Weddings often come with several unspoken fashion restrictions and rules that guests and attendees, including the family and loved ones of the bride and groom, strive to follow. These unspoken rules often concern ideal wedding outfits.
One mom on TikTok, known as Stacey D, sparked several comments from online users after she revealed the gowns she considered wearing to her daughter's wedding. She asked her over 12,000 followers for advice on which dress to wear for the special day.

After getting feedback from online users, the mom chose the dress she would wear, pictured at the end. Before choosing the perfect dress, Stacey began by captioning the video she shared, "My daughter's getting married soon! π± Trying to find a dress I can dance in!."
The mom, whose tag is @staceydsellshomes, then had viewers leave numerous critical comments after she showed off the first of the four gowns she was thinking of wearing to her daughter's wedding.
The first outfit Stacey tried on was off-white and almost pinkish. It was short-sleeved, floor-length, and had gorgeous lace detail. This dress didn't sit well with viewers online. One person said at her wedding, "My mother told me she was going to wear a white dress, and I told her not to bother to come."

The mom's second gown was no better than the first, as it was also maxi, had lace on the straps, and was short-sleeved. The dress was white, too, with a plunging neckline. A viewer commented on it, "No no no β you look like the bride." "Is this a joke? Most of those are wedding dresses π," another user said about the dresses the mom showcased.

Stacey went on to show her third gown, which mimicked the bridal style of the first two as it was off-white with lace details on the short-sleeved shoulder and waist. The dress was also floor-length but with a slightly lower neckline.

It is only the fourth gown that many viewers seemed to love as their comments had them collectively breathing a sigh of relief. This gown was different from the others as it was nowhere near white. Stacey's figure popped on screen, adorned in a dusty pink midi dress, sparkling with sequins and featuring a plunging neckline.

Unsurprisingly, the pink dress garnered the most support from viewers, with many criticizing the mother's notion of wearing a white dress to her daughter's wedding. "Momma, don't you dare wear a white dress ππ The pink sparkly one is everything!!," admitted a user.

Stacey's third dress was shimmering gold with short sleeves. It was free-flowing and didn't showcase her figure. The fourth gown was almost similar to the third, but it was glittering purple and with one shoulder. It was also not figure-hugging.

The fifth dress was unique from the rest as it had a leg-high slit with a unique pattern on the front. The beige dress also showcased the mom's figure and was short-sleeved.
