Plus Size Mother of The Bride Dresses
Recently, Kelly, a reader from Ohio wrote in and asked:
“Hey Brianne!
I love your blog and the resources you create. I’m looking for a more flattering plus size mother of the bride dress for my mom. I know “flattering” is relative, but that’s what she has asked for. Where do you go to find mother of the bride dresses or two piece suits?”
When Kelly asked this, I could only really think of 2-3 resources. Defining what a “mother of the bride” dress is tricky, and I didn’t want to make any agist assumptions.
So, with that in mind, here are 5 stores to purchase plus size mother of the bride (or groom!) outfits:

Kiyonna creates lovely plus size gowns that are perfect for weddings, and there are a number of gowns that are a fresh take on “mother of the bride” fashion.
