Lately, it seems that brides have been paying more attention to the dresses they choose for their bridesmaids--considering things like cost, and whether or not the dress could be worn again. New lines of party dresses like those at
J.Crew,
Ann Taylor and
Threads that are targeted at the idea of "modern maids" is making this easier....as is the common sense idea to simply choose a bridesmaid's dress off the rack!
So I
love to see this same consideration given to mothers of the brides!
Nordstrom.com has a 'Mother of the Bride" section in their dress shop with about 300 dresses--many very reasonably priced, too. Just a heads up to take a look!
Below are two of my faves from the Nordstrom selection:
Calvin Klein Sequined Gown and Twist Front Bolero: $189
JS Collections Off Shoulder Laser Cut Gown: $147
