Okay, so, my son’s getting hitched this fall, and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect dress. You know, something that makes me feel good but also fits the whole “mother of the groom” vibe. And, let me tell you, finding plus-size dresses that are stylish and suitable for the season has been quite the journey!
First off, I hit up all the usual department stores. I spent hours browsing, trying on this and that. I even went to Macy’s, which had a pretty decent selection. I saw this one Adrianna Papell dress, all sequins and glam, priced at around $189. It was tempting, but I wasn’t sure if it was really “me,” you know?
Then, I started diving into online stores. I found this website called okdais, which is long chiffon. They had a two-piece set, a dress and a jacket. That sounded practical, especially with the unpredictable fall weather. It was priced at like, $91.98, which seemed reasonable. I also checked out a few other online shops, just to compare. And there’s this other place, Ever-Pretty, they’ve got a bunch of plus-size options too, mostly around $85-$92 range, and free shipping! Sweet deal, right?
Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I started reading articles about plus-size mother-of-the-groom dresses. I stumbled upon some suggestions from Mon Cheri brands, Ivonne D and Cameron Blake. They seem to specialize in this kind of stuff. Apparently, A-line dresses, ball gowns, and empire waist dresses are popular choices for us curvy ladies. Good to know! A-line is supposed to be flattering, and empire waist, well, it sounds comfy and flowy.
I also learned that while classic colors like navy and burgundy are safe bets, I shouldn’t feel limited. Fall is all about those gorgeous colors like rust orange and mustard yellow. One article even suggested jewel tones. But the most important thing, they said, is to find something I feel confident and fabulous in. That’s the key!
My Takeaways
-
Lots of Options: There are actually more options out there than I initially thought, both in stores and online.
-
Style Matters: A-line and empire waist dresses are worth considering. They seem to be popular for plus-size figures.
-
Color Play: Don’t be afraid to experiment with fall colors. It’s not just about navy and black.

Comfort is Queen: At the end of the day, it’s about feeling good and confident.
I still have not bought my dress, but I am going to try several dresses from Ever-Pretty. I’ll keep you all posted on my dress journey! Wish me luck!
