It’s your day, if you’re not comfortable you should say something. You’re going to be family, who wants to start the first day as a family on a sour note? Whether you should be upset or not is not for other people to judge. You are upset, so you should talk to her.

I would look at customer reviews or google the dress model number. Maybe that photo makes the color look a bit white because of the lighting, background, etc. Some reviews have photos with them and the color might look totally different. I personally see a light blue/silvery color. I think for the MIL it's a nice dress. They only reason I would be upset if she wore it to my wedding is if I was wearing a mermaid style dress too. The cut is similar to a bridal dress, but if you're wearing a ballgown you won't look anything like her.

Same! I see a pretty light silvery blue and there's no train. I'd be ok with it.

I see no issues with this?
It doesn’t look white to me - looks light blue, and it doesn’t really say “bridal” to me....

If you’re that uncomfortable, then say something - but to me that’s a silly thing to make a big deal over. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It looks more blue to me than anything but in can see what you mean. Maybe try sending her some alternative options to choose from or give her a better idea of what you had in mind for her?

I know this thread is a little old, but I tried on this dress at Macy’s for a work event, in person it is a little more light gray looking with like a blue hint, I just felt like the chest was a little revealing, at least for me 😂 I would almost say in person it was like a periwinkle mixed with gray mixed with white, hard to describe. On the other hand my FH referred to it as the white dress I tried on so maybe it was more white then I remembered 😬

This was when I tried it on, granted I needed a bigger size. It was on clearance for like 18 dollars so I was trying to squeeze 😂

View Quoted Comment Wow! You look stunning in that dress and it makes me want to get it for myself 😂! But if FMIL or any other guest wore that to the wedding I'd be pissed as the bride! Especially if FMIL had your boobs then I would feel like she was trying to grab the attention when the day is about the bride and groom. She already didn't want to wear the same colors

Completely with you on this one - that's too bride-like. Can you give her other suggestions that maybe are similar, but not quite that close? Obviously you don't want to cause a huge problem, but the fact that she ran it past you at all suggests that she may be flexible to finding a compromise. Good luck!
