I'm having a very difficult time finding a gown. They are all so heavy with all the beading and fabric, and I'm just generally uncomfortable in a dress anyway.

I found these 3 online. Would any of them be good? I love the one with the collar and buttons in the front, but I'm not sure it's fancy enough. The 2 v-necks I'd have to figure something out, but there's no beading, so that's a huge plus!

Please help! Thanks!

They look pretty simple for a mother but if you like it go for it!

Alot depends on the standards in your circles and community. I think I like the black satiny v-neck best, but that's my personal taste. You could have a rounded dicky-style insert made for it to make it tnius.

I know what you mean about heavy gowns. I was lucky to find a lace covered gown for DD's wedding that was surprisingly light. I hate being stuffed into heavy clothing. I need to move and breathe!

I think the first option is best.

Oh! I'm OOT, so no Gemach and I don't have the opportunity to go to one before the wedding. 😞

OP I absolutely love the first one- totally my taste! You could dress it up with "diamond" necklace and earrings. Comfortable and fabulous!
