Problems with mother

Mom drives me up a wall on the daily...

What's the protocol on having her with me when im getting ready on the day of my wedding? Doesnt matter if its a holiday, prom, funeral or wedding she finds a way to insult and make me crazy.

As soon as she saw my wedding dress she rolled her eyes.

trying not to deal with that

Could someone possibly talk to her, if not you and tell her how you feel when she does these things? Otherwise I would ask MOH if she is willing to help you get ready before the wedding and let your mom know that you have things covered.

I know when I was going to my prom my now FMIL came into the room, saw me in my dress and made some comments that I didn't really care to hear from her and they hurt. But when my now FI saw me in my prom dress I completely forgot about what she had to say because his facial expression was priceless and I knew nothing she said was important.

She knows I cant stand her. Thinking about telling her she can come in while im getting laced up into my corset gown. so ill already be in it and ready to go it would just have to be laced and im out the door

and im not being rude either. if you knew this woman you would understand

Maybe see if there's someone who can drag her away while you're getting ready? "Oh Marie, I think there's something wrong with the programs, can you come help us out?  This is an emergency!"

I've been married twice. Neither time was my mother present while I dressed. And it wasn't because she drove me nuts or anything, it just wasn't even something that was considered. I don't recall her being in the room when we were dressing for my two sisters' weddings, either. 

Given the history of her insensitivity and lack of tact, I think it's fine to just tell her you have it covered and you and your BMs get dressed in the bridal suite.
