21 Black Long Plus Size Mother of the Bride Dresses
Not Matronly but Appropriate
As I said in my last post, when I look for plus size mother of the bride dresses, I tend to avoid the “traditional” wedding attire brands. With some exceptions, 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 an a-hole, but please don’t wear that 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.

Hi! For some reason clicking on the pic doesn’t get you to the retailer like it usually does. Also, I bought the long sleeve twist front dress from Elloqui and it runs very small, 1-2 sizes small.
Hi Regina,
I’m sorry to hear that. I checked my links and they all seem to be working. Was there a specific dress you can’t click on?
What an amazing collection!!!
Thank you!!!
Well, times have changed…it was not that long ago when the Mother of the Bride dresses were any color but not black! The look is slimming, but I would not wear black to my daughter’s wedding. Why has this changed?
You’ll probably have more luck with Part 1 of this post.
My Daughter’s wedding is black tie. Her bridemaids dresses are black. I’m pretty sure mine will be too.
Please help me find a plus-sized MOB gold dress (not beige). It needs to be gold and can be sequined. I prefer modest. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Check out this one. You can always have the sleeves shortened.
And a sleeveless option.
A few more: 1, 2, 3.
Oh and not sure if either of these colors will work.
And lastly a short dress.
Hope one of those work!
Hermosos vestidos, tengo la graduacion de mi hijo y en nuestra ciudad cada egresado entra con su padre o madre, estoy hecha un lio, me quiero hacer algo largo, cómodo y elegante, consejos…
Hi Leonela,
Thank you! How dressy do you need to be? Is the event at night? What size do you need? And where are you located- I want to be sure my recommendation(s) can be shipped to you. Let me know!
