Finding an elegant mother of the bride dress for a special occasion like a wedding is important. Chadwick might refer to a specific brand, designer, or store, but if you're looking for general advice or options, here are some tips and ideas to consider when choosing an elegant dress:

### Tips for Choosing Mother of the Bride Dresses
1. **Consider the Wedding Theme and Color Scheme:** Make sure the dress complements the wedding's overall style and palette. Often, the bride may have preferences or suggestions for what her mother should wear.

2. **Opt for Comfort and Elegance:** As the wedding day is long, choosing a comfortable dress that also meets the elegance required for such an occasion is crucial.

3. **Accessorize Appropriately:** Accessories can enhance the elegance of the outfit. Consider elegant jewelry, a matching clutch, and shoes that offer a balance of comfort and style.

4. **Consult with the Bride:** Ensure that the bride is involved in the process, as this can help in selecting a dress that is harmonious with her vision of the wedding.

### Dress Styles to Consider
- **A-Line Dresses:** Flattering for most body types, A-line dresses are fitted to the waist and flow outward to the ground.

- **Empire Waist Dresses:** These dresses have a raised waistline that sits just below the bust, ideal for a more graceful, elongated look.

- **Maxi Dresses:** For a more formal wedding, a floor-length maxi dress can be a great choice.

- **Jacket Dresses:** These are perfect for cooler weather or more conservative settings, offering elegance with a bit of coverage.

- **Wrap Dresses:** Wrap dresses adjust to suit different body shapes and are universally flattering.

### Where to Shop
- **Local Boutiques:** Check out local boutiques that specialize in formal wear; they often offer styles that are not found in larger stores.

- **Online Retailers:** Websites like Nordstrom, Macy’s, or specialized bridal sites have extensive collections and often provide customer reviews which can help in making a decision.

- **Designer Brands:** If looking for something unique, designer brands might offer that extra touch of elegance and exclusivity.

- **Custom Made:** For a perfect fit and a unique look, consider having a dress custom made by a professional tailor.

### Final Thoughts
Make sure to start shopping early to allow time for alterations and ensure the best fit possible. It's also important to consider the length of the dress, the season of the wedding, and the specific style that best suits the mother’s personality and body type.
