My mother is adamant that she doesn't want to wear a dress to my wedding. She hasn't worn a dress in about 20 years. I want to make sure that what she DOES wear will match everyone else's level of formality. (When she feels underdressed, she's almost as uncomfortable as when she wears a dress!) My father will be renting a tuxedo. They might both be walking me down the isle--that part isn't settled yet.
Do you have any advice for where to buy pant suits for mothers? Mine is 5'2" and curvy. She doesn't like to show off her body.
Our wedding is in California in March at midday. The invitations say "semi-formal," because we didn't want anyone coming in jeans. The bridesmaids and I are wearing full length gowns. The groom's mother is still dress shopping.
I would appreciate suggestions of where to buy pant suits (or something not a dress) suitable for semi-formal occasions and available in petite sizing. My mother sews well, so patterns are also helpful!
