Ok, my sister's wedding is on february 10th and I STILL don't have a dress! I'm fifteen. And we were sitting there...and I asked my mom if it would be weird if I wore like something just really dressy instead of a dress. And my mom told me to ask my sister cause it's her wedding. So then I asked her when we were just there. And I guess she didn't know if I was joking around or being serious and she looked at me and kinda frowned and while she kept on putting her make up she was like 'Do whatever you want'. Is she mad? Was that mean to say? I would love to wear a dress but what if I don't find one by then?? Would it be okay if I just took dressy pants and formal shirt?

As long as you aren't actually in the wedding then wearing dress pants and a nice blouse is acceptable.

I think that you should wear what YOU are comfortable in! I know your sis might have an image in her mind that has you wearing something else but you do you. If she wanted to control your attire then she should have made you part of the wedding. I think if you want a dressy dress you can find one before the wedding, but if you WANT to wear dress pants and a nice shirt I think you can!
Good luck, dont worry too much about it okay ;)
Besides, the marriage only has a 50% chance of making it anyway!

Is this attire you're wearing to attend the wedding or for being in the wedding?
At one time no one would have EVER thought of wearing pants to a wedding, but times have changed. And if they are indeed dressy, I don't see why the scowl.
Keep looking for a dress though; but it's good you have something to fall back on just in case you don't find one. And if your sis wants you to be sooooo dressed up, maybe SHE should take you shopping.

This day is your sisters day..she is glad she has the support of your family and you as her younger sister. .maybe find a dress that you love that you think she would also like. A wedding happens once in a lifetime . Ask your sister for her opinion, and show her some of the things you have picked out and let her help you decide. Remember..weddings are stressful, if she seems a little out of sorts..chalk it up to all of the things she may have on her mind. Have a good time and enjoy this special day with her..it will make you even closer after she leaves.

Unless you're in the wedding I don't see a problem with wearing pants, as long as you're dressed nice. I personally didn't wear dresses or skirts until I was like 20 just because I never felt good in them. Plus, depending on where you are, in Feb the weather may be very cold. I normally wear nice pant suits & such to winter weddings.

you need to get a dress, this is her day and she wants everyone to come formal and dress up for her. asking her if you could wear something else made her upset and yes i am sure she is mad at you by the sound of it. I would look into getting something soon and i would advise you to get a dress not dress pants. For your sisters sake and yours, others will probably be thinking things if you came in pants, you would stand out for sure. Plus its your sister thats getting married, dress up a bit more and show her that you are happy for her and this is a big day.

Well, it sounds like she really doesn't care what you wear, which is surprizing, but whatever. It's her wedding. People get weird over weddings, I'm sure you've seen that, but know that they do get back to normal after all the hoopla is over with. I'd have another talk with your mom, tell her your concern about not wearing the wrong thing to your sister's wedding, and that your sister really hasn't given you much direction on what to wear.
If it's any comfort to you, I'm 40, my brother's getting married March 3, and no one has told me or my family what we're supposed to wear either. And it's me, my husband, 17 year old daughter and 13 year old son.

It has to be your sister's decision. Let her know that you don't understand what she meant. Ask her again what she would like to see you wear. It's possible that dress pants would be okay. But make sure first. You can use your mom to make sure you are making the right decision. She can help you out a lot in this situation.

Your sister probably thinks u have alot of growin up to do. but if you're not a bridesmaid or part of the ceremony i guess u can where what u want.
p.s. if money isn't an issue what the hell is sooo hard about findin a dress in 3 WEEKS?? get off your lazy a$$ and spend a day looking for one. what's one day??

It doesn't sound like your sister is mad. Just preoccupied. With a wedding coming up, she's probably stressed and has a million things on her mind.
Your sister gave you the green light to wear what you want to wear. Show your sister what you've decided to wear and pay attention to her reaction. Just be sure it's tasteful.
