Hi, my daughter is getting married in 2 months and i can't find a suitable dress to wear. I'm a size 18 and like a dress with sleeves. Any ideas of where i can find a nice dress please.

I bought from Chesca online for my son’s wedding, as I was ‘ a bit more padded’ then, certainly not cheap but I felt really great and had many compliments.

sanders hasn't given any clues as to the sort of edding or thing she likes or her shape.

I Just don't feel "me" in the structured "mother of the bride" outfits for example. Some makes don't fit me properly (e.g. Monsoon), and some things won't work for certain types of wedding.

Without a budget, or any idea of style, difficult to suggest something suitable, but I would also recommend eBay. Just bought an amazing once worn Hobbs silk red white and navy dress with plain navy cropped silk jacket for £40!

Iam a size 18 and I got a lovely flattering dress from phase eight. It wasn’t a typical mother of the bride dress as thats just not me. The staff in the shop were wonderful they found me a matching hat, bag,and pashmina, everything matched and was reasonably priced.
Shoes from Mand S.Hope you find just what you are looking for
