About

Plus Size Mother of the Bride Dresses here are drawn from the full range rather than a separate, smaller one, so the colours, lengths and labels are the same as everywhere else on the site. Look for fluid sleeves, bodices that smooth through the waist and floor length skirts that photograph well beside the bride, at church ceremonies and garden weddings alike.

Trellis Lane, Adrianna Papell, Tania Olsen and Dressology are all represented, in soft jersey, satin, sequin and beaded styles, across floor length gowns and cocktail shapes. Sizes run AU 4 to AU 30 and most styles are in stock, with a number made to order. You can order a try-on dress and try it at home before you decide on the one.

Plus Size Mother of the Bride Dresses: your questions answered

What do plus size mother of the bride dresses come in?

The same colours, fabrics and lengths as the rest of the range, in AU sizes up to 30. That covers soft jersey, satin, sequin and beaded styles from Trellis Lane, Adrianna Papell, Tania Olsen and Dressology, in floor length gowns and cocktail shapes.

What styles are most flattering for a fuller figure?

Fluid sleeves that skim rather than grip the upper arm, a bodice that shapes through the waist, and a floor length skirt with movement tend to sit best. Soft jersey and satin both drape without adding bulk, while beading draws the eye where you want it.

Are the plus size dresses made to order?

Most styles are in stock, with a number made to order once you choose your size. Made to order simply means the gown is cut for your size rather than pulled from existing stock, so it is worth confirming your measurements before you place the order.

How do I know what size to order?

Compare your bust, waist and hip measurements to the size guide on the style you like rather than relying on the size you usually buy, as occasion wear runs differently to everyday clothes. You can also order a try-on dress and check the fit at home first.
