Personal Shopper: Mother of the Bride

Reader Request

I am getting married in a few months and my mom has been searching for a dress, but has been unsuccessful so far. She is a petite woman about 5'3" and self-conscious about her "flabby arms". I saw this dress on Jenna Fischer of The Office from the SAG Awards. I really liked it for her. I want to try to find a similar dress. Help!

I found the perfect dress - it reminds me of Jenna's and will be very flattering on your mother. It's a bit pricier than what I normally feature on this blog but under $200 for a mother of the bride dress is still fairly reasonable, I believe. I hope she loves it, and congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Yay! Jenna's out and about again! If I was recovering from a broken back, I'd wear something just like this - an adorable babydoll shift dress and flats. I think she looks gorgeous.
