Mama Milkshake No. 2 :  wedding dress mother vancouver 2599388041 DSC_0387

Yay! Mama Milkshake number two (Mr. Milkshake’s mom) bought two hot little numbers for herself. It’s so nice to see our mothers in dresses, so here’s her very own tribute in the few photos I was able to snap of her. This particular store in Vancouver’s Chinatown had tonnes of dresses that were in the $50-99 price range and alterations seemed to be complimentary! They have a good handful of these stores in Vancouver’s Chinatown, and I realized a little while ago that Seattle offers nothing of the sort. My friend rented a Cheong Sam from a local Seattle shop for her wedding because that was the only option.

My FMIL is already anxious about what dress to buy and the wedding is still 11 months away. I told her that even if she’s in jeans, as long as she feels fabulous, I don’t care what she wears. ;) But I’ll be happy to go with her to buy something if she wants the help!

I’m definitely going to offer, because FMIL MagPie is more tomboyish than girly — she may be intimidated by dress shopping.

I love her facial expressions in the first two pictures! Like, “oh I’m not sure about this” and then “this dress makes me feel great”! Very cool that you got to share this experience with your FMIL.

Sadly, I didn’t go shopping with my mom, who lives in Vancouver….but I did go shopping with my FMIL who lives a few blocks away from me. It was such a great bonding experience! :)

My FMIL was thinking that she might wear the same dress that she wore to FBIL’s wedding 10 years ago. *roll of the eyes* Needless to say FSIL tactfully saved the day when she mentioned that it may look odd in the pictures she will have of both weddings around the house. OH wait, I didn’t mention that at said wedding FMIL’s ex-MIL wore the same dress she did! (I know that’s a lot of “MIL”s, but WOW!)
