I had the same problem. I was so scared because u have to get these things months in advance, so finally my mom found a dress at estelles.

Re: 5 1/2 weeks until my wedding, and my mom still didn't buy a dress!

My mother bought her dress just a month ago, about 2 months before my wedding. She got it off the rack at Eva's in Sayville and had the alterations done by a seamstress I know. It's all ready for her now

My mom thinks she has found her dress.. she tried it on and then was ordering it.. Hopefully it gets here soon or else I know it will upset her..
Don't worry, there the moms they know what they are doing..

I think I would faint if my mom or sisters took a genuine interest in my wedding. it's been the same BS since day 1.

Have her check at estelles. We looked there for my moms dress and they have a pretty good selection.

Re: 5 1/2 weeks until my wedding, and my mom still didn't buy a dress!

Hmmm, well you know my story. I bought my mom's dress 2 days before the wedding...she never even saw it.

But yeah, you have time. David's, Sugar Plum, Macy's, Bloomie's all have off the rack.

Hang in there D - I PROMISE, this is all worth it!

Re: 5 1/2 weeks until my wedding, and my mom still didn't buy a dress!

My mom just got her dress this weekend (I went shopping with her). She got it off the rack at Macys. They definatly have some off-the-rack dresses there that are appropriate i.e. not too flashy but have some beading, etc. to be fancyish.

ETA: It was around $120!

my mom bought her MOB suit/dress off the rack at Nordstroms at the Roosevelt Field mall - it's gorgeous and just needs to be hemmed.
