It's very difficult for my mom to find anything that fits her right, so she is willing to spend a little above average. She just wants to find something that she loves and looks good on her.

We went shopping yesterday for her to three different places and no luck yet. She likes one at Sugarplum in Lynbrook. I think the dress looks great on her, but she just wants to look around some more.

What I plan to spend on a MOB gown, is hopefully not over $200/$250!!! I'm afraid my Husband wouldn't understand more than that, coming from an Amish background! Now if I want new floor covering, etc., THAT he would understand!! Where's a fairy godmother when you need one? Mary MOB

I think my Mom is unsure on how much she wants to spend. She wants to look beautiful and is willing to spend the money to feel that way, however, she is on a budget and is not buying a wedding dress...so we'll see

Sorry I don't have a number, but she hasn't picked a dress yet. The ones she like range from the 300's to 1500. I doubt she will get the 1500 one.

My mom is the bargain queen. She regularly gets clothes for over 90% off at department stores. I hope she spends $15.

Re: Do you know how much your mom plans on spending on her dress?

My mom was looking to spend under $200 but unfortunately it didnt happen

but she loves her dress and its her $ so thats all that matters

you really can get deals at some bridal shops and even dept stores

my mom was originally looking at davids bridal for a bm dress but ended up looking at the place she got hers from before making her decision.

My mom's was in the $200-$300 range but she got it at a Jasmine Trunk Show and got shoes and a purse included as well! She was looking to spend under $300, although she did try on dresses that were more expensive, she just couldn't justify it to herself!
