Is the wedding in the DMV area, or further south?

If she's a rower, she probably has great arms, and is fit, right? Would she do something like this?

Here's another one-shouldered one that is really pretty:

Or this one which would need a wrap but I think it wouldn't be matronly:

There are some really pretty strapless, but I'm assuming that's a no-go?

This one could be pretty:

I love this one, and it's a fall color, but most women would probably think too bright for MOB:

I guess the asymetrical is really in this year, as I'm seeing a lot more really pretty one-shouldered dress, but she'd have to be pretty comfortable showing off that shoulder.

I'm about your mom's size, and I would get eaten up by those floral gowns. They are pretty, but I think they're too overwhelming for a petite woman.

I wasn't expecting to like the above dresses, but the more I looked at them, the more I thought your mom would look awesome in something like this.

Her mother is 5’5. She is not petite, she is a tad over average height for a woman. If the dress is fitted right, she would not be overwhelmed and she isn’t 5 feet.

I know, but she said she's a size 2. I am also 5'5" and a size 2, and I look AWFUL in big prints.

Why do all the models look so pissed off? Maybe they realize the dresses are awful?

But look at the full site - lots of floor length and sheer sleeves options in tons of colors (although I don't see a floral option).
