A WOMAN has been warned people will think she's a bad mother-in-law after sharing her outfit for her son's wedding.
Preparing for her son's nuptials, she had pretty much decided on an ensemble for the big day.
But she was unsure if the purple fit and flare dress was "too light" for the occasion.
"Is this too light for mother of the groom?" she asked in the Wedding Attire thread on Reddit.
The sleeveless dress featured a boat neckline, as well as a belt to cinch in the waist and a midi length, and was in a shade described on the website as "dried blossom".

The dress, from Lafayette 148, isn't cheap either, and comes in at a staggering £590 - reduced from £985.
"Feminine and understated, this bateau neck midi dress is beautifully tailored from naturally light and airy, pure linen," they write of the dress on the Lafayette 148 website.
"The cap sleeve design is defined by architectural darting, a contouring cut and waist-defining sash, lending an impeccable fit to the flared silhouette."
And people in the comments section were quick to try and dissuade the woman from wearing the outfit.
"Too light," one insisted.
"You’re going to be in a lot of photos and it’s going to look white.
"And people are going to roll their eyes about what a bad mother-in-law you must be."
"I do think it’s awfully light," another agreed.
As a third said: "To be fair, whenever folks ask is this too white, I basically always say yes.

"Because if it was white enough for you to think you needed to ask, then just don’t.
"However, this is honestly, objectively, inarguably too white.
"Especially for mother of the groom... they’ll think you are trying to steal some of her thunder."
"It's too light and will photograph white. Not even an option!" someone else said.
"Please ask the bride," another urged.
"Personally I feel it's too light."
"Honestly, I’d consider just checking with the bride," someone else agreed.
"My personal opinion, I think it’s too light for a mother of the groom dress."
"Yes, for sure it's too light," another said.
