| All of the dresses that I have found so far have been looking more like grandmother dresses. I am only 45 and do not want to look like an old lady or a bridesmaid. The bride's mom is older by at least 10 years--She is wearing a light green dress and the stepmom is wearing a peach dress. It is a very casual wedding..The maid of honor is wearing blue and the flower girls are wearing pink. Any suggestions??***Thank you everyone! You all had some great suggestions and so very helpful with the web sites. I got some great ideas! |

| Maybe a long dress with a wrap? What color do you like that looks good on you? I would go with that. Best of luck! |

| Try looking at Fred Meyer, or somewhere at the mall, where she can get a nice blouse with a flowing skirt. My mom got her's from Fred Meyer, it's just a white shirt and a black and white skirt that goes down to a few inches from her ankles. |

Just take your FDIL (lol) shopping for a day... Maybe she can help you find something you really like. If all else fails, go with a knee length skirt with a floral pattern and a shirt and lightweight jacket. It doesn't have to be a dress  Good luck |

| Try finding a flowy skirt... say about just a little longer then your knees. This will also break up your body into sections and make you look taller.... and def. not like a grandma. |

| Hi. Yes, I know what you mean. I was only 43 when my daughter was married.I like a lot of these ones from Chadwicks. I don't know if you want long or short (I am assuming short since it's casual), but this site has lots of options.Good luck in your search!http://www.chadwicks.com/Womens-Special-Occasion.aspx?DeptId=8219&Page=1&12PerPage=true |

| I came across this dress (please click on link below) that I think would be just perfect for you for the occasion, but you would need a jacket, a stole, or a shawl to go with it.The dress is also available in a size 14 (you have to move the size arrow to go to 14). |

| Help is here!! You already have some great answers and I just want to give you a few more options to consider. I work in a Bridal shop and work with Mothers everyday. This is what I do.... with out having much information about the venue or your taste this is just a few of the options I suggest for you. http://www.moncheribridals.com/CollectionHome.aspx?cname=MontageStyle Number: 18927 http://www.daymor.com/frame_recent1024x768.htmStyle Number: 5060 or 3451 You can choose to order the dress in different colors and I would suggest a light color to go with the theme of the wedding but not a color that someone else is wearing. |
