I love that neckline anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863527 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:11:20 +0000 Jane 1863527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pink floral one, I think it could look very pretty with the botanical gardens. At the recent wedding we went to in Indonesia, all the bride's first cousins and mother and grandmother wore the same blush pink top, with different skirts. It just looked so lovely and loving and charming, that it really stuck in my mind, as a super nice thing to do, to complement each others outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863512 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 19:19:51 +0000 Zibbets 1863512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are beautiful. The pink one looks much better suited to a hot, outdoor wedding, to my eye. It will also be gorgeous in photos with your daughter's dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863504 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 18:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 1863504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point about the hosiery. I think I'm going to go with the pink floral one, as long as none of you think it's not formal enough. I fear the sleeves of the purple dress might be too snug for a summer wedding, and that I would get too hot in it. I have to remember that the reception will be outdoors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863497 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 17:55:41 +0000 karen13 1863497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are lovely and appropriate. The lighter color pink is more summery to my eye. I really enjoyed wearing a long dress to the two summer weddings I attended for my nephew and cousin. I would have felt hosiery was necessary with a short dress - the long dress was much cooler, even outdoor in Hawaii in blazing sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863474 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 15:56:43 +0000 Angie 1863474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>BC</b>, it could be really fun to wear a long dress to DD's wedding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863459 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 14:12:01 +0000 lyn67 1863459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG she's beautiful, and think both of your dresses would be great depends on the wedding's colorway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863453 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 13:27:15 +0000 Janet 1863453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's necessary for the moms to wear the same length dress. For my stepson's wedding, I took my cues from the bridesmaids and the overall color scheme of the wedding. It's not necessary to match anything, just to not clash. I wouldn't fret having to coordinate too strongly with the mother of the groom.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863449 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 13:07:06 +0000 Anonymous 1863449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if both mothers have to wear the same length or not. We asked my DD, and she said she hasn't even thought of it, so there's her answer. </p> <p>I already have both of these dresses in my closet, and will be wearing the purple one on my cruise in December.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863418 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 07:24:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 1863418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Chiara here. Why do both mothers have to have the same length dress?<br /> But if you do, either of those will be beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863416 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 06:03:38 +0000 Anonymous 1863416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like both the Find dresses are sold out. I like the lace one best (second) for this occasion. Hang on to that short navy dress until you find something you love to replace it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863413 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 05:02:26 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1863413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that pink dress and I think it would look very chic with a light pink wrap and some metallic sandals/clutch.<br /> May I ask if it's usually required for both moms to wear the same length dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863412 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 04:39:03 +0000 greycat6 1863412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are lovely dresses. The fabrication of the purple one makes the it look more dressy to my eye. While the print dress is lovely it looks more casual. Solid colors sometimes photograph better than prints. </p> <p> Your daughter looks beautiful in her dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863355 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 21:32:07 +0000 Anonymous 1863355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not trying to match.

Since it's a summer wedding, I would go for the lighter one, probably with a shawl during the ceremony. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-drawing-board-3#post-1863344 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 20:56:10 +0000 Anonymous 1863344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DD’s future MIL asked me what I plan to wear to the wedding. I told her about my short navy dress, and she said she can’t wear a short dress due to leg problems. I told her not to worry; I can wear a long dress. The issue is that while my DD’s dress is long with a train, the bridesmaids will all be in short dresses. So which dress? It’s an evening wedding in July at the botanical gardens - indoors (huge greenhouse) for the ceremony and outdoors for the reception. I’m also posting pics of my DD in her dress. I’m thinking the pink floral one, even though she also wants to cover her arms. I can only go so far in the heat, lol. No sleeves in July for me. I don’t know what the bridesmaids’ dresses look like. Thoughts? </p>
