Grandma's dress

PerfectlyPolin, on June 25, 2017 at 8:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 68

My grandmother purchased this dress for our September wedding. She asked my opinion and I said I thought it looked beautiful! She is worried that people will think she looks "old and frumpy." What do you guys think?

    She looks gorgeous, and she could always jazz it up with some cool accessories if she wants.

    I think that is a very unflattering dress... But she looks very happy in it and that's all that matters.

    Geez....that is not an unflattering dress for a senior citizen, Chivy. What's your suggestion? How should grandma look better -- perhaps a bra that will push her breasts up to her neck? A pair of Spanx? A corset?

    OP, sorry about that...Grandma isn't honored, hugged, kissed, or complimented at the wedding because she wore a dress that makes her look like a 45 year old woman. Those expressions of love and honor are based on so much more than that. It's because of who she is, what she's meant to you, and everyone else in her family orbit.

    Grandma can't lose -- she wins because she's grandma (and that's not because she's the softie who makes cookies -- it's because she's a real woman with a history of endurance that exceeds more than most people -- including her family -- really know, and there she stands, smiling, winning -- in a blue lace gown).

    However, having said all that, I think she made a beautiful choice (I love blue, and I love lace). Treat her to pro hair and make-up (if she'll have it, lol), or buy her a glittering necklace or earrings to make her feel really special (and don't forget a corsage -- ladies of her generation love them). She's going to look fantastic.

    Grandmas rock, and I think of both of mine -- and miss them -- almost every day.

    I love that dress! If she's feeling a little self conscious, maybe a better bra would help? I love her choice though!
