I will be mum of the bride next August and very excited already!
I'm 5' 7" and chubby -18/20 top and 16 bottom.
As I can't wear heels (bad back) I think full length will be better with flat shoes.
Grooms mum is wearing a red outfit, bridesmaids in plain navy.
Clearly I don't want to look as if I'm trying to be a bridesmaid!
Just now I've ordered one to try on which will give you an idea of the kind of thing I like.

Can you lovely people find me anything else I could try please?
Thank you!

Have a look at t John Lewis an type in "mother of the bride" in the search bar and that comes up with some inspiration for you and a few similar . Filter to size 18/20. Love the Gina baconi wrap dress in sand.

I can't wear heels either but for me I think a longer style need heels rather than the other way round? So I would go midi (cover my knees!) What about a hat, bag and jacket and shoes?

John Lewis are doing personal styling by video call at the moment if you want to talk to someone who knows all their stock and will likely have the lowdown on the upcoming autumn stock too
