To be honest, I have been dreading looking for a dress. Although I knew what I wanted (linen sheath, preferably pink), I doubted I would be able to find just the right dress. Then, on Sunday, Emily and I stopped by the Goodwill on our way back from picking up her wedding dress (a perfect fit — what a relief). We found some things for the tables (more depression glass and some pretty cutwork doilies), a wonderful Bergdorf Goodman wool/cashmere jacket for Emily ($10), and this pretty dress which Emily found. Okay, this isn’t my photo (because my pictures were terrible) — it’s from an ebay listing I discovered yesterday for the exact same dress. But my dress was only $13.00, and I love the idea of finding the perfect dress at the Goodwill. The only problem: it’s a size 8 and it’s tight. For this wedding, the bride’s mother (instead of the bride) will be going on a diet to fit into her dress.
What a lovely dress! Perfect for the MOB… and what a GREAT price too! Congratulations on the wonderful Goodwill find… and best wishes to the bride-to-be!
You can do it Martha and it will be worth every pound you lose! I’ve found the best clothes at Goodwill-it seems you gotta be willing to dig though. Congrats on the fantastic dress!
It is Lovely!!! Lucky you!
That is one gorgeous dress! What a lucky find.
BTW – a good pair of Spanx undergarments can save a mother of the bride weeks of dieting! 😉
Oh my that is gorgeous! You just find the best things, Martha!
What a pretty color! I love the detail on the front! Congrats on the great find!
What a lovely dress~~!!!! Love the color! 🙂 You are going to have to take pics of the decorations before the reception. You’ve done so much work and I know a bunch of us want to see photos!!! 🙂 Hugs, Mickie
LOVE this dress, Martha! It is the prettiest mother-of-the-bride dress I have ever seen. All of the preparations for Emily’s wedding are so fun and festive – it truly is a celebration and it sounds like you both are having fun pulling it all together. This dress will fit right in… and I’m sure you will fit right in it!
