Dressing shopping

Samantha, on September 21, 2021 at 9:36 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Hi! So I'm in need of some help. A while ago I had mentioned to my fiance I wanted to bring his mom along to go dress shopping. He had mentioned something to her around that point that I was going to ask her. With this in mind i was just going to bring my mom, my sister/MOH, and FMIL, because of covid we are limited to three people. I went on a last minute whim this past weekend one day and may have found the dress I love. She wasnt there because my mom and sister decided to go because it was extremely last minute appointment made and I was just going to get a feel of the dresses and an idea of what I want to look for. The next store I go to will be with my grandma, mom and sister/MOH. After that I may go back to the original store to go searching and possibly buy that dress I wanted this past weekend. I feel like I want my grandma and mom at that one but maybe not my sister since she came this last weekend and I can ask my FMIL? I need some opinions because at first I was going to just have her at my alterations but im limited to only 1 person again cause of covid. I dont want to hurt her feelings since she is aware already about it and she has no daughters so I also did want her there to see the final dress before the wedding. Opinions and help please so I dont look like a horrible daughter in law!

Thanks!

    I'm assuming that your FMIL is excited by the idea of being included in the dress search. If so, I would ask your sister how she feels, framing it how you did here: you would like to include FMIL and we're hoping she wouldn't mind if you had FMIL accompany you to the next appointment instead of her, since she already went with you. Another option is to tell FMIL that you found what you believe is the dress, but wanted her to see if before making the final decision, and go another time with maybe just her?

    Depending how your FMIL feels about it, it could be a great opportunity to build your relationship with her. If she's indifferent, I would do what feels right to you!

    I agree, do what feels right to you! I think most people would understand and not feel slighted if you explain it’s because of COVID restrictions. If you wanted maybe you could video call whoever is not present in person to get their opinion too so they are also included.

    Since it was already mentioned to your FMIL I’d recommend bringing her to at least one appointment. Hopefully your sister or whoever you choose not to go along to that appointment will understand, especially if they were already at another appointment. Good luck!

    If you can't bring her to one of your appointments and you're not buying off of the rack, can you invite her to be there when you pick your dress up and try it on before alterations? That's what I'm having my FMIL do because I didn't want her at one of my original appointments.
