Alright, so, my son’s getting hitched. Huge deal, right? Naturally, I needed to find a dress. Not just any dress, mind you. This was the “mother of the groom” dress. Pressure’s on, you know?
First things first, I started to browse online. I found that there were so many choices! I spent hours to look through tons of websites. I noticed that a lot of them offered pretty big discounts, up to 70% off, and free shipping on bigger orders. Nice!
Then, I narrowed it down. I’ve always loved the color gray. It’s classy, it’s elegant, and it goes with everything. So, I began to search for “gray mother of the groom dresses.” Again, so many options! There were those fancy ones with sequins and lace, some with high necks, others with a more simple, jersey material. Prices were all over the place, from under a hundred bucks to over six hundred. Lots of dresses with free shipping, especially on websites like Macy’s.
I also started to read some stuff online about what colors are good for mothers of the groom. Seems like jewel tones and earthy colors are popular, but a lot of people said gray is totally fine. It’s a neutral color, apparently, and pretty common at weddings. Good to know!
Next, I decided to hit up some real stores. I tried on a few dresses at Nordstrom. The saleslady there was super helpful. She helped me with the fit and even gave some advice about colors.
I tried on a few gray dresses at some other department stores too. One was beaded, another was a sheath dress with some ruching, another had a cold shoulder thing going on. It’s amazing how different a dress can look on you compared to a hanger.
After trying on a bunch of dresses, I finally found the one! It’s a beautiful gray dress with some subtle sequin details. I felt so comfortable in it during the fitting. And it wasn’t too expensive. The fit is just perfect. I can move around easily, which is important because I plan on dancing the night away at the reception.
- Step 1: Browsed online and found some good deals on dresses.

So yeah, that’s the story of how I found my dress. It was a bit of a journey, but I’m so happy with what I picked. Can’t wait to wear it on the big day!
