Two birds with one stone
Lori from SD and her friend Theresa are in town and we wanted to meet for lunch so I suggested the Mall of America because I could take the light rail down and then shop for my dress for Adam’s wedding afterwards.

The jacket looks rather shapeless in the photo above but it’s more flattering on and it has a matching sleeveless top. It also has a pretty purple piping and although it looks very VERY busy in these photos it’s more subtle in person.





Oh Mary, that is very pretty! I like it a lot!
Very niiiice! Looking forward to pics.
Very nice, glad that you found a dress. That will be one more thing
you won’t have to worry about. The wedding will be in Georgia
right?
I think it’s lovely.
Oh!! Its beautiful!!! You will look great in it !! So glad you found something today!!
It’s a knockout! Love the hemline.
Wow, we’re actually talking about a dress here, not a quilt! Can’t remember the last time I discussed ‘a hem’! It’s extremely pretty!
Great dress, elegant! It’s perfect!
That is BEAUTIFUL!!!
You will make a lovely mother of the groom. How exciting!
It’s so pretty! You will look great!
very elegant.
Great Dress. Glad you were able to find something that you love. Hope it’s comfortable too. Won’t be long.
Very beautiful dress…you’ll be stunning in it!
I agree, very elegant and understated.
Now, what about shoes?
That always takes me a while to figure out.

Wow! A real dress – that means stockings and shoes, too. I didn’t even wear a dress to my own wedding 4 years ago. I love the dress, anything with purple and black will be a knockout. Don’t forget to post a picture of you in it, and the rest of the wedding party would be okay as well. ;o)
What a lovely outfit. I look forward to seeing a picture of you wearing it.
Very pretty and elegant. I’m sure you will look lovely as always. Looking forward to pics!
Fab-u-lous!
It’s gorgeous…can’t wait to see it ON you!
Nice dress. You did good.
I LOVE the dress…and the colors! And don’t you think that would make a GREAT background fill? :::grin:::: I’m just OBSESSED! lolol
It’s really lovely and I wish I could find something even close to it. I’m looking for a dress(or whatever) for James & Dani’s Sept. wedding. I positively hate shopping for clothes. You really got lucky there. That’s so elegant looking.
You must be doing a formal evening event, because around here the bride and groom’s moms don’t wear black. That must just be a “southern thing” though.
I love purple, it’s my favorite color.
Hey, this could also work for a formal Christmas party!
Beautiful. I love purple & the swirl designs in the jacket are stunning! What color shoes are you going with?
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see more pics of the ceremony and the happy couple! Jenn
It’s a beautiful dress and I know you will be a beautiful mom of the groom!
Very pretty. With your hair and coloring you will be beautiful.
Beautiful dress for a beautiful lady! Enjoy the day
I love your dress Mary – it’s just perfect and looks like it will be comfortable as well as stunning on.
