Mother-of-the-bride savaged after she wears a wedding dress to her daughter’s big day – and it even has a train
MOST wedding guests are aware of certain unwritten rules that come with the dresscode.
Overly provocative outfits should probably be avoided, as should fancy dress and anything too similar to the bridesmaids dresses.
But above all you should definitely not be wearing white.
However, it seems that one mother-of-the-bride missed the memo when she turned up in what appeared to be a wedding dress for her own daughter’s wedding.
Taking to Reddit, one user shared a screenshot of a seller listing where the mum had tried to sell on the dress she had worn.
In the listing she included a snap of herself stood next to her daughter – and it’s difficult to tell who’s getting married.
While the bride is wearing an obvious white wedding gown, her mum is dressed in a floor length dress that appears to be white too.
The dress features plenty of ornate silver embellishment as well as its very own train and it’s fair to say fellow users were pretty outraged.
Commenting on the post one wrote: “If the bride herself didn’t pick this out for this specific “colour” to coordinate nicely with her theme the mom needs a firm smack to get some common sense/decency/respect put into her!”
“It seems like the moms might have been more fancy,” agreed another, while a third wrote, “I can hear her now claiming ‘It’s not white! It’s lavender ash!’”
However, several users couldn’t see an issue with the ensemble.
Defending the mum, one wrote, “Based on the first photo, this is a very matronly dress. I think with a neckline like that and a lilac dress on an older woman it wouldn’t read as bridal.”
Meanwhile a second added, “She looks wonderful! Good for the mom!”
