Ok so here are the two dresses that my mom is considering.

The first one is your traditional MOB dress... I consider it the 'safe choice'. She tried it on and it is flattering and nice. I think its an elegant dress. She would order this dress in the color bone. Im wearing ivory. Is bone too close to the color of my dress???

The 2nd dress is gorgeous. She would order it in the black and olive green. It is a wow dress. She tried it on and it looked great.

My mom is concerned because she is a plus size woman and she doesn't want to wear anything inappropriate. I think she looked great in both dresses....and deep down i think my mom really wants the 2nd dress because it a little more special but she is concerned that it might be a little much for a wedding at the George Washington Manor. So any opinions or feedback would be great!

Thanks Everyone.

#2 is gorgeous & elegant, not flashy! If she looked great in it she should definitely wear it. The Mother of the bride is supposed to be fancy, so tell her not too worry that it is too much for a Friday night at the George Washinton Manor. It's not like you are getting married in your backyard.

My MIL wore the 2nd dress at our wedding, the exact color & everything.. It's very pretty.

I like both, but I like #2 for a more evening affair.

As long as she's comfortable and it looks good- I think she should get the one that makes her happiest!

I also like the second dress better. If you do go with the first dress I would steer away from bone, its really just another shade of white. But if that doesn't bother either of you than its fine
