My mom recently bought a dress to wear for our wedding in October, which is great, I was glad she found something... until I saw a picture of it.
It is a white taffeta long coat (which looks like a lab coat) and a long shift dress underneath. Completely plain, shiny, and looks cheap. It is awful and completely unflattering. I have tried reasoning with her, but nothing I say will do anything. She won't budge and I am at my wit's end. I also can't go shopping with her because I live and work about 2000 miles away. I have even considered the expense of flying to see her for a weekend just to try to get her to go shopping.
My fiancee's mother is the exact opposite, she has been amazing about what she is wearing and it looks great on her! I just want my mom to look as beautiful as she can, and this white thing is NOT doing anything.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can change her mind, short of flying there?
