How to Choose the Perfect Dress as Mother of the Bride or Groom
✔ Think About Fabric First
Look for fabrics that support and flatter - chiffon for lightness, taffeta for structure, scuba for shape, and satin for shine.
✔ Prioritize Comfort and Confidence
A well-fitting gown that allows movement will help you enjoy every moment. Consider styles with supportive bodices, sleeves, or breathable fabrics.
✔ Tailoring is Key
Off-the-rack sizing is just a starting point. Hemming, adjusting sleeves, or taking in the waist can completely transform your gown - and your confidence.
✔ Accessories Should Enhance, Not Compete
When the gown features beading, feathers, or dramatic sleeves, let it shine. Opt for minimal jewelry and coordinated shoes and clutch for a polished finish.
