mother in laws common sense?

Re: mother in laws common sense?

Agree with Muzna, Wear it and take a photo and send to FMIL..

One she’ll appreciate it and second she will realise herself how big it is.. and get you a smaller size

My MIL has bad taste in clothes and for herself too so whenever I go to see her I get her clothes made as well as mine… and she has an idea of my tastes now in buying material etc

Some of the stuff she bought or had sewn for me in the wedding, i wear them at home around her when I know no one is going to come over

@Muzna

taking the stuff and quietly putting it away could cause bad feelings and problems in the future too…
one day she may confront you and say, “You never wear anything that I get for you!”
someone said it above…you’d be wise to pick your battles…
do you want to deal with this type of confrontation later on and be on the defensive or do you want to diplomatically address it now when you can control the situation?

let her know that you would like to wear the suit for Eid but it is too large…does she know of someone that can alter it to your size?

and for all those that are saying they put stuff away and have no plans on wearing things…would it really hurt you to put something on for a little while to warm someone’s heart and please them?
honestly…some people’s taste you will never be able to change…just grin and wear it…and whenever someone “compliments” you on it, announce loud and proud that MIL gave it to you!

** I once wore a hideous outfit for Eid that was gifted to me and immediately after the person that gave it to me had seen me and I had profusely thanked her, I walked into someone carrying a glass of juice…oops! Didn’t have any choice but to go and change…"
