After much looking, I finally found a Mother of the Bride dress for my daughter's wedding (just a couple of weeks away now). I am a petite, but not exactly small (short & short-waisted, not particularly small otherwise), so finding a dress that fit & flattered was difficult.I ordered this navy blue dress from Macys.com, figuring I could return it to the store if it didn't work. It wasn't available in my local stores. The dress comes in regular misses or petites.
