Color Is Important •
You’ll want to look for a dress that blends with the bride’s chosen colors. Most moms use the bridesmaids’ dresses as a palette. If their gowns are green, you shouldn’t choose a pink dress. A different shade of green or even a dress in a complementary shade of blue would be a better choice. You want to avoid white, ivory, black, red, anything too bright (like an electric-blue gown), and anything too overdone.
Try to Make Shopping Fun •
Go to lunch. Go to dinner. Make a day (or two) of it. If you’re hitting a lot of shops and you fear you won’t remember where you saw which dress, take a notebook along and write down a description of each dress alongside the name and address of the store. Knowing that you tried on the perfect dress somewhere — but can’t remember where — is enough to make you decide to wear shorts and flip-flops to the reception.
Set a Dress Budget •
Maybe you walk into the first dress shop on your list and you find it — the dress, the one you were imagining, the one that makes you look twenty pounds slimmer and ten years younger. One problem: it costs twice as much as you wanted to spend. Oh, but it’s worth it, isn’t it? You are the MOB, and you do have to look your best.
Seamstresses versus Bridal Shops •
If you can’t find what you’re looking for in a shop, or if you have found exactly what you want but you’re not willing to pay the bridal shop’s prices, you might look into hiring a seamstress to create your one-of-a-kind MOB dress. Still unsure about handing over the duties to one woman? The dress shop at least has other dresses on the premises in case disaster strikes. Is dealing with one safer than the other? Not really. There are pros and cons to seamstresses and dress shops
Evening Gowns & Dresses •
Our evening dresses are so beautiful they have been known to start and stop a conversation at the exact same time. They regularly turn heads, weaken knees, and raise blood pressure. In short, when you decide to wear a Morilee Fromal Evening Gown to your next event, you can check off, “Be the most striking person in the room” on your to-do list.
Determine whether you’re dark or light •
Once you know your undertone, use your natural hair color to help determine whether you’re dark or light. This will help you further refine which colors look best with your undertone.
