Mother of the Bride dress

So - my wonderful mother and I have started her search to find the perfect dress.  We've been to Catans, Demitrios, and a couple other bridal shops in the area.  She wants something knee length.  Everything we see looks like BM dresses - chiffon, flowly, plain.  Which is alright for the girls, but my mom wants to dazzzle!  Where should we look and where did you find your MOB dress?  Thoughts please :)

Thanks girls!

    My mom found her dress at Kaufmann's, which is now Macy's. Has your mom looked at any of the regular dept. stores? Nordstrom, JC Penney, Sears, Dillards, Macy's... any of them are worth checking. Burlington Coat Factory also may have something. Think outside the 'bridal box'. :)

    Not sure what you mean by dazzle, but I attended a bridal show that featured eye catching MOB dresses. It was called Peneventures. Not my mom's taste, but might be what you are going for.

    My mom hasn't taken the plunge yet since our wedding isn't until August, but she has found some nice options at Dillard's.
