One of the keys to looking and feeling your best in a mother of the bride dress is finding the right silhouette. While the traditional ball gown may be tempting, it's not always the most flattering option for plus-size figures. Instead, consider an A-line or empire waist dress that will skim your curves and create a streamlined, elegant look.

"The A-line silhouette is a game-changer for plus-size mothers of the bride," says fashion expert, Michael Johnson. "It nips in at the waist to accentuate your natural curves, while the flowing skirt creates a beautiful, balanced proportion."

If you're seeking a more formal, sophisticated look, consider a mother of the bride dress with elegant lace detailing. Lace is a timeless, romantic fabric that can add an extra touch of elegance to your ensemble.

"Lace is a great option for plus-size mothers of the bride because it can create the illusion of a more streamlined silhouette," explains Rown's in-house stylist, Sarah Williams. "The intricate patterns and delicate texture of lace help to camouflage areas you may be self-conscious about, while still allowing you to look and feel your absolute best."

Rown's Evelyn Dress, with its allover lace and flattering A-line skirt, is a stunning example of how lace can elevate a plus-size mother of the bride look. The illusion neckline and three-quarter sleeves provide just the right amount of coverage, while the open back adds a touch of modern flair.
