so my mom has put off getting her dress because 1. shes really busy and 2. i think doesnt have a real idea about what kind of dress she wants. she can list about 1000 styles she wouldnt want, and i dont blame her ive seen some of them and theyre just not her. where have you girls gone to find dress. any suggestions on where we can start looking?

Re: mob dress
Hi I am a mom and just got my dress. I hated the traditional dresses. I went to moonlight couture in Merrick and to Paradise bridal in Patchogue but then ordered it from Phyliss at Bridal elegance in Dix Hills since she was $300 cheaper. It is a jovani 2007. I found that those two stores had a large selection of all different styles. Also I went to PM boutique in Oceanside. They were expensive but taught me a lesson on what kind of dress was best for my body type. Good luck

Re: mob dress
MY FMIL purchased her dress at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa, where I also bout my dress. She just has to start trying on different types of dresses to get an idea of how they look on her, and then narrow it down to a particular style and color. My FMIL picked out dresses that looked great on the hanger, but did nothing for her.

My mom bought her dress at Lynbrook bridal. Pics are in my album! It only took a few weeks to come in because the manufacturer had it in stock!

Re: mob dress
My mom got her dress at Metamorphasis in St. James. She had also tried on dresses at Helen's (Wedding World) in Commack, the Wedding Center, and Bridal Suite in Centereach.
My step-mom got her dress at Eva's in Sayville - she said they were really nice there and had a good selection.
My FMIL got her dress at Bridal Suite in Centereach.

Re: mob dress
def. check out Metamorphis in St. James. Best service hands down. Largest MOB selection and many different styles/sizes to try on. Not everything is a 10, you know what I mean.

Re: mob dress
Lord & Taylor's in the city. My mom was like that too. Both she and my MIL got their dresses right off the rack there and they both looked terrific. My mom waited until a month before my wedding to shop because she was dieting like crazy.

Re: mob dress

Re: mob dress
I think my mom bought one for my wedding already, and while she will prolly end up returning it and changing her mind before the wedding, she got it at Talbots of all places. But my mom also doesn't like traditional MOB dresses for herself. Other good places to try may be the department stores. They usually have a wide variety of styles and colors etc.

Re: mob dress
thanx again for the input girls! we tried on friday at a few bridal places and she didnt find anything, we ended up going to GAP and Ann Taylor where she got some great summer stuff though. so we're going to try again on monday. this time we're going to hit up the dept. stores i think she might be better off there. i'll let you know how it goes.
