Mother Of teamed up with Saks Fifth Avenue for a dress preview party at the Fifth Avenue Club in Minneapolis. Shopping is better together and it was so much fun to see spring arrivals and some perennial favorites in person, on real moms. Here are some of the standouts:
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe Ruffled One Shoulder Gown
Mother of the groom Jennifer thought she wanted a portrait neckline, until she slipped into this one shoulder gown. This fabric has magical abilities to hold everything in place without squeezing, and it doesn't wrinkle. The shoulder ruffle gives the silhouette a great flair. The style comes in a bright pink as well as garnet. Size 2 to 18. $1,090. Shop the "Umar" dress

Chiara Boni La Petite Robe Halter Ruffle Gown

Theia Asymmetric Neck Gown
The chic neckline on this stretch metallic jacquard fit-and-flare gown is a stunner, combined with the flattering cap sleeve. Size 0 to 18. $795. Theia Beatrice gown.
