Mother of the groom- can I wear this???

[Kenworthington]

Before you all say don’t be ridiculous, you’ll look like the bride- there is no bride- it’s a gay wedding. I love this. lOVE it. Could get the floral one but of COURSE I want the cream one. Can I???????

Do ask your son, perhaps check with his husband to be's mother too. O think from what you say about yourself you should say "Fuck Off" to classic understated elegance. There as so many lovely dresses ;on the needle and Thread site i'm sure you will find one you like. My son isn't gay, and he has worked in fashion. I know he would like that dress.

I think it's gorgeous.

I don't think you can do the cream - the floral would be fantastic. I love the pink too but it's sold out.

I'm bridesmaid and this is my dress. Ha, in a world where you can be anything. Be fabulous.

Try folkster.com
It's an Irish website.
They do lovely dresses.
Well worth a look.
Sorry I can't do links

Perhaps someone could do a link for me please to folkster.com ?

I love the floral and red dresses but I do think they scream ' Look at me , there may not be a bride , but I am going to do my best to steal the show' . I am definitely not in favour of the more traditional Mother of the groom look and I am 59 but I think it would not be the best choice . I also think it would not be flattering on anyone who wasn't tall and very slim . That feathery look will add pounds and drag a persons height down

It's fantastic. I love it. Ask them see what they say and if it's a yes then have the best time 😍

I don't think they are the type of dresses OP likes as per the info she gave. They are typical occasion dresses. Very Amy Huberman, nice but correct me if I'm wrong OP, not her style.

A lot of the dresses people keep showing are the typical occasion dresses that everyone wears at weddings. What's wrong with being different? At least if you don't like what OP has chosen you could stick to what her style is. Everyone doesnt all have to look the same at a wedding.

Thank you for doing the link.
I think the page you opened in Folkster is in the Bridal/ Bridesmaids section.
They do other types of dresses on the website.
I saw the Folkster Madeleine dress on a tv programme - make over show- The Style Counsellors on RTE tv.
The dress was beautiful on screen - much nicer than on the website- the embroidery is 3D. Absolutely stunning.
It's a beauty bright happy dress.
I know @Kenworthington doesn't want the typical MOG style.

[quote Kenworthington]@SophieSellerman I’m open to friendship offers. 😊[/quote]
We could make it a double wedding. I like a good flamboyant dress, too.

@DiscoBadgers

How about this?

That dress is lovely but sadly they don't have that one in OP's (and my) size. Lots of others on that website though, I've got my eye on a black floral embroidered one

OP this thread has made me think of (and search Google images for!) all the amazing dresses worn at some Italian weddings, where guest just go all out. It’s fabulous, and I think not about upstaging anyone but more about showing respect for the special occasion that it is.

Only you will know what’s appropriate for your son’s wedding/venue/time of year etc but in theory there is nothing wrong with going OTT and finding something you love is priceless, usually wedding threads are about not being able to find anything to wear!

Well. I’ve ordered and paid for it. With actual real money. I have sent a picture of it to the other mother of the other groom, warming her of my EXTRA-ness. She thought/said it was fabulous. I don’t know whether she jay have been being polite. Perhaps. But I LOVE IT. Big up the other outrageous frock lovers.

Who knew a bloody frock could divide opinion so much?! Thanks for all the lovely pms too

Late to this thread! Happy you ordered it, think it’s fab, wear whatever you like!!

Hope you all have a tremendous day.

I think you should ask your son

I think it is lovely, but it isn’t normal to wear a full length dress to a wedding (unless you are a bride or bridesmaid).

OP has asked her so, he loves it. Why don't people filter an OP's posts at least.

Normal is overrated anyways @Aprilx

I saw them all and the below is still a typical dress you see at weddings.

It sure is.

I love it and think it’s fine for a wedding as MOTB at a gay wedding. Check with the grooms and if there’s even a HINT of uncertainty in their response then don’t wear it.

@Kenworthington

Anyways it’s away past my bedtime and I need to be up for work in the morning so I can earn enough money to buy ludicrous loo-roll-cover dresses to satisfy my insane longing to marry my own child. Nighty night

You are fucking excellent, OP! Brava!

I know I’m late to the party but I LOVE IT!

Crack on OP, you will look fabulous. At least you’re not wearing Moiras pope get up that she wore to officiate Davids wedding in Schitts Creek!

Have fun marrying your son 😂

It's bloody gorgeous! Just not suitable for your son's wedding.
I'd love to buy it, and flounce around the house in it, feeling fabulous!

No way!!! It'll look like you want to be some sort of pseudo-bride, totally weird!!
