Help Mother of the bride but don't want a mother of the bride outfit

[Nanatokidsdogshampsters]

DD is marrying for the second time in June.
Dress code is smart casual. She doesn't want anyone to spend lots of money
it's a registry office wedding then back to a social club.

I'm 63, Blonde, 5ft 1, size 18 and carry lots of weight on my tummy.
Had breast cancer so I'm lopsided on my left boob.
Would like a short sleeve, knee length dress.
I like darker pinks, red, orange, lighter green and light blue.
Budget is anything up to £300 that's to include shoes and bag.
Might wear a fascinator. Only saying that much as I'm out of touch
on how expensive dresses are.

I normally wear jeans and tops. Her first wedding I wore a proper
Mother of the bride outfit with hat etc.

I really like that. I'm 4' 11" and size 14 and need a mother of groom outfit next spring.
This is giving me lots of ideas. Bold prints and anything really loose drown me. I'd a tees and jeans person like the op.
Let us know what you end up with.

Hi, there are 2 online boutiques who have lots of dresses that are reasonable prices but look amazing on, especially with a fascinator, nice bags and shoes.
Hope you enjoy the wedding 💒 💕

These are really flattering. I bought a velvet green one last year. Looked fab, i have a tummy too after kids, but felt confident due to the shape and draping.

All gorgeous

Do you have any dressmakers nearby that could make something for you? When my DS married last year, I knew what I wanted but knew it wouldn't be something I could find off the peg. Someone recommended a dressmaker who worked with me to make exactly what I wanted. It was perfect - colour, style and accessories were very 'me'. It the entire outfit, including a custom - made bag and fascinator actually cost less than a similar, but not quite right outfit from a store. And I would have then had to find a bag and headwear as well.
