My mom wants a silver, long dress with red swirls or red accents for the wedding. I can't find anything that looks appropriate for a mom. I'm not a very good internet shopper
Budget? Approximate size (petite, plus sized, large bust - it affects which styles would be flattering)? Typical style she's comfortable in - is this formal, cocktail semi-formal, or more dressy casual?

There are a lot of gorgeous silver gowns out there, but I can't find anything with the red accents. Could she possibly just wear red shoes and accessories with a silver dress?

Ooooh - Cate I loooove that little "jacket" on Etsy! So cute. The dress is also nice and looks very appropriate.

You gals are such good shoppers! I just called my mom and told her about all the great dresses that you found! She is super excited. I'm going to print them and give them to her! Thanks!

I think she should wear this!

I think that was an option when you check out.
That model is seriously impersonating a mannequin.
What about this with a red sash?
I like this one! Although it doesn't have red, she could always get a red over coat thingy.
This one has a swirly design at the top and you can get it in any color.
That blows. A lot of the dresses are hot, but I can't picture my Mom or BFs mom in most of them. They would furl their brows....lol.

I'm immature. I giggled at the luv love.</div>
I was thinking something like this, a flattering but fairly simple silver gown, but have a jacket made on Etsy with a little red in the design.
Maybe something like this in red?
