Tried this and AI gave me a lot of Alex Evening, Adrianna Papell, and other ubiquitous $125 dresses.

I posted that site. Here it is:

Their recent "Cry for Help" featured a MOB and multiple beautiful dresses she wore for her daughter's wedding and other weddings.

Not sure if this would work with the bridesmaid dresses, but my aunt had a beautiful bronze/warm chestnut satin gown when she was mother of the groom. She is a fair brunette. It really was a stunning and different color.

The collar was the shape of this off-the-shoulder dress but it was higher so it provided more of a cape or top or sleeved effect. It might have had small straps over the shoulder.

Adriana Papel has some nice beaded dresses in a lot of MOB styles. Iโ€™d get a dress in light blue, beige or green. Assuming the brideโ€™s mother is going with floor length.

OP i would look at Teri Jon and Theia for dresses for the wedding. They are one of the few that offers dresses that doesn't dress mom like an aging Ms. America. I really like theia's kimono dress, because I'm a fan on the moms not overdressing for your typical wedding.

Only you and maybe the stylist knows what type of dress and color looks good on you, but I would go with at most a sleeveless dress.

there's no way I'm wearing a slinky satiny dress - I only mentioned as the bridesmaids' dresses (and groomsmen wearing tuxes) are the only things I know about what people are wearing. And to me the slip dresses are a bit less formal than some other choices and that I can keep my wardrobe low key.

this is a great idea but I'm hoping to have a better sense of the type of outfits I'm looking for before I meet with a personal shopper

mother of the groom, upscale Tuscan villa, events Thursday - Sunday. The wedding party men are wearing tuxes, the women satin/silky simple & beautiful long slip dresses (pale yellow or cream with very light, sparse flowers throughout) in October. I'm 5'4", 34DD, 130 pounds. Absolutely require a full support bra (so no sleeveless, backless, off the shoulder, etc). I'd be willing to throw money at this - but I need some ideas of where to start. I know of at least a welcome small pizza party Thursday night, a larger welcome party Friday night (we'll host this one), the wedding ceremony & reception, Sunday brunch (and a day of activities I can figure out myself). Weather will be unpredictable, hopefully mild 60s during the day. Bride prefers events outdoors, but indoor contingency rooms are planned. thanks for any guidance or suggestions.
