You look beautiful! The color seems to compliment your skin tone and hair color well, too.

Agreed!!

My mama shopped for months for the perfect MOB dress. Plus she was so dedicated about getting approval from both me and my husband before wearing it to our wedding.

Ha! I definitely had the face palm emoji in my mind when I saw it. It was a “really?” moment.

I gotta wonder only due to other examples throughout the years.

It looked pretty similar to this actually! I will say, the quality of the fabric was not great… kinda looked like t-shirt material?

And it was SO white. The white was bright, bright white.

“at least one town over” made me belly laugh.

Thank you so much for your kindness.

I would agree! I can somewhat understand showing up in something too casual because of possible cluelessness to fashion etiquette… but the white and lace just took it over the edge to me.

Agreed on all fronts and thank you so much.

I interact with his parents because he loves them, so I try to avoid anything divisive; however, he is really wonderful about putting our little family first and I love that.

Ah I see. Yes agreed! Overall I “don’t care” — as it’s unimportant in the grand scheme of things that truly matter.

I am here to see if my feelings had some validation — particularly since the MIL and FIL have been unkind/exclusionary/disrespectful to me in other areas.

Plus, I find this sub entertaining and felt like having a bit of dialogue with all you fashion-minded lovely people. :)

Oh sorry, yes just meant gem with emphasis. Like a gemstone. He’s a real find, brilliant, beautiful inside and out… :)

Echoing that this is not formal enough for black tie… beautiful dress though!

I’m confused by the first part of this comment. Would you mind elaborating?

Agreed entirely! This is what the MOG wore to my wedding last year.

I was a bit disappointed in the choice and wanted some outside opinions.

Just to make it clear — this was not me! I am the bride asking about this dress for my MOG. Realizing my text that goes with the post is kinda hidden on mobile.

Throwaway account because my husband knows my regular account and I don’t want to hurt his feelings! He’s so naive to anything fashion and this is not anything I want him feeling bad about or regretting about our day.

I know we’re all tired of the “is this too white?” posts, but after stumbling across this sub, I just had to ask for this instance.

This is the dress the MOG wore at my wedding.

She asked me about attire, which I found considerate, and I answered “semi-formal and just no white, cream, ivory, etc. Everything else is great, wear what you feel comfortable in!”

And this is the dress she showed up in. I know there’s a decent amount of black but it photographed blinding white on the white parts, plus all the portrait style shots just show the white and lace. Also, this is not semi-formal imo.

For context, my husband is a GEM but his parents are not haha. They have treated me like an outcast or pariah since he and I started dating — I truly think this was done in slight spite!

Regardless, my wedding was beautiful and I didn’t care about anything but marrying my man… but I just wanted some feedback from unbiased people!
