There are few things I dread more in life than going dress shopping with my mother. But I can honestly say the staff at White House Black Market made a recent shopping trip a really fun excursion.
Mom and I dropped in on a Sunday afternoon to find a dress for her to wear to my step sister's wedding. I was hell bent on preventing her from wearing an awful stereotypical "mother of the bride" dress and I knew that WHBM would have some age and body appropriate dresses for my mom. Dresses can be a little pricey there for my thrifty mother's tastes, but...the sales staff was so warm and encouraging, they were able to make my mom look and feel like a million bucks without actually spending that much. I really appreciated how nice and complimentary everyone was and how they really put my mom at ease and made her look even more beautiful than she already does. I'll definitely be heading there the next time I need a nice dress for an event!
