Future MIL dress for our wedding...

Getting married this year and MIL to be has been stressing about her dress for a while as she hadn't found one she likes..

During convos with her, I have mentioned that I don't mind what she wears as long as it isn't white! (This has been in conversation a few times)

She has now bought a dress (pic attached)

When I first saw it after she bought it I was thinking omg it's too white and I still think so now- my dress is off white and in pictures her white would really stand out!

Would I be unreasonable to ask her to change her dress as I am uncomfortable or do I leave it and ask the photographer to not place us directly next to each other?!

No lovey, calm down! It's a dress that would look best on someone like the woman modelling it!

Define "look best"

Get your photographer to change the colour in the photos so the white has a slight tint of another colour of your choice. I'd MIL complains remind her you did ask for no white.

@JudgeJ oh come on. Most dresses look better on the model. That's why they choose the model. Doesn't mean it won't look lovely on someone curvier. That dress could look stunning on someone curvaceous as long as their proportions work with it. The shoulder band would balance out hips.

Honestly? I think it's lovely, and a perfect mothers outfit.

iys not white, either, the description says ivory so it'll all look lovely:

don't worry
