My son, 23, and his fiancee, 23 are getting married in early September. I, 44 Fwas assigned " coral" as my color, and picked out a fancy Calvin Klein dress in coral. It’s called the Starburst dress and it’s a satin type material. She wanted me to try it on the other day and has now decided it’s not motherly enough and wants me to wear this ugly chiffon pantsuit. I told her I’m fine with what I got, and I’m not sure precisely what the issue is with my dress. I offered to wear a shawl if my shoulders showing is the issue, but she said no it’s too " sexy" period, and I need to look like a mother, and dress my age. I told her she is being ridiculous and I would rather just not go. Now she is all mad and my son is upset and trying to mediate. AITA?

ETA : pantsuit

    Nta I’d just not go. It’s kind of a club dress, but it’s still wedding appropriate. If your future DIL wants so badly to be the center of attention at all times, tell them to get a court wedding. No distractions there.
