FDIL is dictating what dress I am to wear, AND she's putting his step-mom in a similar dress. Am I wrong for hating all of this?!?!?!
So my FDIL is turning into a bridezilla, already to this point she has dictated everything down to the letter... and now this! She has dictated the exact dress that I am to purchase. Well, she has given me the option of picking which style/cut but only gave me two options to chose from, neither option will accommodate my figure without serious alterations. The dresses are nearly $200, plus alterations and undergarments, I'm looking at $350 easy... and while I honestly don't have the funds for it, the bigger issue is that she has decided to dress my exhusbands wife in a very similar style dress. So very similar. Her dress will be brown and mine will be red, but they will have the same type of fabric, floor length, with different style shoulders.
So, AITA for not wanting to agree to this?? Not wanting to be dressed the same as his stepmother, not wanting to fork over the equivalent of a car payment just to attend?? I was looking forward to dress shopping with my mom, but I don't get to do that because I was told what to wear. Not only that, but was told if I don't wear this specific dress, I wouldn't be allowed to walk down the isle! I'm almost to the point I don't even want to go.
What do you all say??
