My cousin, who’s daughter got married about a year ago wore something like the dress on the right in this picture My cousin is tall and about 60 lbs. overweight and this style of dress made her look marvelous.
Something like this would also look great.
I really like this dress too.
Here is one that is a little more daring, color-wise and is a little bit more bohemian, but I like it a lot.
And so far this dress is my favorite one. You have to scroll down about halfway through the page to see the cream colored dress. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
So you should have a look at some dresses that you think you like, then take some of the pictures with you to the stores where you think you will be shopping and ask the sales clerks to help you out.
You want to choose a dress that is flattering to your figure, not too tight and not too revealing of your cleavage. Not too short, but it doesn’t have to be a floor length dress, either. I would avoid going strapless (even if you have pretty arms and bosoms) so as not to draw attention to yourself and away from your daughter. Don’t wear white, as it will compete with your daughter’s dress. Black can be OK for most guests, but it would be nicer for the Mother of the Bride to wear a color that either complements the bridesmaid’s dresses, or simply fits your personality without going overboard (don’t choose lime green, bright coral orange) but a muted fuschia, blue, pink, cream, camel, taupe, burgundy, forest green or navy would be great. What is your favorite color? Try to go with that.
Most of the time a corsage will be presented to you, so make sure you have enough fabric covereing your chest area to attach a corsage. Often, the mother will wear a matching hat, but that is not necessary. If it’s outside, you might want to wear a hat.
Have fun! And congratulations : )
