Where should I get or rent an inexpensive Mother Of The Groom Dress? Brenda B. is dressing up in Long Beach, CA
First, congratulations to you and your family this is an exciting time. For most special events one of the stressors is always what to wear. As the mother of the groom, expect to be in many photos but also support in ceremonial activities, so the ideal dress will be one that makes you feel absolutely radiant, is tasteful and flows beautifully during the mother and son dance. Fortunately, there are resources that can deliver all of those attributes at a reasonable price.

RENT THE RUNWAY
Rent The Runway is a perfect option for anyone looking to rent any item of clothing. It is an easy online rental service that offers thousands of designer outfits and accessories available for rent. Who wouldn’t want to wear an expensive designer dress for less than half the price? The website even organizes categories for you to make sorting through the many options easier. In the dress category under the trending tab, there is currently a category called “The Wedding Shop”, which could be a great place to start. Once you have found a dress you like, you can look at pictures of how it fit other people. Rent the Runway offers pictures of other people who have worn that dress. On top of that, those people most likely share their thoughts, opinions, measurements, and the size they worn in that exact dress. Once you find the perfect dress, they allow you to order two sizes. They also have some in-store locations in Woodland Hills, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, and New York City. Between your dress preferences and other peoples experiences, you should be able to find the perfect dress.
DRESSES FOR LESS
Sometimes renting a dress can be difficult. Don’t stress though because there are still beautiful dresses out there for less. A perfect example of a brand that exemplifies this statement is Adrianna Papell. She designs classy dresses for all sorts of occasions. Just recently, the Orange is the New Black star, Taryn Manning, wore a $200 to the SAG Awards. The dress was absolutely chic and elegant. Papell’s can be found at most department stores like Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue and are usually between 100 to 300 dollars.
MACY'S
So many options can be found at major department stores but Macy's will usually have the most options. On top of that, Macy's offers tremendous customer service options. They will take any measurements and do any sort of alterations for your dress. This makes the shopping experience an enjoyable one because it is basically personalized to you. Between sales, deals, and coupons, one should never pay full price for a beautiful dress at Macy's anyway.
