When we returned back to the Sacramento area, we visited the Nordstrom in Roseville to continue our MOB dress search, and although the location didn't have the bridal suite, the selection of dresses was much more impressive!
The first dress was
Adrianna Papell's Flutter Sleeve Dress. We liked the shape of the dress, but Momma Hawk was not a fan of the flutter sleeve.
Second off was the
Patra Pleated Satin Sheath. This dress was definitely a step up from the previous dress but not as special as some of the others we'd seen.
This dress,
Donna Ricco's Ruffle Trim Sheath Dress, was a definite contender and probably our second favorite. It was figure flattering and we loved the neckline. (Seeing it now makes me fall in love all over again.)
We liked the color of
Adrianna Papell's Tiered Chiffon Dress, but it wasn't a winner.
Adrianna Papell's Faux Wrap Chiffon Dress was also pretty, but not one of our favorites.
We went back and forth (and back and forth [and back and forth]) on this one.
JS Collection's Ruffle Neck Satin and Crepe Sheath was absolutely gorgeous and so flattering. It was elegant and unique. We were incredibly torn. Momma Hawk worried about wearing black as a MOB, and we considered that maybe it was more suitable for a cocktail party than wedding. (But it was
so pretty on her!)
Lastly, Momma Hawk tried on our favorite and front-runner Adrianna Papell, this time in gold. The dress in gold was our definite favorite, as compared to it in silver and lavender.
Momma Hawk ended up purchasing the gold sheath, but truth be told we were still wavering. She selected it because we deemed it the most "wedding appropriate" and it was definitely beautiful. I think the overabundance of options at our second outing ended up making the decision much more complicated!
What were the criteria when you selected the MOB dress? Was color important? Was there a particular "wedding look" you were looking for?
