What a disappointing day looking for MOB dresses
We went to a few places that were recommended to my mother by various people she works with...what a big FAT waste of time
The first place was in Queens and was a complete disaster...the second place was in Lynbrook where the people who worked there were so completely obnoxious that I had to walk away and then we went to another place in Floral Park where they could have cared less about our business!
I guess its back to Lillettes for my mom and I!

Re: What a disappointing day looking for MOB dresses
That does stink! I have to say the one thing I dreaded was looking for MOB dress b/c my mom would only go with me. It eventually turned out okay, but I understand what you are going through!

Re: What a disappointing day looking for MOB dresses
Kathleen, you should have your mom try Renates here in Lindenhurst. They have a big selection & are very nice. My FMIL started there...

Re: What a disappointing day looking for MOB dresses
Thanks Ladies!
Its a little hard because my mom is very modest, petite (5 '1)but is also apple shaped...she had a bigger upperbody than lower body....I feel bad that the places were went today are like well you know you need something to cover "that up" meaning her stomach!!! That made me upset...it was just rude!

Re: What a disappointing day looking for MOB dresses
Kathleen - I'm not sure the price range you're looking for/at, or even what size. My Mother started looking through catalogs and on the internet for dresses, and she found the most amazing dress at Coldwater Creek and bought hers there. It's worth a shot to look at! Good luck with everything and sorry it didn't work out in the other places.
