Mother of the Bride outfits

Where did your mum's get their outfits from?

My Mum has tried debenhams, house of fraser, john lewis etc but can't see anything that takes her fancy.

I live in Manchester and she's in Warrington so if anyone knows of anywhere in driving distance of those we'll give it a go! I don't think she wants to spend silly money on it.

    Try Ebay!
    Put in "Mother of the Bride" and you will get loads come up. Other suggestions are "Jacques Vert" "Frank Usher" "Ted Baker" "Gina Bacconi" and "Condici".
    and what's more she'll get a £300-£400 suit, dress/jacket for a fraction of the cost!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T
    A Bargain is only a bargain if you need it!

    Unfortunately ebay is out as she needs to be able to try it on. I will suggest BHS but I think she might not feel that it is special enough...and there;s a much higher risk of a guest coming in the same outfit!!

    what about monsoon they have some lovely dresses or wallis, principles
  • I have been reccommended this shop, they have one in Frodsham but I don't know if it is too far.
    This one (even further away unfortunately) has been highly reccommended also.

    Saw this lady at a bridal fair and she had some nice outfits on show.
