Shopping for a special occasion dress is stressful under normal circumstances, but when the occasion is your daughter's wedding, the pressure is really on!  Not only do you want to look perfect in front of family and friends (some of whom you may not have seen in years), but also because it's your daughter's special day.  Everyone will be looking back at these photos for the rest of their lives.  That's a lot of stress added to what is an already tense situation.  Add to that your daughter's thoughts on what she wants you to wear, the pressure of having to find your dress before the mother of the groom shops for her dress (wedding etiquette dictates that MOB shops before MOG) and things can become volatile pretty quickly.  Before you consider giving your daughter money to elope so you don't have to deal with any of it, take a deep breath and relax. Read this article for some tips on how to find the perfect dress while keeping your daughter (and yourself) happy and stress-free in the process.
