Just wondered if anyone knew anywhere that my mother can get a nice dress for my wedding. Her budget isn't huge and she small at about 5ft4,so everything looks too long on her. Any tips, much appreciated.

P.s my mother is more than likely giving me away, so it would be nice if it was in blue/silver to go with my theme.

Apart from the main high street stores has your mum looked online at petite ranges? being tiny myself (5ft 1 just) i struggle for the clothes to fit correctly. Some of the stores offer petite ranges (marks and spencers, debs and bhs) Can't think of anywhere else too look, will also depend on how old your mum is. With myself being in my 30's my mum is finding it difficult to find anything age appropriate for our day as she has said she doesn't want to feel like mutton dressed as lamb bless her. Hope this helps a little x

My mums in her early 50's and isn't very girlie. She about a size 16, so struggles with most high street petite ranges as they often come in smaller sizes.

bhs are good and what about monsoon
CommentAuthorMrs Mara Tester
My mum is struggling with this too. She's not really short (5ft 6Ins) She's about a size 12 but she is really not girly. She lives in jeans and t-shirts, she doesn't wear dresses or skirts ever. She's only 42 (43 when we get married) and says that everything seems to be designed for the older woman. Have you thought about online places like, I think it's called, SimplyBe or similar? xx
I can't believe we've actually done it
