The Perfect Mother of the Bride Dress... Almost...

Hello to all of our LCNY fashionistas.   I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday.  I have lots of great info about our upcoming show but first a shout out to our petite peeps!  A little leftover holiday humor.  The fact is this Wednesday we have a maxi dress in the show that comes in regular and PETITE sizing... also a pull on ponte knit cropped jean, dare I say these words... yes... PETITE sizing available.


Now if that did not get your attention, my MOB story will, grab your coffee it is long.  I found the dress!  After many hours of shopping, it was purchased.  A long gown, dove sliver, that went perfectly with the bridesmaid dresses and the suits.  My size, no alterations.  Shoes purchased plus a great clutch.  Mother of the groom got hers to coordinate. I tried the dress on for multiple female family members to all high reviews, but the morale to the story is they all saw it on me at night.   Pay attention it gets ugly.  On Easter, my daughter Meghan asked me to bring the dress to my Mom's house and show her because she was the only one not to see it.  I put on my beautiful new dress, shoes and handbag. I did the runway walk into the family room filled with guests.  At first rave reviews, but as I spun around in front of the palladium windows my father exclaimed (thank God for Dads), "you can see everything". The sun coming through the windows made the dress so sheer. OMG! Fortunately I had undergarments on...  Needless to say I was a big hit at the Easter event and the dress was shipped back on Monday. Our maxi skirt on the other hand is lined, our maxi dress is made with the beefy cotton so this, my friend, will never happen to you.  I got you covered... haha... See you Wednesday morning with MBR!
