Today I give you sixty-six plus size mother of the bride dresses that are chic and stylish but age-appropriate.
And these gorgeous frocks can also work for mothers of the groom too!
66 Plus Size Mother of the Bride Dresses
Appropriate but Not Matronly
When I look for plus size mother of the bride gowns, 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.

Hello-
Love this post! However, I do not think the links are working. Clicked on several dresses throughout the post and I am redirected to just a free standing image with your credits along the edge. Tried several different methods to get to dress info and having no luck.
Thanks! Keep posting!
Hi Tracy,
I’m not having issues. Are you opening in a browser and not within an email?
As it says in the post, the links do not work within an email. You must open the post in a browser.
Are you using a pop-up blocker or ad blocker?
Those can also cause problems.
You should be able to click on any of the dress images for a direct link to their retailer.
If you’re still having issues, please let me know and hopefully I can assist better.
Hello! When I click on the dresses it does not go to a retailer. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you

I wonder if Nordstrom has been hacked. Even since Friday, I haven’t been able to reach their site or Nordstrom Rack either. I could follow your links to Dillards, & Baltic Born just fine.
As a 64 year old, I would think 3 or 4 times before I’d pick a dress with a slit starting 10-inches above the knee. Or at least run it by the boss…the bride should get the final says about such things. After all, it’s her day, not yours. That goes double for glitter. Going to the casino? Great! Attending a 4 pm wedding, just no.
