AIBU to get a back up as I don’t like flower girl dress?

My daughter is a flower girl at her aunties wedding in August. Her auntie ordered her a dress and got it sent straight to our house. I really really do not like it at all. It’s very thick long sleeve almost down to the ankles, my daughter can’t walk yet and due to it being so long she can’t crawl in it so is getting very frustrated by it. AIBU to buy something else and change her into it after the ceremony is over?

I agree, talk to her. Tell her it's a beautiful dress and you're happy to put it on for photos but your daughter keeps crying and pulling at it because she can't crawl in it

Have you told the bride it’s unsuitable? Too thick, long and uncomfortable, sorry, she can’t wear that. Offer to help choose something more suitable.
Apart from that, what on earth is the point of a non-walking infant being a flower girl; ridiculous!

I have told my MIL but not the bride I don’t want to upset her as she loves it.. my daughter is actually a toddler just a very very late walker

TALK to her!

I don’t know how to reply directly lol never used this before. Just because the dress was very expensive and I’m under the impression my SIL thinks she will be wearing it all day

Why would that be an issue?

Change after photos? No problem
