Mother of bride wedding outfit suggestions? (1 Viewer)

[Jac Sprat]

Wonder if anyone has any recommendations? Don't like these pencil styles.
Not too keen on the stock at Debenhams John Lewis House of Frazer (am in norwich but happy to do mail order)
No silly answers please boys
I'm in a hurry haha
Gotta sort it before we go off Motorhoming again then back for the wedding in august.

My wife wore mini mouse ears to our future daughter in laws hen night last night! They'd look great with any outfit!

 

[Jac Sprat]

Yeh maybe for a hen but not in the framed wedding photos

I can't think of any other shops in Norwich that would have anything suitable, other than BHS, but that's a no go now.
Marks and Spencer?
Have you tried all the individual departments in House of Fraser?

 

[Lisa]

What about a bridal shop, they also have MOB outfits….

Depends on your budget, Jacques Vert have a mother of bride section on their website, a sale on & a discount for first order. I'll look for some more in a bit.

If you Google mother of the bride outfits, loads come up. Have you thought about booking a consultation in Debenhams & I think m&s do it too. I did in Debenhams & it was really useful, she brought outfits I'd never thought of trying on & I ended up with something I was really happy with.

Mrs D went to Plymouth on Thursday & was very underwhelmed with all of the above, (Mother of the groom)

Yes because people here are very helpful whatever the subject and the ladies know what a drag it is to have to spend time on this when they're waiting to get away in the moho
Thana for the suggestions. Yes I might think about wedding advisory lady. I presume I'm not obliged to but if I do that?

No I didn't get as far as house of Frazer as I was tired and dispirited by then haha. I'm a size 18-20 and lots were only in smaller sizes.
I have looked at them on line and will go back again. Thanks

Have you looked in dress shop in drayton they have sizes from 14 - 32 seen some nice things in window might be worth a try.

 

[Jac Sprat]

We will be travelling through Holland Germany and Denmark before the wedding
I wonder if I should just try there ?
Maybe I will have more luck with shoes as I'm a wide size 9 and am determined to wear little heels for this thing. (But I have to walk up and do a reading in the church and don't want to stumble

 

[reckless]

Don't know how you feel about this, especially in view of the occasion, but sometimes if you're lucky you can pick up decent quality designer clothes in charity shops. You don't have to say where you got it!

I donated my MOG Jaques Vert dress, cost me £90 and worn once.Yesterday I spotted some very fancy Monsoon dresses.

Some of them, poss BHF, sell a range of new fascinators. I got a lovely one for about £7 for my son's wedding, received many comments.

It was a dream living in America and the choice of big shoes for big gals.

 

[DavidG58]

I got really fed up with Bev stressing about what to wear, took her to Jaques Vert, not cheap but sorted, I did refuse the hat that the girl was doing her best to add to the set, suit was about £200, hat would have been another £120

 

[Jac Sprat]

I did go to the norwich big C shop which advertised wedding outfits but they were ridiculously disorganised sadly i
Id much rather my money went to charity

My MiL should of dressed as darth vader or attila the hun. at least it would give a clue to the next 25 years. even now she is causing family agro from beyond the grave

 

[mitzimad]

diane is having the same problemmade even worse because she was MOG last year and now shes MOB she want something better

 

[Hollyberry]

How about a dressmaker?
Thinking A line, slim dress with jacket or "duster coat" type long jacket over?
You can then choose exact colours you want.

Good idea
Which one though and where to start?

 

[jockaneezer]

Val says try Ulla Popken if you're in Germany, though they do have a website, decent quality with a European flair.

 

[Ali n Tim]

Have you tried Phase Eight? They do larger sizes and not all pencil style
