    My mom found hers at David’s Bridal, but Azazie also has great options.

    Along with the suggestions Caytlyn gave, department stores with a good evening gown suggestion are another option. My mom found hers at Lord and Taylor.

    Nordstrom or any department store. Don’t search “mother of the bride” dresses unless she wants something more matronly.

    My mom is getting hers from Azazie. She's also petite so she already knows she'll have to get it altered

    Both my FMIL & my stepmom bought their dresses from Dillards. They both took their pants in to get hemmed as they didn’t fit well.

    I agree with PP to not just look for “mother of the bride” dresses. My mom got hers from Macy’s I think. We went shopping at the mall and looked at all the department stores ( Dillards, JC Penny, Macy’s, I think we went to Kohl’s and Belk). She didn’t find anything the first go around either. She kept looking and eventually found something she loved while looking online.

    Adrianna Pappell has some lovely dresses, both online and at Nordstrom and Macy's. Look in the bridesmaids section as well as mother-of-the bride. My floral wedding dress was from the mother-of-the-bride section. Mine was predominately blue; this year's color is blush.

    My mom is also petite and she got hers at Macy's. She did have to have it altered though to shorten the length.

    My mom found many options at Dillard's. As a petite person I find a good selection of dresses at Macys.

    Definitely try Azazie! My MIL is getting her dress through them (same with my bridesmaids) - they have a MOB section with a really wide variety (not just "matronly" options and not any more expensive) and does custom sizing!

    Azazie has some really nice options and can do custom sizing which is phenomenal. Both our moms found their dresses at Dillards and had a really good experience.

    Honestly, I think my mom just got hers at Ross.... For reference, my mom is tiny. 4'11" and about 85lbs. I haven't seen the dress on her, but it's super cute! It also depends on the level of formality of the event, though. My wedding will be pretty dang simple, so you can pretty much find something anywhere. Getting a MoB dress for a black tie wedding at Ross might not work out so well...
