Please! Nothing boring...

[Snippysocks]

What can a mother of the bride wear that isn't boring? I don't want a dress and jacket that I'll never wear again. Don't want a jump suit. I'm a 5ft 3, size 10 redhead with a slightly flabby stomach. Orange and yellow and bronze or gold are my favourite colours. Budget up to £200. Help!

You know you could have posted this on Style and Beauty?

🤨

Not sure you'll get many replies in this section and with a non descriptive thread title.

Perhaps hit the report button and ask for it to be moved to Style and Beauty?

Have a look at Wolf& Badger www.wolfandbadger.com/uk/category/women/clothing/dresses/?colour=Gold&colour=Rose+Gold&colour=Yellow+%26+Orange&price_max=250

Or The Outnet is usually good for things that are not standard department store MoB style

Sorry! 1st time doing this and am a complete numbskull! How do I retitle it or move to style and beauty?

Report your original post and ask them to move the thread!

Or just start a new one and post a note here saying so.

These are all fab in my opinion

I have that Dawn O'Porter Joanie dress and whilst it is lovely, it's pretty thin material and would be more suited to a summer barbecue rather than a wedding IMO.

Mustard dress

A few here:

Possibly not orange enough?

Or this?

Orangey bronze.

Gorgeous

Alternatively Me & Em has some wonderful orange items - but you’d have to increase your budget. You could afford this:
Top

Or maybe look for the pieces to rent or pre-owned.

Thank you, everyone, for your replies. They are really helpful in narrowing down my thoughts.
@DrJoanAllenby I love this dress but the yellow isn't yellow enough. I suit warm Spring colours and am tempted by the red but it might make my face disappear!
@StrangeNew I love the red dress, but know from past experience that the style will drown me!
@Absurdgiraffe the colour of the monsoon dress is beautiful but again, the style isn't me.
I think I've decided on a non voluminous, round or a scoop neck dress (not one shouldered)and would still love it in orange, yellow, gold or bronze and will add teal into the mix. Again - thank you so much for your time, everyone!

'I love this dress but the yellow isn't yellow enough. I suit warm Spring colours and am tempted by the red but it might make my face disappear!'

@Snippysocks it comes in lots of different colours including a red!

Is this too boring?

How about this: https://www.sezane.com/en-en/product/seyma-dress/gold?CHEQ&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Hors_Marque&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADROyDINJx_5l4GiTme3YukuphG8i&gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BLV8D5JPBys_p7xkxcTpRQ-0mc0vfFvlNweSJhJMaD302Cmo-Z3noxoCVrQQAvD_BwE#size-6

The bronze dress which I had in mind seems to have gone, but you might see something else here:

@IPartridge ooh! I love it. A statement gold cuff and some Monica Vinada earrings will elevate it? Would gold shoes be too much?

@CountFucula Thank you! However, I've decided that something more fitted would suit me more. But the material is amazing!

@excelledyourself I love the look of some of these dresses! Thank you so much. I'll add Folkster to my list of sites to look at this weekend.

Gold shoes would be perfect - and very easy to find right now, there are loads around.

Some fabulous dresses on Gather and See.

@IPartridge I can't find that lovely dress.... Where's it from? 😊

This one from Karen Millen

Bargain!

But boring …

This isn't boring, and has some yellow in it.
