Husband dislikes my mother of the bride dress choices, am I wrong?

[Biggles27]

Husband hates the dresses I loved - mob btw! He says the colour is wrong, the shape doesn’t suit. I felt fantastic in them ☹️. Ditching dh isn’t an option. Are they awful or is he being unreasonable?

9st down ! Congratulations, that is amazing. 🌼

I don't know if this is of any help but I wore a Whistles dress, printed fabric , blue. It fitted apart from a bit of a gape at the front. I wore a white lace cami, chunky sandals. Nice hair from usual hairdresser.
I think I looked Ok and not not like a completely different person!

Team DH. Awful colours. You have a lovely figure get a dress that fits properly.

Gosh, thank you, I’ll bear that in mind. I accept there will be a cost for alterations but I don’t want to be spending a fortune either!!

What about this sort of shape?

A friend wore this for her daughters wedding and looked stunning

Yes I’m sure there is something better suited to you than the ones you posted and well done on the weight loss.

That's the nicest dress on this thread by many miles.

Are you looking for a "Mother of the Groom /Bride" dress or a beautiful dress? The Liberty suggestion is beautiful and in my eyes is worth spending money on. You'll get lots of wear out of it. The other suggestions are generic (and not nice or interesting) "MOB/G"

Just spoken to dd. Told her about this thread and she said Thank God, I was trying to work out how to tell you without sounding mean.

you have all done me a massive massive favour and saved me from making a horrible expensive mistake

I am truely grateful for each and every comment xx

These days - just because you are the mother of the bride doesn't mean you have to go for that 'usual' look - it's a bit stuffy in my eyes.

I so agree with this. Same with the old shift dress and bolero jacket.

I would avoid anything MOB like the plague.

@Biggles27

OP, how do you feel about midi length rather than maxi?

I think that midi length is more suitable, especially for a wedding in Central London.

I wore black and silver once, the happy couple split up within 6 months.😐
Don't like the 2nd choice at all, it just awful.
Wear what makes YOU feel good OP, doesn't matter that it's a dark colour or what h or randoms on MN think. If you feeb fab then that's good enough.
By the way why you you say you won't leve your h? Is that supposed to be some sort of joke?🤔

First one is nice at the back but not the rest of it, second one, I don’t like at all. Too dark and I’d lose the hat and gloves :-)
