Non traditional mother of the bride

[haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday]

I’m 56, size 12 and 5ft 8”. My beautiful daughter is getting married in May and I’m really struggling on what to wear! I think I want a maxi dress, I have nice arms and back but definitely don’t want anything traditional!
I’m looking for possibly something in pink (bridesmaids in deep claret, men in navy suits), but preferably not one block colour, I think a pattern would work.
Budget £200. Please help!

I’m unsure if any of these hit the mark

Maybe this might eventually reach the sale, or be available pre-owned:

At 5 foot 8 this will look stunning! But yes yes over budget and block colour sorry 😂

How about these? I’m afraid I’d not rate any of yours as MOB, you’re allowed to be fabulous!!

https://www.anthropologie.com/en-gb/shop/mare-mare-chiffon-ruffle-scoop-neck-maxi-slip-dress - little over budget but could search for a discount code to make it nearer £200

In fact Omnes have a lot of pink dresses within budget
