Mother of groom dress

[cheapskatemum]

Please help me find a dress to wear to DS1’s wedding. I’ve looked in person & online and nothing quite fits my spec. which is:

not white or cream, for obvious reasons
I’m a winter, colour-wise
I’m 5’5”, size 10, hourglass shape, toned
I prefer red/pink/mauve to blue/green, but this isn’t a deal breaker
summer wedding so short sleeved or sleeveless
not high necked
defined waist
prefer midi length, but would consider shorter or longer
I like floral patterns
no pleated skirts
no sequins or glitter
price: up to £300

I know some of you are really good at this and look forward to your suggestions!

Have you looked at Nobody’s Child and Silkfred? They have some nice options

I'm currently liking this but you might feel it's too relaxed? It's silk crepe de chine. They say the model's 5'9" so the dress shouldn't be insanely short on you.
£125 in sale.

This one's more traditionally wedding-y. Also silk, not in sale, £325.
Available in different colourways.

Not floral but distinct:

Some suggestions from Wolf & Badger , more plain than floral but a nice silhouette, especially the one-shoulder one

Hi, sorry I’m also watching the football. I can’t get past the pop up asking me to open an account with Rixxo, but I think the first one has long sleeves? I like the second Rixxo one, but when I try to look at it in a different colour I get the same problem with the pop up. I guess I’ll have to open an account.

The pink dress is too plain.

I like the last one, but would prefer a lighter background colour, as dark colours absorb heat. I don’t know it’s going to be hot, but would rather put a wrap or jacket on top to keep warm than sweat because I’m too hot - particularly because it’s my face that sweats most!

My sister was recently MoG. She booked a personal shopper appointment at John Lewis and came away with the most perfect outfit. Something she’d never have chosen for herself.

Cross posted with the Wolf & Badger ones. I have been looking at their styles. I agree about the one shouldered one, I’ll look at it on their website. Also the wine coloured one. The first two have highish necklines.

Thanks for that suggestion @MrsPlantagenet, I’m going to John Lewis on Wednesday to pick up the present for DN’s wedding, so I could make a future appointment when I’m there.

Sorry about Rixo, they make you submit your email address for some reason. You aren't opening an account.

This one's lovely, I think, though over budget at £365.
