Help me dress my mom!!

Have you tried The Limited, JCrew, Banana Republic, or White House Black Market? You could also look at Boston Store or Dillards.

Too bad your wedding is so close or I recommend that she look at Bridesmaid dresses. My mom is on the small side and we ended up getting her a bm dress because it fit her personality more.

Kohls

What about something like this?

Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Talbots

Khol's or Dillards....my mom works at dillards here and they have cute petite stuff

You ladies are fantastic.... thank you! I totally was not looking in the right spot on Dillards for petites.... and I forgot Kohls has more online than in store.... AND that j-crew dress is super cute!

The Limted has super cute things sometime!

If you have an Impression Bridal they have MOB dresses.

Try shopping in the jr dept of the department stores or "younger" stores like Debs, Forever 21, 5,7,9. And since it's prom season they have tons of stuff.

Ann Taylor and AT Loft have way more petites options online, and returns are easy - just take whatever doesn't work back to an actual AT or Loft store. Land's End is also full of petites options online and can be returned to Sears, so if she doesn't need a very fancy dress you might want to try their website.

Just keep checking back to Macy's, lord&taylor any of those stores bc I had a similar problem with my mom but she's on the heavier side & picky. We went to different malls around us and it finally took a hour drive to a Macy's to find her dress. I've now realized even though its Macy's different locations have different options. Good luck!!

I live in the Columbus, ohio area and they have a nice store that has some formal looking dresses. Heres the link:

I'm on dressbarn.com right now! I can't believe I forgot about that one.... I feel like if we're going to find anything, it'll be there!! YAY!

Look under dresses...then social occasion. You may have found them but just wanted to let you know where I found them

I have a similar situation but my mom refuses to buy a new dress. She would rather shop at thrift stores and yard sales. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a good deal but just once can she buy a new, nice dress! I don't want to hurt her feelings but if she comes at me with another flowery dress or 80's style I'm afraid it's going to happen!

@ Jessica, I was afraid of wht my FMIL would wear so offered to buy hers...lol. It was an easy way out and she looks great in it We bought it at JC Penny for 30 bucks!!

Zappos is good too! People forget a lot of times they sell clothes (amongst everything else) and their returns are SUPER easy and shipping is FAST FAST FAST!
