    What do you think of this as MOB dress?  My mom hasn't seen it yet so I don't know her opinion.  She is dragging her feet because she wants to lose weight before buying a gown, however I don't see the harm in buying a gown now.  I think this will flatter her regardless if she loses weight or not. 

    Oh and my dress is Mori Lee 1612.

    Depending on how conservative she is, the back might be a little low, and a shawl/jacket would be overkill.  Beautiful dress, but it doesn't scream MOB to me.  And at a near 4-figure price tag, she would want to be sure it fits if she's planning on losing weight.

    Yeah, my mom's pretty young and I can't see her going for that dress.

    She has tons of time to get a dress...I wouldn't start worrying about it until springtime.

    Pretty and a great choice if it's her style! The back isn't too low at all and I love the illusion neckline. Is your wedding inside or out? That's the only thing that might concern me.

    I would just back off and let her choose a dress when she is ready.

     Did you notice that dress is only available in a 4 and an 8?

    @julies1949: I would be buying it off of a different site, also I'm worried that she will wait too long- I can see her doing this as she has for multiple other events.

    @inspiredcreationsbyhaley: I would be getting it at 300, which is still steep but better than 1k.

    @hotchildinthecity: One of the reasons I would be buying it now is because it is on a deal site.

    Hmm, I don't think she would have a problem with the back- we'll see.

    Love the dress.  It's fashionable and youthful but totally appropriate and elegant.  Great eye.

    Is it returnable? Some evening wear isn't.

    Yes it is returnable.  It actually sold out, but I put down that I would like it if someone returns it or they have another available for whatever reason *crosses fingers*

    She likes it, let's just hope that if it is ordered she will like it on as well.
