Helping my mother find a dress for grand daughters wedding.
Nothing fancy but not plain...just a nice dress that works for church and other special occasions.

Most of the styles in the local department stores are so slinky and trendy that they just don't look good on a mature lady. {75}

She's petite framed but has the puffy tummy stuff- runs in the family..
semi apple body type

prefers a fabric with some body but not stiff and not the slinky stuff.

So much in stores is blacks and browns now, she looks best in blues, greens, plums, teals and some reds.

If you know of a good site for classic dress styles please let me know.
