My mom still has no idea what she wanna wear for my wedding dinner, so we went to shop at Vivocity yesterday. She tried out a few Daniel Yam's gowns, I found a couple that looked nice on her but she found them too revealing. She finds it insecure if there aren't any shoulder straps and she didn't like it that most gowns had a small train behind. She just wants it simple and fuss-free. No cheongsum, skirt length must be above-ankle, don't like too much beadings in the design, bla bla...
Frankly speaking, I was getting quite irritated with her and she kept worrying about this and that. Then I had to cool down by telling myself, that's her. My mom, a housewife, is a thrifty person as my dad was a low-income worker and had to support our family of three as the sole breadwinner. She's just a very simple lady with simple needs, not the type who wanna spend lots of money to look glamorous for a one-time event and then the gown would just be stashed away for ever after this one-time wear. To her, this is wasteful. In a way, I do agree with her practicality. I had relatives who were also grumbling at the fact that they spent hundreds of dollars on a tailor made gown for their children's wedding and only got to wear it that one time. Then it's just left there to take up space in the wardrobe.
So even though I would have liked her to wear a gown for my wedding but if she don't feel comfortable in it and ended up looking awkward, I'd rather have her wearing something that she likes. She's very conscious about her bulging stomach, so she might wanna go for nice top with pants or longer-than-knees length skirt. Something that she can wear out on normal days as well without looking over the top. :)
Wondering if anyone got any suggestions on where to get nice looking top and bottoms for moms...*crack head*
