When you’re girlfriends are stating to look for that perfect mother of the bride pant suit you know you’re starting to get older! Well for me it’s been happening a lot lately, great for me as it means I’m looking for dresses to wear to a wedding as a guest! Now ok a lot of my friends are looking for mother of the bride gowns and mother of the bride suits, but it really surprised me just how many are having real trouble finding a really great formal pant suit. You’d think it would be easy these days, but no all that seems to be out there are really pant suits for career girls, or way too out there fashion suits for teeny boppers!

My first recommendation for shopping for mother of the bride pant suits is Roman’s, a real favorite of mine as many of you will know. Roman’s only cater for those of us size 12W and above, so you really know the cut on all their outfits is going to fit perfectly every time. But what I really love about is their sheer style! Roman’s to me are always right up there with the very latest styles, beautifully adapted for an older customer, give their site a go ladies, I promise you wont be disappointed, just click on their banner below to pay them a visit.

The pant suit has really found it’s mark with mothers at weddings over the last few years. For years mother of the bride gowns have always been seen as the right thing to wear at weddings, but in this modern age so many of us are so much happier in pants, and so why can’t we make more use of the formal pant suit? For many of us we just don’t feel comfortable in skirts anymore, and so the pant suit has really come into it’s own for those of us a little older.

And so I decided to do my bit and do an article on my advice for mother of the bride pant suits, where to find them, what to look for and most importantly taking on that task of admitting that for most of us we’re really looking for plus size mother of the bride pant suits. On this page I have given brief details of 4 of my top online sites for mother of the bride pant suits, there others I like online, but I really feel the very best online at this time are here on this page.

Mother of the bride pant suits from Bedford Fair

Now a real surprise for many is Bedford Fair, I often recommend them as I love the quality, price and service, but most of us think of them as a great place for a more casual look, not for great formal wear. Well here you can see just a small selection of the great mother of the bride pant suits they have on their site. Pay them a visit and you, like me’ will be amazed at the choice they have, and ladies just look at the prices!

First and foremost we should clearly see that we can’t just search for ‘pant suits’ online, all this will produce is a great many pant suits aimed at a much younger buying public, no we must add the age factor into the mix. This way we are going to cut out all the pant suits say for work, or even all those in sweatshirt material designed for exercise. And so the online stores we should really look at are those who manly deal with customers within our age group, as the ones here all do. We all know what happens when we try to shop in the same stores as our daughters, we end up feeling that just about everything is way too young for us. I recently had a girlfriend who had allowed her daughter to convince her that a new outfit was just perfect, and that at her ‘age’ she could carry it off, where have we all heard that one before. Well all my friends daughter achieved was to have her mother feel uncomfortable all evening at a family function. If you don’t feel great in a new outfit it’s really a crying shame.

When you’re thinking of classy women’s suits you’ve got to think of Womensuits.com, a really fantastic online store. Now it’s really worth paying them a visit, they don’t have a massive selection of women’s pant suits, but what they do have are wonderful! Give them a visit

Next although when looking for mother of the bride pant suits we are indeed looking for a ‘formal’ look, that mean a lot of different things to all of us, and this one of the main reasons I love the fashion industry so much, diversity! And so although all of the companies I recommend here are indeed offering formal pant suits, they deliver all completely different solutions to that question. So I hope I have indeed offered here something for everyone. For many when we say ‘wedding’ we see the bride in white and here church bells, but these days weddings are all so different, and so you really need to understand that there are degrees of formal. Many of the mother of the bride pant suits you see here are just perfect for a big white wedding, but I have also tried to include many that will be just at home at a lovely informal affair.

Mother of the bride pant suits from Blair

OK so I’ve supplied you with 3 great shops to look for mother of the bride pant suits, now I have a completely different shop, Blair.com. Like Bedford Fair they really are best known for practical everyday clothes and outfits, but just look at the small selection I shown here. Completely different from Roman’s or Womensuit.com, but as I say it would be a sad world if we all dressed the same, and they also offer great fashion and a real discount price, after all the weddings costing enough as it is!

And then there is the question of size, for so many of us we really don’t fit in to the whole younger sizes any more, now for me I’m quite happy to say I’m plus size, I never have had a problem with my size, but I know many out there do have problems. Now the reason I’m bringing this up in an article about mother of the bride pant suits is that I know that for any outfit to look great the cut must work, and the trouble is that when a designer is simply scaling up a size ‘0’ outfit they never take in to account that also our shape changes. And so the online stores I have recommended here all sale pant suits that from day one were designed for our frame, most indeed only supply from size 12W up. Trust me ladies the cut will always be better.
