As the Mother of the bride I wanted a dress that was both elegant AND a fun party look! I am not the matronly type! My daughter, the bride, found this amazing dress and we agreed it was perfect for me. Mama of the bride on top and party on bottom! Loved that it is short too to show some leg:) I received numerous compliments and many said I should buy it which I will! My friend's daughter wants to rent it for an upcoming wedding too. Thank you for taking the stress of what to wear away. I felt so great all night! Camille Lawson
