Place to buy reasonable Grandmother of the bride dresses

jc0n15

My grandmother is stressing out about what to wear for my wedding. She wants to "cover everything but her head" and needs it to be cheap. She is on a very tight budget and has my wedding and then 5 weeks later my brothers wedding to buy dresses for. Any suggestions on where to find something for her. We looked at David's Bridal, Macys, and Lord and Taylor and everything she liked was close to or over $200.

Consignment shops!  Definitely for special occasion dresses.  I've seen so many pretty "MOB" dresses at the upscale shops.

If you don't mind driving a bit, I would try Olivia's Bridal and Livybuggs' Consignments. It's down in Acushnet. They are pretty new but have amazing deals. I got my wedding dress, rehearsal dress and my mother's MOB dress there! I guess they have a pretty good sized area for MOBs- so my guess is your grandmother would be able to find something there too! Check out their website here: http://www.oliviasbridal.com/

Good luck and God bless!

My mom got my grandmothers dress at Macy's. Very pretty plum long dress with a rose on the hip.

FMIL bought her dress at JC Penney. They had a lot of the styles that came with a jacket or some kind of cover up, so even if she buys a sleeveless dress, she can still be covered.
