. Same color???
My mom is Orange, MIL is green!!!!!!!!
OMG....I'm sooo sorry. Your mom looks hot though
OMG!!!!! This actually happened at my parents wedding. Both of their moms showed up in the same dress. Of course, there were a lot less choices back then!!!

Crazy about the MIL wearing same dress as your mother!!! OMG!!!
My wedding is in Nov and my mother and FMIL both have not started looking and from the sounds of it neither plan to anytime soon...they both told me end of summer b/c fall dresses aren't even out yet. I'm not stressing at all.....I've got my dress and so do my BM's - I trust that the moms will get something in time. I wouldn't worry.

My FMIL started looking about a month ago, but she got upset because she thought she would have lost more weight by now. She said she left the dress salon and went straight to Weight Watchers....

My FMIL ordered her dress in mid April for my July wedding. They said it should be in in the beginning of July. I would give it another month and then maybe have FH speak to her.

Re: Should FMIL have started looking???...
absolutely! my FMIL made the mistake of listening to the owner of ONE dress shop who said wait till april for his NEW line to come in so the first week of april we go and its been delayed, mean while the wedding was in less them 3 months and she had nothing!! So we went everywhere, couldnt find a nice dress that was reasonably priced, finally found a really expensive dress, that she couldnt even try on casue it wasnt in her size , but she ordered it anyway b/c we werent finding anything and we had to pay extra for rush order and b/c shes plus sized!! DRAMA!! Luckily it just came in today and thank god it fits and looks great on her, but if she had started looking early she would have had more time and maybe found something equally as nice and not as expensive

You shouldn't be in panic mode yet.....but you know how it goes when planning big events like this...the earlier things get done, the better...to leave some cushion time if things don't go as planned

Re: Should FMIL have started looking???...
I had the same problem!!! I was convinced (and still am) that my FMIL believed that the wedding really wasn't going to happen. I'm getting married in 6 weeeks and she JUST got a dress! She blames it on her 'consultant' from Jenny Craig who told her not to. That's bull..b/c we have been engaged long before this J. Craig business!
I told her flat out, I'm going to the florist and right now your getting white carnations with a white bow. I can't match something if you don't have it. And she went out and bought a dress at Macy's. I was surprised she did that b/c my mom ordered from a reguar bridal store. But all that means is, her inattentiveness to detaisl for my wedding with certainly be reflected in her wardrobe.
