It's my mom 25th anniversary party ar Ritz-Carlton ballroom. Her theme color is dusty pink with silver.

me & my 2 sisters need dresses, I'll look around but didn't find any that I really like. (we're 5'1-5'2", 90-95 lbs). I was thinking silver minidress with stones/ or something sparkey, but my mom kind of insisted on long dresses.
I'm thinking black, grey, silver or nude color for my dress. My sister could live with pink, I'm not.

any ideas? the party will be on August.

TIA

I live in Vegas, but the party will be in my home country in Asia.
The problem being..My mom & the rest of our Asian family.. they are more show-y and like fancier dresses (In another word, busy looking dresses with jewels, sequins, ribbons, etc) than Americans. While me.. I like simpler dress with flattering cut and fine detailing. then grab a nice diamond necklace, bracelet or rings to accesorize.. ;p
She almost never like my pick because they're either too simple or the color is always black, grey, nude , at most dark blue or red. She likes pink and pastel colors. But, I'm the shopper in the family.. gah..hard to do because we have opposite taste.

But, since this is her party, I'll cave in a bit and find fancier dresses. Don't know if these dresses are fancy enough for her taste.

Here are some of the dresses I'm considering but nothing I really fell in love with.

I have this dress but I'm pretty sure my mom won't approve
 
^YAY, you posted one of the dresses i did :smile:

the jill stuart one with sequins that's the in the first column, second row is gorgeous IRL. I wore it to a formal event in May with black satin ballet flats... I'm obsessed with it. I got it in NYC for $250... off of like $800!

I love this dress, looks like narcisco rodriguez or something, but the problem is I like to eat like a pig at a party.. I'm gonna mess up that white dress. Gorgeous though

I saw this at shopbop too. I kind of like them and actually thinking to get it for my sister. Beautiful dress. I saw it IRL at LA fashion market. Sequins never really my stuff but I like looking at them.

^i also have this. it is my favorite dress.
How's the fit? run big or small? knee length or mini in IRL? out of all dresses, I like this one the most

i know none of these are full length, but i really think there's a way to make a knee-length dress very formal.

Thanks so much for those links.. I'm going to pass it on to my sis and mom.. see if they find anything they like. You have great tase in dresses.

1. the Jill Stuart dress with the bow does come in silver. it was on sale at net-a-porter but I think they only have a 10 now... can't remember. I know Macy's in SF has the silver in a lot of sizes. You could try calling there. I'll also look for it online.

2. The Cynthia Rowley fits pretty TTS. It is so gorgeous IRL. If you love the pictures, you'll LOVE the dress when you put it on!!!
Here it is on... scroll down about half way:
