82 Year Old Mother Of The Bride!!
25 Answers
Please help me with what to wear for my 55 year old daughter's second white wedding, I have bought a pale pink jacket and a pink flowered skirt and it looks so wrong I feel sick. I am quite happy to buy another outfit but I have been on all the web sites and cannot see anything suitable at all, and please don't tell me to ask for a personal shopper in store because I would be too embarrassed. I am 5'2 pear shaped and short waisted.

Thank you all for suggestions dress and jacket was my first port of call however pear shaped does come with a rather rotund tummy and shift dresses just do not flatter this. I have tried so many on and they just look awful and especially with a short jacket like the last post. Think I really need maternity wear ha ha ha. Was also wondering if maybe I should go for a darker colour and do any of you need or wear bodycon undies and if so which sort would help my big tummy, oh dear depresses me even talking about it and I would love to enjoy her special day.
Rather than anything too fitted and holding you in or being uncomfy with control garments, go more loose and floaty.

Your body is beautiful to the people who love you.
Try taking your daughter or a good friend with you and actually hit the high street rather than relying on the internet. You can try things on and have a giggle while you're at it. Make a day of it, have lunch and mooch around the shops.
It may just be an accessory to go with your current outfit that will make it sing for you. or you could realise that actually, the outfit you already have was really nice all along.
I think a prom dress looks nice on a pear shape. Fitted in the body and then flaring out from the waist. Knee length is my preference but about an inch above the knee for you because I'm taller.
This should be an exciting day. Please don't let your perceptions of your body spoil it. The people who matter and who love you think you are a stunner!

Thank you all for your suggestions it is so hard to find something fitting for my age as well as my shape. Think you're right about the bodycon, years ago my mother in law used to start out in a corselette and after a couple of hours would disappear into the toilet and come out smiling saying it's in my handbag now I can enjoy myself lol. I will let you know if I find anything
