Tips on Selecting Mother of the Bride Dresses

 

There is no specific dress code when selecting the mother of the bride dresses. You can wear gowns, short or long outfits, and anything formal or informal provided you adhere to the theme of the wedding. But you should not wear anything so glamorous that you over-shadow your daughter. It is her great day and she should be in the limelight.

Even though you may wear whatever takes your fancy, there are certain considerations to be taken care of, especially if you are on the heavier side.



First, wear a short or long-sleeved dress by all means but ensure that the upper arms are covered. Short-sleeved plus size mother of the bride dresses will expose this area and it might look awkward as fat is usually most noticeable here. To get around this problem, wear a jacket that covers the arm while perfectly complementing your dress. Top-of-the-line jackets are available in all colors and have fine embroidery or bead work on them. It will give you an exclusive and classy look.

Do not buy the jacket of the same color as the dress as the two cannot be differentiated from a distance. Instead, buy the jacket and dress of colors that match each other, cream and brown for example. Ensure that the colors are not the same as the dress of your daughter or the bridesmaids. You should not be a competitor to them in any way.

You should select from plus size mother of the bride dresses from specialized wedding boutique stores. They are experts in this field and will help you make a good choice of an outfit and a jacket.
