Mother of groom dress

[Offredismysister]

Is this print nice or is it like a pair of old ladies curtains? If it’s relevant, I’m a fairly young MoG (44) size 10-12 & 5’6 I have long dark hair & will be tanned from holiday. I was thinking hair loose with a cream padded headband.

Completely different option is the black with a black headband or hat. The bride & groom don’t mind me wearing black as they’re not traditional at all.

The green Self Portrait dress is lovely.

Completely off topic but I read this as Mother of gloom dress 🤣

Neither, sorry. The first looks cheap and not formal enough for the occasion. The second is too young.

Dear God, there's some right monstrosities posted on here. The zara ones were truly hideous and wholly unsuitable. And what's with all the foul misogynistic language? Some words on here should be consigned to the bin for goodness sake.

I wore something like this at DS's wedding

Is it wrong that I want one @remuslupinsbiggestgroupie ?! 😁
I'm thinking Morticia Adams meets Coraline's mum 🖤

That's absolutely stunning where was that from?

@LaTangerina Not wrong at all. Just don’t forget your big black buttons.

I was a MOG and I would not have worn either of these dresses. You need to think smarter, incorporating a jacket and a hat, not fascinator.

No - there are really not any rules that say she must wear a jacket and a hat. Those rules are in your head.

The red SP dress is lovely OP!

Sorry OP I don't think either of those dresses is appropriate as MOTG. I'm same age as you, so understand you font want to wear traditional MOTG attire. What about something like this:

Of course Remus.... you have your opinion I have mine.

Jackets at weddings are aging and look like you're going to the office or the races.

Why are they ageing?

They look smart imo

But you didn't present it as an opinion - you presented it as an imperative.

Crafty Gin - beautiful outfit, classy.
That is more my idea of MOG.

I think that's the nicest suggestion so far- there have been some absolute horrors , especially the caped crusader suggestions, but that's beautiful and original.

OP I hope you find something soon. Can I ask why you're focused on black/ dark colours? With your colouring yo

Sorry- you'd look great in a bright colour. My friend covets a brand with bright dresses. I'll find it!

An online shop called JJHouse.

Their dresses are made to measure.
