This is the original post with more details to add to my question of Aug. 21st...
My stepdaughter's wedding is in early Sept. outside (tent) in MO. Her father and I live in Las Vegas NV...(east vs. so.wst styles). Since our relationship, is shaky (we seldom see each other), it's important that I'm dressed appropriately.
I've been waiting for a while now for the final details of color, dress length,etc. from the bride, but information is slow and not very clear.
The mog is wearing (last I heard), pale green dress, shorten from floor length to mid-calf..no style mentioned. (suit, dress?) and colors of bridesmaids is said to be pink and burgundy.
What is appropriate dress for me? The mother of the bride passed away 2 years ago and I am stepmom #5. I would rather stay home but I'm told that I must attend...help!

Dear Stepmother,
Stepmothers are typically very quiet and in the background unless they are considered 'one of the mothers'. From what you have said, this is not the case.
It is difficult to know exactly what would be appropriate in this case because you do not know the formality of the event. I suggest wearing something you would wear to any wedding as a guest--something that you would wear to a very nice restaurant.
