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.

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.

Obviously you get the gown tailored.

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

Soliloquy Bridal in Herndon has a great selection of mother of the bride gowns.

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!
