Anyone want to help me find dresses

[Deleted]

for my mom and STBMIL for the wedding? I'm kinda burnt out and PMSing. 

Requirements for both:

• Plus size (they're both in the size 14-18 range)
• $100 or less
• Dark greens, light peachy/pinks, or silver/gray preferably
• Below the knee/tea length preferable
• Nothing body hugging, fit and flare/A-line preferably

Wat.


This isn't really MOB/MOG material for the wedding?


Maybe this was a bad idea.

Surprising, but have a look at www.dressbarn.com.  They have several things that fit your criteria.

Those are cute dresses, but don't look very mother of the bride/groom appropriate to me.

Don't they want to shop for their own dresses? Or are you just pointing them to some styles that you think you'd like and leaving it up to them to choose whatever they want?

They're both pretty clueless about shopping for themselves. STBMIL rarely wears dresses. They've both asked for my help/input/suggestions. Cause I need one more thing to do.

I told them the general color range and otherwise told them to find whatever they feel comfortable in/can afford because I don't really care all that much TBH. That wasn't enough, now they're asking for links online and/or a day to go shopping with me.

The wedding is in 18 days.

PS: Its not a super fancy wedding and its in the morning, so not formal wear- worthy. That being said, its also not super casual; its a church wedding.

puddleofgrace - those are good suggestions, thank you!

Didn't catch the MOB/MOG part sorry

Ditto the dress barn idea! I've had some good luck with them for dresses for weddings. I'm an 18.

All of these are from Dress Barn.



Maybe too short?

The second one is screwing up for me. In case it doesn't work for you either: link

I really like this one.

EDIT: SERIOUSLY WITH THE LINK. It's this

See! The universe IS trying to give you a break. Just making the wedding planning a tiiiiiiny bit easier

Do you have flexibility on your CCs that you could go to Macy's and/or Dress Barn and purchase a few options and take them to your mom/MIL's house so they can try them on? It'll be faster than spending a day or two dress shopping. PPs links look like both places will have some tons for you.

It looks like there's actually a DressBarn near me (and MIL but not mom) so I'm going to take a look at that.

David's.

Plus sizes are going to complicate the price point- skinny chicks can find pretty dresses with those requirements for cheap, but 14W or 18 is going to be around $200. There's just less available. As a 14W at times, I like sleeves.

I really like this dress, but I don't think it's really a good MOB dress.

Ooooh, I like this one!

I third the suggestion for David's Bridal.

There were a bunch at nNordstrom Rack in that range. You can search by color and size. I dont know if they offer free delivery like regular Nordstrom does.

[RoxMonster]

This one is on sale at DB. Don't know if it's too "blah" but you could always put a cardigan/fancy shrug over it, dress it up with jewelry, etc. Only 34.99!

My MIL wore a dress from Dress Barn to my wedding, it was perfect for a Sunday evening not too casual not too dressy outdoor wedding.

Good luck!
