get a non MOB dress? my mom refuses to get a traditional MOB dress, and i'm worried because i can't imagine what she's going to wear...and i'm worried she's going to wear the same color as the MOH.
haven't even gotten my dress yet!!! So my mom hasn't went shopping yet either
my mom talks about this but I hope when she comes around to ordering she will go for a MOB dress. She is afraid of looking old....not that she is old but she IS 64!
Is your mom open to you coming and offering opinions? My mom ended up with a MOB dress (but not a traditional one - definitely more modern! - all silk in aqua!) - but she repeatedly asked my opinion as to whether some colors were too close to the bm dresses, whether I minded certain things (like the length), etc. Even if it's not a traditional dress, I think it would still be a nice thing for you and your mom to do together, and this way you can 'coach' your mom so that you both feel comfortable with her choice!

what is a 'traditional MOB dress'? Just wondering bc i really have no clue. tx.
My mom is wearing a pants suit..she never wears dresses so I do not expect her to now
hmm..I don't think it's too traditional. there are a ton out there that do not look like 'older women' dresses

My mom got a knee-length dress from nordstrom. It has a jacket, but I don't think that makes it a 'MOB' dress. She loves it, and I do too! :)
My mother is definitely not getting a traditional MOB dress - and frankly I don't really want her to. She's probably going to order a Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dress in whatever colors she wants - still classy and elegant but not typical MOB.
were going shopping on Wed! Ill keep you posted!
my ,mother will she does not loike any of the MOB dress she has found!
my mom actually got a BM dress instead of a MOB dress. it was really classy looking and she doesn't look her age at all, and i thought it looked amazing on her so i actually convinced her to wear it. and she got a sheer matching jacket to go with it. i don't think there's anything wrong with it. who's to say that a MOB dress has to be frumpy and older looking?
