Mother of b and g wear pants, no dresses, help?

Tara, on January 25, 2018 at 5:43 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

My mother and FH's mom's are 73 and 88. They don't wear dresses. Has anyone found evening-wear pants suits? Alas, its not helping me that both are petite. I've looked at two bridal shops and online, I see few choices.

    Boscov's or a similar department store might be worth checking out.

    My mom actually found a beautiful dressy pantsuit at Nordstrom’s ( she even found it on sale ) and she loves it.

    Eshakti has pants mostly in black. You have to weed through some that are obviously for a younger person. The good news is that you can customize them entirely to your measurements for $10. I've ordered 2 dresses from them and they were spot on which is wonderful when you are plus size. If you sign up for a new account it's $25 off and free shipping. And everything has POCKETS!

    Check out Tahari. They make beautiful suits, including petite sizes, and some would work for an evening look. https://www.tahariasl.com/categories/petite-suit

    I saw some at David's bridal. My mom isn't sure which she'd prefer so I was looking around. Although she isn't petite. They were nice and formal.

    You can find really nice pant suits at Macy’s and Nordstrom’s. And it can also be tailored since they are petite. Smiley smile

    My sister is wearing a suit. We went to the same shop (BachRach) that did my Groom and groomsmen outfits, and they tailored a suit for her figure. It's super flattering and inexpensive.

    So much easier that way, because department stores were too business-y looking and bridal shops just don't carry things like that.

    My mother got hers from David's Bridal. It's beautiful! And she said it is very comfortable.

    Check out Macy*s and Nordstrom. My mom will also be wearing a pantsuit- just her preference. Unfortunately all the ones I liked on Pinterest didn't link to anywhere!

    Not sure where you live, but check Nordstrom, Dillards, Macy's, Belk. If you live in the South East I know that Belk ususally has a very good selection of more formal wear.

    Ursula is great (FMIL got her dress for our wedding and FBIL's wedding from this designer)

    Any department store will have what you're looking for. Basically "classic" MOB attire.

    I wore palazzo pants and a satin top to my oldest daughter's wedding. Both purchased at Dress Barn.
