If the quest for the immaculate dress can be complicated for the bride, the choice of her outfit when getting ready for the wedding of her children is just as much of challenge. “She will be seen by all the guests, photographed … It is therefore necessary to bet on something she assumes but which, at the same time, will not eclipse the bride”, summarizes fashion connoisseur and blogger Maëlis Jamin-Bizet. It is a real challenge therefore, if we add the small complexes due to morphology or age while choosing the Mother of the Bride Dresses.
A Chic Outfit But In Which We Feel Good
As the blogger recalls, it is therefore essential to opt for a model in which “we feel good”. A small jacket will hide the arms if you do not want to draw attention to them. What about the length, which is so often debated, especially during ceremonies? “The right compromise is a knee length, both in accordance with the event and also with age.”

Indeed, the most important thing is to be comfortable. If we are not used to being in skirts or dresses, we will be able to turn to elegant trousers, a model palazzo for example, or simply to a pantsuit. “Be careful, however, the latter remains a difficult piece that forgives little defects. On the other hand, it is perfect and definitely more practical for the evening, as an alternative to the long dress.”
Beautiful Materials and Harmonious Colors
