- Is $588 a good price for this La Femme gown?
- It is the only new price listed, $588 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026, so there is no competing new price to beat it. La Femme mother-of-the-bride gowns commonly run in the $400 to $700 range, so $588 sits mid-pack.
- What sizes are available?
- Listings show US sizes 6 and 16. La Femme sizes run close to standard US dress sizes, so check the brand's size chart against your measurements before ordering.
- What is the fabric and is it lined?
- The shell is polyester with beaded lace applique, and the dress is fully lined. Polyester holds its shape well but breathes less than silk or crepe.
- How does the trumpet cut fit?
- It is fitted through the bodice, waist and hips, then flares from around mid-thigh to the floor. That cut flatters hourglass and pear shapes but leaves little room through the hips, so size to your largest measurement.
- Can it work for a formal wedding guest, not just the mother of the bride?
- Yes. A long, lined gown with short sleeves and a V-neck suits black-tie and formal-dress weddings. Purple works for evening weddings; skip it if the couple has set a strict color palette.
- How should it be cleaned?
- Beaded lace applique is best hand-cleaned or dry-cleaned; machine washing can loosen the beads and distort the lace. Check the care label inside the dress before cleaning.
- Where is the La Femme Trumpet Mother of the Bride Dress Beaded Lace Applique cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $588.00, as of our latest check.
