Trish, how comforting! I will try Jacques Vert – funnily enough I hadn’t thought of that, although I last time I had to find a pretty outfit for some family celebrations I ended up getting two there!
I am in my 70’s, 5′ 3 and size12, so very far wide of the (anorexic teenage model) mark on all counts! But all the same I want to appropriately stylish and not frumpy.
Perhaps we ought to offer ourselves as models for the ‘mother of the bride/groom’ sites!!!

I have commented on this site about exactly the same problem of finding a nice outfit for sons wedding recently, looking on websites I totally agree with you , that the models are just not age appropriate or size for that matter, most where stick thin 30 something models,
If you are the Mother of the bride/groom we will be at least in our 40’s/50’s , some will be slim some not , but the clothes were suitable for expensive society weddings in my opinion, I just couldn’t relate to anything on there,
Eventually my darling daughter took me in hand to Jaqcues Vert shop in our local outlet centre where I got everything hat,jacket, dress, bag, shoes in navy and dusky pink and felt fabulous and got lots of genuine compliments on the day , and it didn’t break the bank either,
Good Luck with your search, you will look fabulous whatever because your happiness and love for your son will shine through and show on your face,
Best Wishes. Trish x

Chris, that sounds like a very good idea. Maybe I can book a consultation, if we’re able to see you next month? Or maybe even by telephone before…
