Glad you found a good solution! Those dresses are great.
Both great dresses! You inspired me to look for something special for rehearsal dinner (11/10) rather than just picking out something from my closet. I chose this:

Very nice!
Thatās a classy and striking dress!
Am I the only one who gets excited to see there are new posts in this thread?? All the joys of shopping with girlfriends-- from the comfort of home!

Well, S and fiancee are switching from rehearsal dinner to rehearsal lunch, since the rehearsal is 10-11am. It makes sense but am glad we werenāt planning to make a big deal. Things seem quite fluid. Haha! We are remaining flexible.

I enjoy this thread and have fun browsing dresses online. The likelihood of ever becoming MOG grows less with each year. At least I got to be Aunt of Groom this year! (And wore an old dress from the closet.)

So glad you found something! Itās nice to have something new for such a special event.
Hereās the perfect example of what not to wear and how to act at a wedding. 
Gosh thatās gutsy for that family to put the real photo (with faces) and comment online.
I think itās odd for a guest to insist on wearing white and be in photo on other side of groom. Iām sure thereās a lot more going on with this guest and wedding.
At Sās wedding, no one else wore solid white or similar other than the bride, so itās wasnāt an issue for her. Iāve never been to a wedding where a guest wore an outfit bride objected to but insisted on being on other side of groom in photosājust very very odd.

At my nieceās recent wedding, her maternal grandmother wore a dress that was very light. In the light of the venue, it certainly looked white.
Maybe it was very light pink or maybe ivory. Iām not sure.
No one made any comments and she certainly wasnāt trying to upstage the bride. Since sheās in her 80ās, I suspect it was an issue of finding a dress.
I know my mil struggled. In the end, she wore the same dress she wore to my sonās wedding 6 years ago. I suspect Iām the only one who noticed. It was black, also a no no. But finding a dress is difficult for someone who has limited shopping options and finds shopping on line very difficult.
I brought my MOB dress to be hemmed yesterday. Pick it up on Saturday!

I think I might have found my MOG dress. Got it at Dillardās for $288 (which I think was a great price to begin with). Von Maur has it as a final sale for $68! I ordered it to keep and if I find something better, then do be it. Iāll sell it or just keep it, will decide later. I wanted to cover my arms a bit. Itās lightweight with just a touch of bling.
