Any good places to shop for mother of the groom dresses

My fmil needs to find a dress. She can't find anything she likes. Any suggestions of any good places?

My mom really liked the selection at the Macy's in Manhasset. They were a little pricey (I think the cheapest was $500ish), but they were beautiful.

Good Luck!!!

I ended up buying my mother of the groom dress for her (don't ask why I paid - long story) at Lord & Taylor. They have a lot of beautiful dresses!

My mother got hers at Beautiful Bride in Lynbrook and my FMIL got hers at Estelle's. Some places my mom looked included: Sugarplum, Dina's (plainview), My Daughter's Wedding in Great Neck, and there were a number of bridal shops. My FMIL just went to one place and found it.

I also recommend Estelle's in Farmingdale on Route 110. My mom looked in several places before we found out about Estelle's. They have a huge selection.

Sugar Plum in Lynbrook (i think). All you do is tell them your size and they bring the dresses right out. I have been getting all of my dresses there since my semi-formal in 8th grade!!

Re: Any good places to shop for mother of the groom dresses

My mom found her dress in Macy's Manhasset, they wanted $650 ... We went to Totally you in Bellmore ... ordered it for $450!!!

Totally crazy on a Sat, but worth it if you know what you want ... they'll beat most prices by $100 - $200 avg. Give it a shot!

Good Luck!

Re: Any good places to shop for mother of the groom dresses

Take all the info - designer, style # ( although they might be diff.) & price. Ask for Dee, the owner. If she carries the line, she'll get it for you! My mom's is a Jovanni, but I didn't see it anywhere else besides Macy's. She carries the line, but didn't have that dress ... which didn't matter b/c we had already tried it on, and knew what we wanted! It came in in 2 weeks!

I was so stressed b/c I had heard that they could take up 2 6 months to come in which is rediculous! A happy ending all in all!

Good luck! Let me know how you do!

Re: Any good places to shop for mother of the groom dresses

I went wedding gown shopping last night with my mother and grandmother. At Bridal Garden in Bethpage, the mother dresses were about $20 cheaper than the wedding gowns I tried on! My mother couldn't believe that the dresses for her were running in the $500 and $600 range. Needless to say, she is going to take a look at David's Bridal.
