Is this dress OK?

Is this dress OK for my partner's mum to wear to my wedding (mother of the groom)? I just see a long white dress:

When I got married the last thing that I thought about was how the photos would like. Mind you, I got marries decades before Instagram and the like.

@Marguerite2000

the photos should ideally only have one white spot, your dress Jesus, I think I've heard it all now. WTAF are you even on about?

Just my opinion in response to the question. No need to get over excited.

It's fine. Doesn't look anything like a brides dress. I really wouldn't mention it to her

Tbh your opinion and our opinion on the dress don’t count. It’s what your MIL likes and since it’s her wearing it only her opinion counts.

It's a lovely mother of the groom dress. Just right.

I wore black.

Even though it was black tie, they meant evening dress and and men in tuxedo's. I thought I was doing good wearing a black dress, it was a really lovely, very fancy dress, I felt amazing in it as I don't wear dresses and I got lots of compliments but unfortunately I didn't know at the time that black for women was frowned upon. When I wasn't invited to be in the photos I pulled my brother aside and asked and that's when he informed me that black was for a funeral. Tbh you wouldn't wear this to a funeral... Ever.... I felt so bad, the rest of the evening I spent sitting down. The dress went into the back of the wardrobe and has never come out.

It's fine. A really pretty dress. Especially if she accessorises with yellow.

My MIL wore her ACTUAL wedding dress to my wedding though.

I am grateful for your replies and have taken them on board. I have said to my partner let's just tell her we like the dress. However, he keeps looking at it and saying he doesn't think it's appropriate and he envisioned her in something more formal/classy. He wants to give her another week or two to see if she finds anything else.

HE thinks she needs something more 'classy'?????? Hmmmmmm. This thread is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. You clearly don't like her much, and her son sounds a right charmer.

I can confirm she has actually ordered something else as that one is not in stock anywhere.
