People were left horrified by the floor-length gold glitzy number she planned to wear to her daughter's wedding day.
The bride-to-be took to social media to share the dress her mum planned to wear asking whether it was appropriate.
Sharing a picture of the dress the woman revealed her wedding was set in a forest in the winter - and it seemed the dress didn't quite fit the theme.

It also seemed that the bride was concerned the dress would upstage hers as she had no 'sparkle at all.'

She wrote: "This is currently my mom’s top contender for her dress for our November wedding.
"Our venue is in a forest park and my wedding dress has no sparkle at all."
The bride-to-be added that the dress code was cocktail attire - but her mum apparently didn't understand it.
"We were going to have the dress code as cocktail attire but she doesn’t understand dress codes because “it’s a wedding!”," she continued.
