Need advice. My future MIL is a beautiful woman in her mid 60s and we are trying to find a dress she may wear to our wedding. I proposed the following options but she wasn’t a fan of the low back and thin silky fabric. If someone could suggest similar style dresses with more structured fabric, that would be helpful. We need blue colored, mini/midi shift or swing dresses that have a boat neck or modest neckline similar to the photos attached. Trying to stay away from too gaudy designs. $50-$200

Can you find a knock off of this if she likes it. Also just a small caution having recently gone through the wedding process, while YOU may think she looks beautiful, you have no idea what her insecurities are or what she sees in the mirror. Can’t she just pick her own dress? Why are you trying to force a woman into a nightgown style mini dress?

P1’s suggestion is gorgeous 😍 OP try Poshmark or The Real Real. Unfortunately even formal dresses at TJMaxx are at least $250 these days.
