Are you looking for ideas or do you have something in mind but can't find it?

How about a body con dress in bright colours, florals maybe.

Jarrolds do a great range in their concessions, not sure if in your area but they do on line too

Roman originals and coast do some lovely dresses in that colour. I would say they’re very mother of the bride styles x

Blink you're leaving it late aren't you. I presume you've tried the usual Coast etc

Book in for a personal shopper at a decent department store. Let them take the strain.

Have you looked in Jaques Vert? Some of their items can be a little frumpy but some of it's nice and often neutral colours too.

There is also a nice Champagne dress on Elsie's Attic.

Ask your son to do a naked themed wedding, that would save you from this hassle

I'm sat in House of Fraiser (or is that Frazer?? I can't see all the sign from here) waiting for my sister to choose a dress for my Nephews wedding. I think I'm the only brother here but plenty of men sat around looking like they've lost the will to live.

So as I'm here it's all I can recommend but I'm a bloke

My niece is getting married in a week and her Mum only got her dress last weekend! Good luck in finding what you want.

Try a bridal shop? They usually have a catologue of outfits for mother of the groom

Check out Gina bacconi at John Lewis too

Thats alway's an amusing sight seeing all the men looking vacant whilst they wait...and wait.

Always the case isn't it? When you're looking for something specific you can never find it!! How exciting though, I love a good wedding.

I would say Coast also but I expect you've already been in there.

I second the idea of personal shopper at a decent department store like John Lewis. We did that at an independent department store locally for my Mum and the personal shopper got my Mum into a style of dress she would NEVER normally wear and looked amazing. Good luck. x

Ok a bloke butting in again

But

have you spoken to any other ladies that are attending? Only asking as I've been to wedding and seen the mother of the groom and bride in almost identical dresses. You probably have already but seen a lot of the suggestions are off the peg

Someone has suggested getting a dress made- that's not as expensive as you might think

Yes I already know what the mother of the bride is wearing and I,ll be wearing nothing like that

Trouble is.....I hate frumpy age related stuff

I want something classy midi length but quite sexy

If that makes sense

I’m still looking

Not really a lot of time to be having one made I do t think
