The wedding of my granddaughter will be on April, but this early I have to look for some gown designs which I will ask my dressmaker to sew for me.
I would not like to wear a formal gown but I could not decline her plea for me and my husband to stand also as one of their major sponsors for the wedding; the so-called godparents.
I told them we are already too old to be godparents so they should rather pick those who are younger, but they insisted saying they really like us to be part of the church ceremony.
So am looking for simple yest elegant long dresses/gown designs for big women. Am also trying to be so frugal now that we are relying only on my husband's pension, so buying an expensive wear is a no, no for me.

The daughter of our neighbor ordered her wedding gown from Lazada and it was very affordable but good. That was more than a year ago.

Does it really fit her? I am afraid to order clothes online.

@acelawrites She said it fit her. I even wondered how.

There was a time when we used something called 'princess cut dresses'. It was a tight bodice but not too tight. It could be a long dress and the beauty laid more on the material of the garment as the cut itself was easy. There are many materials that can be used for that

Thank you for the suggestion. I am still looking for designs and discuss first with the dressmaker on what material to be used.

@acelawrites I think that a too light material will show some of the things I want hidden. But it depends on your body.

@marguicha Yes, the dressmaker can use a thicker lining made of cheaper cloth too.

Thank you for those words. It's a blessing they say; and we are glad they wanted us to be their "second parents."

@acelawrites That would sure be a huge perk! Tell him to get a move on it!

It's what I have in mind, I can still use it if ever my son decides to marry his girlfriend.

Weddings can be incredibly stressful... but they can be a time of awesome memories. Enjoy the time spent on the looking and whatever you choose, you will be perfect!!

My dressmaker and I had already talked about it and she will accompany me to the fabric store to choose the material.

Yes we will be part of the entourage; as principal wedding sponsors. My dressmaker and I will still look for cheaper and good clothing materials.

She likes us; maybe she had seen how my husband and I raised our family! It's flattering.
