Hi all, I am having a heck of time finding an elegant long gown for several black tie weddings and a future mother-of the bride dress. I feel like most of the dresses on the Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman, etc. websites are either for younger women (with cut-outs, deep V necks) or very matronly. I am also somewhat petite (5'4", 128 lbs) so many of the gowns are just too much fabric.
Anyway, I often see women at other weddings with really cool, elegant dresses and wonder where they got them! Can anyone share some websites that aren't the typical ones? I just don't know where else to look and I am sure there are probably tons of places I just don't know about! Thank you! |

| I go on RealReal. Agree the dresses in the sores are nothing to get excited about. |

| Chiara Boni and Talbot Runhof both make decent gowns for this age group |

This age group? I'm 53 and shop at the same places I did at 43. Not 33 only because I have more money so can spend more. |

| I’m a fan of some of the simpler cuts from Adriana Papell. Nordstrom and Bloomies carry some. There are more colors on AP’s site. |
