Mother of the Bride Dresses – A Selection

 

One of the major issues before mothers of brides is what to wear on their daughters’ great day. Traditionally, the choice has always been to wear age-appropriate dresses in light pastel colors. However, today, fashion-conscious women are setting new trends by experimenting with formal dresses that add to their glam quotient.

Conventionally, the mother of the bride gets to make a choice first and the mother of the groom selects her accordingly. So make a quick decision well before the wedding to keep adequate time for fittings and alterations.



If you are looking for formal mother of the bride dresses, you will be spoilt for choice. Here are a few options for you.

Gowns

There is nothing better than gowns for a formal look. The norm has always been to wear gowns for a dignified appearance matching the occasion. Have the gown stitched from soft materials that will not restrict your movements throughout the day. If there are unflattering curves around the tummy or upper arms, ensure that there is a strip of lace or muslin over the areas. It will also add a lot to the style and glamour. Do not choose a color that matches your daughter’s dress as she should have an exclusive appearance about her.

Dresses with jackets

Wearing bolero jackets over formal mother of the bride dresses is the latest trend. While the jackets can be very expensive, wearing one over your dress or gown will make for a unique look. Choose a fashionable short-sleeved jacket embedded with beads or crystal or one with fine embroidery all over.

Try these possibilities out to be the toast of your daughter’s wedding.

Since then, bolero jackets have been the trendiest clothing for women around the world. A bolero jacket is an all-weather outfit. The lace ones are ideal for summer while the heavier brocade or velvet ones help keep out the winter chill. Further, a bolero jacket with flowery patterns can be worn for informal outings with friends while the classier and more expensive ones are ideal for formal evening wear for parties or a dinner date. However, a plus size bolero jacket   is a blessing in disguise for heavier women. Generally, it is seen that fat accumulates in plumper women around the upper arms and the mid-riff. With a half or full-sleeved bolero, the upper arms are covered and you can wear your sleeveless dresses in summer and step out in style. Addi...

Women’s fashion – Basics of dressing casually

Every season, you spend a fair share of your money to refresh your wardrobe.

But the cardigan has not been a fashion icon since the 90s when it was worn in a disheveled scruffy way – plus sizes draped over dresses and jeans. But now, cardigans are back on the catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world, thanks to influencers like Gucci, Prada, and Christopher Lane. Plus size cardigans and shrugs have been an integral part of Gucci’s minimalist aesthetic designs over the past few seasons, worn over midi-length skirts.
