Mother of the groom Dress?
#41
I have a beautiful beige Mother of the Groom dress. It has a lot of sparkle and It worked out very well. The brides maids wore periwinkle and because they were having problems finding a dress for the mother of the bride and I had to travel, it worked out great.

Hi Donna, gotta second the option of looking at secondhand stores, especially for something you're not going to wear all the time. Found my friend a lovely pale green tea-length shift with a jacket for $5 for her daughters wedding. Are you sure you'd be so conspicuous in the dark one you saw? Good luck!

I have time but for some reason became obsessed this week about this! I really have to wait for MOB to choose a color but I am looking more for the type of style right now. I am so out of the loop!!

I would think that you could wear what makes you comfortable as long as it's not flashy, or the opposite...you don't want to look like you're in mourning either!
What color are the groomsmen wearing? You can "match" (not an exact match, but you know what I mean) them...making it obvious that you're the mother of the groom...
Macy's has some beautiful things, and if you catch their sales or clearances, you can get better prices than Walmart!! Check out TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, and those types of stores too...name brands at awesome prices!
No matter what you wear, I'm sure that you're going to be beautiful and appropriate! Hey! How about a quilted skirt? :lol:

Oh a quilted skirt!! Yea right!!LOL The groomsmen are wearing black with lavender vests as far as I know. Her dress is very pretty, laces up the back, beads and sparkles on the top a little fuller skirt with gathers making it look kind of puffy. I do not want to go purple as it isn't my color at all and my son loves the turquoise. I will wait to see what color her mom chooses.

Could you make the dress yourself. It would surely be less expensive (depending on the fabric and sale) and you could find a easy-to-do pattern (which are quick to make). Just a suggestion. I will also try the consignment or Goodwill, etc. Good luck

A friend of mines son got married recently and she found a beautiful dress at Coldwater Creek. I'm not sure if they are located everywhere, but they do have an online catalog.
It was not terribly expensive and just dressy enough for the wedding-very classy.
