Mother of the Bride Dresses 

As the mother of the bride or groom, you are going to play an important role in your daughter or son’s big day. Among all the photos being taken on the big day, you will want a dress that shows off your beautiful curves....Chesca Direct is the answer to your problem! Our exciting and extensive range of plus size mother of the bride dresses include classic floral, flattering maxis, and beaded delights. Whether you are looking for all-over beads, 40s chic, chiffon or silk, Chesca Direct has something for you to ensure you can smile looking back at wedding photos for years to come....

Skirts

Although many plus size mother of the brides opt for long, flowing dresses, there is nothing to say that they would not look great in a plus size skirt. Chesca cater to everyone’s needs, stocking plus size skirts which help you show off your curves whilst remaining formal. Our Luxury Designer Plus Size Skirts can give you confidence as you greet your guests, and look even better when complemented with a choice from our selection of plus size tops.

Shrugs and Cover Ups

If your daughter or son is having an outdoor wedding, you might choose to grab a complementary shrug to match your outfit. Our collection of shrugs and cover ups are designed for plus size women and offer beautiful patterns and colours that allow the mother of the bride to shine too. We use an elaborate variety of fabrics and colours as seen with our hugely popular Royal Border Lace Crush Pleat Shrug...

Jackets and Coats

We design our coats to work with our dresses and blouses, helping you to stay colour-coordinated all day long. Our collection of beautiful mother of the bride jackets and coats keep you stylish and warm during those outdoor receptions. Our Luxury Designer Plus Size Women's Jackets and Coats collection boast sophisticated detail at reasonable price point...

Wraps and Scarves

A shawl or a scarf can give you an option for a fashion accessory during the day, or give you much-needed warmth as the weather turns in the evening!

Our selection of women's wraps and scarves offer designer quality to suit our other apparel for the mother of the bride. The light blue or pink printed scarf can suit dresses of either colour, or could be worn to add colour to a plainer dress. For navy and darker plus size dresses, our navy or black chiffon and sequin scarves add glamour to help you sparkle!

Finding a Colour that Feels Like You

Picking a colour is often the first decision, and it sets the mood for your whole outfit. Plenty of mothers of the bride reach for navy, cobalt or pewter for a classic finish, while pinks, corals and violetta shades bring a softer, warmer feel to the day.

Have a quick chat with the couple about their colour scheme first, then choose a mother of the bride dress that sits beside it nicely rather than matching it exactly. That way you look part of the celebration without blending into the bridal party.

If you are the mother of the groom, the same thinking works well. A gentle word with the other mother saves any surprises and means you both feel happy and comfortable in your choices.

A Fit that Feels Right All Day

A wedding is a long day on your feet, so comfort matters just as much as how a dress looks. Every dress in our plus size mother of the bride range is fitted in house by our founder Jacqui Green, who checks the bust, waist, hips and arm room so nothing pulls or pinches.

Our mother of the bride dresses come in UK sizes 12 to 26, with generous cuts and soft linings that move with you. Angel sleeves and cowl necklines give gentle coverage across the arms and neckline, which many of our customers tell us they love.

That means you can hug your guests, sit comfortably through the meal and enjoy the dancing in the evening without a single worry about your outfit.

Ordering with Confidence

Buying an occasion dress online can feel like a leap, so we do our best to make it simple. Take a look at our size guide before you order, and remember our golden rule: you can always shorten a dress but you can never lengthen it, so order for your fuller measurement.

We offer free UK mainland delivery on orders over £150 and free returns on orders over £300, with most parcels sent out within 24 hours. If you are unsure, order a couple of sizes, try them on at home in good daylight and send back anything that is not quite right.

Should you want a second opinion on fit or colour, our team is only a phone call away and always glad to help. We want you to feel calm and confident in your mother of the bride dress long before the big day arrives, so you can simply enjoy every moment of it.
