Mother of the bride dresses

AmyBee, 3 November, 2021 at 12:57 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 2
Hi everyone, my mum is really struggling to find a beautiful dress that will fit her shape, and be suitable for packing in a suitcase. (We're having a Greek-lish wedding in June 2022)


She's in her 60s, and is quite short and a size 16/18. She doesn't want a lot of cover on her shoulders and back because Corfu can get quite hot in June but she wants to be able to have a small shawl just in case it's not that warm either.
We are really struggling to find something from a reputable retailer. Everything she likes is from JJs and I have been doing my digging - When things go bad, they go very bad, and people havent been getting refunds if its wrong. I suspect its also shipped in from China which doesnt feel right to me when they say they are a UK retailer.
Where can mothers of the bride / groom buy really beautiful dresses, that arent too "old" but arent too bridesmaid-y either. If you can recommend some trusted UK retailers that would be so so helpful. Or if you know more about JJs and think they can be trusted, I'd really like to hear because we are going in circules and I'd hate for my mum to feel stressed out. Thank you all! Smiley heart

    I know several people who have bought from JJ's house and the quality is good. They used to be quite painful when it was the made to measure stuff as it was direct from China, but I think now they do the off the peg sizes they hold stock here as my friends have received their items really quickly and they are good. Only other places would be traditional high street outlets like M&S, John Lewis or lock online for other outlets but may be online only
