| So we just found out recently that my soon to be mother in law was planning on wearing a WHITE dress to the wedding, which is sheer/see through. She generally craves atention so I was thinking she was saying it just to get a reaction. However, she called my fiance this weekend to see if I had found her an appropite dress. Therefore, it had now fallen upon me to find something APPROPIATE for her to wear. Can anyone help me find sites with mother-in-law attire, or rules of mother in law ettiquette, like not wearing white, or see through, or etc. I know it's a SUPER silly thing to be worried about clothing, but my fiance just doesn't want to feel embarrassed about what she is wearing in the pictures and in front of the family, etc! Thank you very much!I do know age wise she is a grown woman, however maturity wise is a different story! Thank you for all the help so far. |

| she's an adult, tell her what color and have her go pick something out......what she wears is not a reflection on the two of you; if you can't trust her, go shopping with her, have lunch....... |

| Just tell her some colors to wear like pink and blue. Take her shopping. I'm sure she would enjoy it! |

| Maybe this was her way of trying to get some attention from her daughter-in-law to be.Find out what color and type of dress YOUR mother is wearing. Then choose a complimentary color for the mom of the groom.Find a day and go shopping with her, have lunch. Start out with an attitude of having fun on the shopping outing as opposed to it being a chore. You didn't share the style or formality of your wedding so I can't give you specific answers or recommendations.The mom of the groom dress should match the formality of the mom of the bride dress. Therefore it should be the same length. |

| Her son is a grown man. He should tell his mother that it's not appropriate to wear white to a wedding if you're not the bride. Any idiot knows it's inappropriate so she can't pretend that she doesn't know. She shouldn't be so rude on your special day. If she can't respect you two as a couple I wouldn't invite her at all.Go pick her out a dress if you like, but don't give in to her and make it white. Make it a different color. If she complains then tough luck for her, she should care more about her son's happiness with you than being the center of attention. |

| Pretty much any outfit is appropriate as long as it is not revealing and not see through. (is is true to any formal event)Any colour works too except the colour of the wedding dress or bridesmaids dresses.a lot of mother of the bride/groom dresses are ugly and really age a person. |

| Let a grown woman pick her own dress--give her a few color ideas that match up with your wedding color scheme. If she insists on wearing white, then perhaps she wants to take on some of the bride's duties--such as writing and addressing all the thank-you notes. |

If she is conservative(doesn't sound like it!) then pick a more matronly style. You can have her look beautiful and even a little sexy but with taste.best wishes............... |

| if she wants to wear see through, I guess she will be the one that looks bad. I would not want her wearing white though. They say a bride should be the only one in white. |

| Either she's planning her own attire, or she expects YOU to pick something.Sounds like you're lucky that she wants YOU to choose.So, choose something appropriate: dressy, nice, that she'd look good in.If she rejects it, plead misunderstanding, suggest she find something for herself, and deal.It's no reflection on YOU if she makes a fool of herself at your wedding. |

| Everyone knows that the bride only wears white at a wedding. I can't believe your mother in law is that stupid. Apparently she wants attention and if I was you I would take her to some bridal shops to find a mother of the groom dress. |
