Re: Walima Dress Woes 
If I were the MIL and the bride insisted on making her own outfit, I WOULD let her. I’m just saying that if they are making it, and it is something they want to give you, it is a gift from them, and it involves a lot more care and effort than perhaps you realize, and you should be thankful (and you do seem to be). It’s not worth stressing over and creating issues about, UNLESS you think their intent is malicious.
