First, figure out what kind of fabric you like and what kind of fabric looks best on you. Silk, chiffon, and organza are gorgeous fabrics that are ideal for plus-size mother of groom dresses. They will smooth out your shape and make you appear more slender, which is just how you want to look at your son’s wedding.

Then, figure out what color looks best on you. Dark colors are usually better for plus-size women, but you might prefer something brighter, instead. Hopefully you know by this point in your life what colors look good on you and which ones wash you out, so keep that knowledge in mind when you shop. Since it’s a special occasion, you might even want to look into metallic fabrics in gold or silver, which are wonderful for a party dress or long gown and will make you stand out without taking away the attention from the new spouses.

You should also know your size. As you know, women’s clothes do not have standard sizes, so instead, you have to take your measurements and compare it to each designer’s size chart to come up with your size in that designer’s dresses. You’ll need to get measurements of your bust, hips, and waist. It’s usually better to have someone else take these measurements for you, since when people measure themselves, it tends to be less accurate. If you find that you are between sizes, round up since you’ll probably have to have the dress fitted to you anyway, and it’s always easier to take a dress in than to let a dress out.

Before you start shopping, or at the beginning of your shopping expedition, you should figure out what styles look best on your body and which areas you dislike the most and want to hide. If you’re uncomfortable with your arms, you’ll want to find a dress that covers them, or if you hate your stomach, you shouldn’t buy a dress that pulls tight over your middle

If you shop with these things in mind, you’ll find the perfect plus-size mother of the groom dress in no time and be able to enjoy your son’s wedding!
