went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
shes yelling at me, telling me that its too cold out for that dress(its a strapless)...
says that its november and that its going to be cold so i better have an indoor studio for pictures...
that my sister wants a long sleeve matron of honor dress because its going to look cold but shes afraid cause bm dresses have no sleeves
upset because of the price $600... she wanted to spend like $350....
and i think upset cause i went with my bridesmaid instead of her, but i didnt buy... but i know its " THE DRESS"

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
Strapless is appropriate no matter what time of year!!!!!
Don't worry - she's probably just acting out b/c she's hurt you didn't take her....
Take her to see it and try it on for her....
You get the dress YOU LOVE and don't listen to ANYONE else!!!!
$600 for a wedding dress is a STEAL!!!!

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
Look - it's your wedding and you need to love your dress! A lot of people end up having strapless dresses, even in cold weather - I assume you're not having an outdoor reception!! I think you need to explain to your mom that you love the dress, it's your wedding, and that's that. The price is really cheap - relatively speaking to how much dresses can cost! If she is not happy with the price and she is paying - I would contribute the difference.

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
you have to do what's right for you! If you are fine with long sleeve MOH dress, then I am sure you will be able to find one, or get a wrap for her.
I don't know much about nov pictures outside, where you planning on that to begin with,,,might be cold no matter what dress??
Do you have a picture of it?
not everyone has the same style, my MOH did not like my dress

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
hmm....which dress is it? Maybe it will go on sale? If you're looking to save on tax, you could go to NJ, but I don't know if it's worth it for like $50. Maybe you could offer to pay half? Either way, I think it's a little unrealistic to find a dress for $300. $500 maybe, but I didn't see any for much less than that. Except at the filene's basement sale, but most of them were samples.

I AGREE!!!
If you love your dress get it!!! I understand she's your mom, but she should want you to have what you LOVE, key word, YOU LOVE
and also..
$600 for a gown, in NY that's awesome

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
my friend got married on 12/27/03 in RI and she had a strapless dress...the bridal party (me included  ) had halter style dresses.So do what you want to...it is your day not her day.
Secondly $600 is truly a steal

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
My mom hates my dress because:
1- I have to get it taken it (is she crazy? Of course I have to get it altered)
2- It's too big (it's a typical ball gown, what does she want from me?)
She is still looking at magazines picking out dresses I should have bought. Meanwhile, my dress is hanging in my room.
Mothers will never be pleased. So don't worry. If you know it's the ONE, then go for it!

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
I think you are probably right about her feeling left out. Ask her to go shopping with you again. Tell her you love this dress but need to look around more first before you make a decision! She may just be saying all of htis out of hurt!
In the end its your wedding. If she has a problem with the $ offer to pay the difference if she will pay for alterations!

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
OH Emily it's so pretty!
As far as the real world comment.. isn't your wedding supposed to be a dream come true?
You're getting married a few weeks after me. I don't think it's going to be THAT cold. Besides with nerves and the weight of the dress you should be fine. You could always suggest a really nice cape to go with it.
I agree with others.. it is your wedding.. but I also understand it's tough to find 'the one' and your mother disapprove.
Good Luck

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
First off, it's your wedding and you should get any dress that even makes you utter the words "THE DRESS." Second of all, strapless is more than appropriate at any time of year. And also, remind your mom that it was 70 degrees the first weekend of November this past year (2003).
I'm having an outdoor ceremony in October and it's hit or miss. It was a beautiful day when I went to see it October 9, 2003 and then the next weekend it was cold and rainy, you never can tell. So long as it's not raining, I'm getting married outside even if I have to freeze my butt off! lol!
At the end of the day it's your wedding and you should be happy. I'm sure if you calmly explain to your mom how much you love the dress than she will love it simply because you do. Also, take her to the store so she can see how beautiful it is and how beautiful you look in it. I'm sure it will work out for the best.

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
another option is to look on ebay. I've seen a lot of NWT dresses on there.
No offense, but I think it's your mom who isn't living in the real world. I think you should take her for a day of dress shopping, but start off somewhere that sells expensive dresses, like Bridal Reflections, or Kleinfeld, then end up at Davids. Not only will she love the dress on you, she'll love the price and realize it's a steal.

Re: went dress shopping found " THE DRESS" came home showed mom and she HATES it
Im sorry Emily!
I think it's a beautiful dress!
maybe you could go shopping separately with your mom to a different sotre, or even to david's and give her the chance to be a part of it. then if she sees you in the dress, maybe she'll fall in love with it too!
