My daughter's wedding is going to be very beautiful with the bridesmaides wearing red and the Fathers wearing tuxes. My daughter has suggested that the MOG and I wear green. I don't have much money and my mother had a green suit dress she had bought from the thrift store, which she said I could wear. When I tried it on I thought it was awful but my mother said she would alter it to look good on me. I thought the alteration might help but when I tried it on again I thought it looked worse than ever. I don't want to offend my mother but my daughter herself thinks the dresss makes me look "frumpy". I suggested to my daughter that I wear a black evening dress, because I love the way I look in black and I think black goes with everything. The MOG wants to wear green and I'm fine with that. Would it be innappropriate for me to wear a black evening dress and how can I do this without offending my mom, who has put time into altering this other dress?
Actually, I love the idea of black so much better than the green. I was thinking that it may look too much like a Christmas card.
With moms, honesty with a lot of hugs, smiles, and thank yous go a long way. Perhaps you could prepare a tea at home for her to thank her for all of her hard work. We moms love 'time' with our daughters.
