I need advice!!

My grandma has purchased a dress to wear for my wedding that is not formal enough OR the right color.

The colors of my wedding are navy and yellow and my mom advised my sweet grandma to not purchase a dress that was white or navy (the bridesmaids are wearing this color). OF COURSE, she purchased a dress that is white with a huge navy pattern all over it. It's made it of cotton, is short, and she bought it for $8.00. The price is enough of a red flag that it's not formal enough!

I am struggling because she is overwhelmingly happy with the dress and feels beautiful in it. My mom and I do not want her to be embarrassed the day of the wedding though when she looks around and realizes it's not the appropriate color combination AND the guests are in more formal dresses than and is.

How do I fix this problem in a loving way?

    Buy her a wedding dress if u don't like what she bought... Seriously, who cares what she wears... That's nuts. My sister in law will wear jeans to a swanky Boston country club. She asked if she could... I said "wear whatever you want." I'm happy she's attending; she lives in Mexico.
