    Hello,

    I will give you advice that will differ from the previous response...

    I run an online bridal store specializing in mother of the bride and groom dresses and almost all of my customers select the longer length or floor length dresses. The bride picks the color and the moms wear the colors that complement the main color or colors.

    There are very few tea-length (or 3/4 length) mother of the bride dresses on sale in the bridal shops. You will find that the trend is "long" these days and that most moms go for these as they are very flattering and glamourous. If moms want to go shorter, they will opt for a dressy suit.

    The bestsellers are the dresses with jackets. Moms have a option of leaving these on or off.

    The gown your mom needs to placed on sounds irrelevant, no longer through coloration it truly is nice. you quite can't stipulate that no man or woman except your bridesmaids placed on any blue coloration. yet, a short, body-hugging, spaghetti strap gown isn't proper for the celebration or her age. you should make your recommendations up no matter if it truly is a few thing that you're prepared to do conflict about or no longer. you've already stated you opt for to help her %. out her gown and she or he's refused, so that you're in reality left with dealing with the challenge head on. do you opt for to attempt this? perchance you should attend and word what your mom quite does purchase. per chance it truly is extremely no longer as undesirable as you concern. yet, no matter if it truly is, you could both only enable her placed on it, or call her on it. for my section, i'd only enable the entire ingredient slide, besides the undeniable fact that I thoroughly understand why you do not opt for to and why it upsets you. yet, the gown won't be able to reflect badly on YOU. She's the only whose going to appear as if a rattling fool donning it. you would possibly want to attempt telling her you'll opt for to purchase her a gown as a present. That way you'll have some administration over what she wears.

    3/4 length has always been appropriate for the mother.....the bride and bridesmaids should have the only full length gowns.
