Mother of the Bride dress shopping???

We will be in Paris during November 2007. Our daughter is getting married in May 2008. I thought I might try to find a dress while in Paris. I don%26#39;t need Haute Couture. So, can any of you shoppers give me an idea or two where I might luck out and find something?

Will spring clothing even be in the stores in November?

Oh - nothing funky - please.... I%26#39;m 59 and tend to go to the more classic lines.

Thanks!

I am afraid you will not find spring clothes in November, only the winter collection!

Clothes in Paris cost a fortune!!! I couldn%26#39;t believe my eyes

Good luck

There are a few Bridal shops in the Marais area close to Place des Vosage and Rue Francs Bourgoies. I can%26#39;t remember which streets but I did see 2 or 3 of them. Maybe check the pagesjaune.com website and do a search. I actually peeked in and saw a beautiful bride to be dressed in her gown getting all teary eyed, so sweet. Good luck.

Have fun dress shopping in Paris, and congratulations on being an MOB!

It will be the wrong time of the year to look for a Spring dress.

I agree the price of a dressy dress will pop your eyes! Much more to choose from and much more reasonably priced right ere at home.

My French cousin bought her mother of the bride dress right here in the USA and keep saying good quality, wonderfully designed and great prices!

Ok - MOB here...

I am not looking for haute couture/designer clothing. And, I really don%26#39;t know what a mother of the bride dress actually is. I am thinking more along the line of a classic suit or dress.something I can wear again and again...and I just thought that there might be a few places that might be worth checking out. I don%26#39;t mind paying for good lasting quality though.

I do remember reading that thread from Phred, so will go back to it. And I suppose if spring clothes are not out, then I will wait til they appear here.

I%26#39;ll just play it by ear.....who knows? I may be surprised!!

Thanks!

As one MOB to another, I believe that your dress can be whatever you want it to be. MOB styles differ, and I believe that everyone should wear what she feels best in. I hope you find something that makes you happy, whether you find it in Paris or in one of your local stores.

In November they will already have bridal/birdesmaid/MOB for the spring out. Due to Brides for the are already purchasing their gowns for spring weddings.

Remember bridal studios always have to be a season ahead of regular clothing.Can someone please help this MOB with just some store ideas that is all she is looking for please....

Cheers,
