My top picks of plus size mother of the bride dresses this season.  

These gorgeous frocks can also work for mothers of the groom too!

Appropriate but Not Matronly

When I look for plus size mother of the bride dresses, I tend to avoid the “traditional” wedding attire brands. 

With some exceptions, as things are getting better, I find that most wedding retailers offer matronly styles for mothers of the bride.

There is no reason to attend your child’s wedding looking like you’ve given up on life!

You don’t want to look like you’re wearing a prom dress, but you also don’t want to look like you’ve wrapped yourself in layers of chiffon and are waiting to die following the reception.

I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but please don’t wear this type of dress or suit!

If you’re convinced that you want to wear a suit, try something with a modern cut and some structure.

Or try a jumpsuit like this one or this one.
