Mothers are moire fashion conscious The single biggest difference between to- day's mothers of the bride and groom and• their yesteryear counterparts is the fact that they are infinitely more fashion con- scious, slimmer and younger looking than before. Designers and manufacturers of bridal wear have finally realized that there is a need for attractive, appropriate garments for members of the wedding party - besides the bride. Selections in Metro stores are much better than hi previous years. This year's favourite colours are the romantic shades of mauve, violet, hyacinth, dusty rose, peach, pale gray, cobalt and aubergine. Many mothers prefer either two piece gowns or dresses with cover up jackets or sheer overblouses that tend to camouflage a thickening waist (one of the few figure pro- blems mothers of the bride and groom may have). They're following the brides and are selecting long dresses in preference to short. The dresses are more formal than they us- ed to be, often trimmed with embroidery, beading ace or ruffles. Favourite fabrics are taffeta, silk, matte satin, moire and silly' witha.chiifon overiayer. Many mothers choose dresses they will be. ablate wear to other formal events. If these arelow cut or particularly,ornate, it's essen- tial • that they have a cover up jacket, caplet, or blouson, since it's inappropriate to wear.a very decollete or glittery gown to a wedding. There. are, of course, a number of dos and don'ts for the mother of the bride or groom. She should select lung sleeves, which are more• flattering to older arms, and preferably a high neckline. She should avoid overly bright or harsh colours, and never select strong prints. Mothers should also consider the rest of the bridal party before making a final decision to make sure that their selection is compatible with other col- ours. It's a good idea to get professional advice on hair and makeup, even for women unac- customed to having their hair and makeup professionally done, since the single biggest mistake mothers tend to make is to sudden- ly go overboard.
