Somehow I don't think this is the dress my mom will be wearing to the wedding. If you can believe it, this dress is pictured in the "Mother of the Bride" (or Groom, I suppose) section of a national bridal shop chain website. Most of the other dresses are hardly any more matronly than this one. And the models all look as if they're 30.

In exactly what kind of situation would a mother-of-the-bride be trying to outfox her daughter? Divorcee trying to outshine her ex-husband's trophy wife? Divorcee trolling for a date? Mother of a fourteen-year-old bride thinking she's too young not to look hot? O.K., probably not that last one.
