It’s your big day and your mum will definitely want to look good on your wedding day.
Yes, we all will have the worry of what our mother will be wearing and this is why, you need to get involved, assisting her to shop around to find her the perfect dress. Moreover, it’s great to have some mother and daughter bonding when both of you do the shopping together isn’t it?
Your opinion counts as you know what type of dress, materials or colour suits her the best. Furthermore, women over 50 has all type of body shape and not all design and style are suitable for your mum. This is a great challenge especially for plus size mum and that is the reason why I created this post to help you and your mum to search for the perfect wedding dress.
Top 3 concerns your mum are thinking of when looking for the perfect mother of bride dress singapore:
1. Sleeve Length:
If your mum wears plus size clothing, she may want to have her arm being covered. Meaning she will often look at half length sleeve dresses rather than sleeveless dress. Suggest to her that she can always buy a shawl to cover her arm even when wearing sleeveless, so let her have a open choices for sleeveless dress as well. Furthermore, having a shawl makes her look more elegant too.
2. Dress Length:
Not all asian are tall, so the long dress that your mum is eyeing at is probably out of the question and she might tell you that she do not want to mop the floor with her dress instead. One way to resolve this is to alter the length at the tailorshop instead, it’s just that simple.
3. Traditions:
The Chinese traditions prefer red or pink which symbolized good luck, this means that black or white is big-no-no to your mum. If she wears plus size clothing, she will probably be thinking of choosing a maroon colour dress instead. She just want to avoid bright red and lighter shade of red (Pink) as she thinks that it will make her look bigger. However, we all know that the design of the dress plays an important role to slim down a figure, so make sure she is open to try any dress to find the perfect dress instead.
Okay, here’s 20 awesome mother of bride dress shops you can find in Singapore, both online and at the shopping mall.
