Previous postThis is the dress for contextFMIL thought she found "the dress" (linked above) and it looked really white to me. She asked me what I thought and I told her it looked a bit white but didn't give a committed answer. Then she texted our group (FMIL, FSIL, FH and myself) asking for final approval before she bought it yesterday morning.I woke up and texted her separately saying that I thought she looked lovely in the dress but that it was champagne, which is really close to white AND my dress is champagne colored (which she knows bc she's seen it). I told FMIL that here in the south it's a huge etiquette thing to not wear anything close to white on the day. I said if it really is closer to gold/beige than it looks in the pictures she sent that that's fine, but it would look like she's wearing white in all the pictures anyway. She said it really wouldn't (?) because it's so beige looking (???).I also told her that people might think that she was making a statement that she didn't like/approve of me, and that if she's sure it looks darker in person or if she's OK with people thinking she's making a statement about me, then go ahead and wear it. I said I didn't care what she wore as long as she turned up and that I was just making sure she was aware of the etiquette down here.She said it hurt her feelings that I thought she'd be OK with people thinking she didn't like me, but she still seems set on wearing the dress anyway.So now I'm at the point where I've told her what the possible repercussions are, I've told her how I felt, she's told me how she feels, and I really don't feel like wasting anymore energy on the whole thing. I've said to keep an eye out for other dresses and she said that she would but that she's already gone ahead and bought that one so... I guess that's that? FH wants to talk to her on FaceTime but I feel like it might be rather pointless.I've gotten along so well with my FMIL and FSIL most of the time but I think they're both pissed at me now (still not sure why FSIL is upset lol).
