At least your daughter knows what your colour is now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit/page/2#post-2401096 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 02:51:33 +0000 anne 2401096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni. I got $20 off for joining their club too. And I think going sleeveless will help with the hear, though if it is a really hot day the length will be a bit hot.</p> <p>And yes, need to buy shoes. Not about other accessories.</p> <p>The bridesmaids I thought were sorted, but are returning their ordered dresses and trying again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit/page/2#post-2401093 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 01:55:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 2401093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pleased for you, that you have got something you’re happy with at a price you feel is reasonable. Now you have the most important component of the outfit down you can feel more secure about sorting out the finer details of accessories and of course help your daughter. This pale blue does suit you really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2401083 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 23:15:10 +0000 anne 2401083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went for the Sheike dress. Fitting room photos not great, but here they are. I can't remember if this was the size I got as I needed up sizing up for a smoother fit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400319 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:11:08 +0000 Angie 2400319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anne,</b>&nbsp;you look beautiful in all these tones and hues of light blue! Lucky it's your colour :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400317 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 16:00:43 +0000 anne 2400317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. I didn't realise about where to tie the sash until I looked up the photo later. I meant to put that in my post but I think it was in the lost post.</p> <p>I like that one the best too, and agree about the bare neckline on the Kookai. I like the colour though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400314 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 14:56:43 +0000 Angie 2400314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Sheike dress, <b>Anne</b>! Pics #1 and #2 posted in the thread. The colour is very pretty, and the neckline unique! Try tying the sash in front. I don't think you can sit on the sash tied at the back.&nbsp;</p> <p>From want I can see, the neckline of the Kookai is not as good. A little bare. I like that dress from the waist down :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400296 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 03:24:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Kookai one! Yes, Serendipity was just a particular shop that took outlet stock from various brands. The daughter’s ball dress I got by chance- I was looking in Modes, a very long-standing formal wear store, and they happened to be having a sort of outlet sale of their own stuff next door at the time. Modes still exists if you felt like Googling it (think it’s in Newmarket, Auckland) but the prices are eye-watering mostly. So it was just if you might have a similar sort of store in Perth somewhere. The stores you hit did sound feasible but bad luck that no results.<br /> Here is a pretty blue one from Modes just for another idea. It’s over $1100 though! Eye-watering to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400295 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 03:00:14 +0000 anne 2400295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, having so much trouble posting.<br /> Just lost a reply<br /> Here's two I tried<br /> <a href="https://www.sheike.com.au/products/olivia-maxi-dress-blue?srsltid=AfmBOoqWxFjmAD_GCHwiquYaUOkV7vKS6WrW3BWch8kD2NjkDmEZ5Bqw" rel="nofollow">https://www.sheike.com.au/prod.....jkDmEZ5Bqw</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.kookai.com.au/products/maria-halter-maxi-dress-ice-water" rel="nofollow">https://www.kookai.com.au/prod.....-ice-water</a><br /> More reasonable prices too.</p> <p>I am not, sure, Jenni, if we exactly have the shops you are talking about. But I hit a consignment shop, a bridal resale shop and 4 op shops with no results. I have a ticket for a dress for success sale next weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400049 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 14:38:38 +0000 Karie 2400049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress you tried on is gorgeous!

Can't wait to see what you decide-and perhaps will show us some IRL picties, too!!! Welcome back!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400040 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:03:12 +0000 Sisi 2400040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Anne, nice to see you! Sorry I'm of no help with the dress search (I live in another continent) but wanted to say that the dress you posted is fabulous on you!&nbsp; Congratulations for the wedding!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400038 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 06:12:58 +0000 Star (Lise) 2400038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400036 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 06:03:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That David Jones dress is really pretty. When I was choosing I tried on various ones that appealed and asked the forum, but ultimately bought a sale dress in the cobalt I love and had it altered. In your city are there any sort of outlet type boutiques you could trawl through- new clothes but maybe last year’s stock or something which might reduce the price somewhat? We used to have one called Serendipity which was a great name because it really was! I guess you are looking for quite a specific colour… just I found a ball dress for a daughter once that way at maybe say $80 instead of $300! But it does mean trawling through B&amp;M stores all over town possibly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400034 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 03:32:35 +0000 Irina 2400034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks perfect on you.&nbsp;<div>I bought a dress in this price range for my son’s wedding and also had to pay for alterations. Initially, I didn’t want to spend money on something to wear once and tried rental dresses. But I couldn’t find anything that was perfect. So, I bought my dress and got it altered. I never regretted it. It felt comfortable, looked good and came out nice in the photos.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400031 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 02:19:21 +0000 Suz 2400031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous dress, Anne. I love the sleeves! Very flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400030 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 02:12:25 +0000 VioletMyra 2400030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely choice, Anne. One of the Bris newsreaders had similar sleeves (white dress) a couple of weeks ago . . . I admired them at the time. best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400017 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 23:02:26 +0000 Sal 2400017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's lovely Anne!&nbsp; What a good shape it is on you - and the colour is lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2400016 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 22:55:16 +0000 Angie 2400016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH!

I agree though, especially since it is pricey, if no one has heard of them I wouldn't take the chance.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399966 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 02:26:44 +0000 Angie 2399966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, <b>Anne</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I echo <b>Suz</b> and <b>Sal</b>,</p> <p>Purchase something online from a very familiar to you store.

I would not trust this site if there are poor reviews. I hope the Aussies can jump in and help with options!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399947 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 22:17:48 +0000 anne 2399947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lise and Violetmyra. Yes, I have looked online at Myer, (and all the other Australian retailers I could think of). Myer did used to have a very similar dress, but is out of stock. However I am going to go down to look in person today as well.</p> <p>Bella, I know re time! You are very wise re the unknown online retailers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399913 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:06:50 +0000 bella 2399913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, Long time no see! Congratulations on the impending nuptials of your eldest daughter! I can't believe how quickly time passes.&nbsp;<br />At this point, I think it is safe to assume that all apart from reputable brands, most online retailers are either a scam (worst case scenario), or are a retail front for shady clothing companies shipping from China (better but still not good). In that case, you might receive your order with a delay (due to international shipping or other logistical problems), the sizes will be all over the place, or the quality will be nothing like what the pictures suggest. So better safe than sorry!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399912 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:02:29 +0000 VioletMyra 2399912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing you've looked at Myer dresses . . . I couldn't find any suitable in light blue (but I did find a lovely one in navy). Best wishes for a successful search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399911 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:12:40 +0000 Star (Lise) 2399911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trust the reviews. People submitted them for a reason. I wouldn't go for it. Look for something similar from a trusted brand, or at least with good reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399909 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 04:29:42 +0000 anne 2399909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank Jenni, and I loved those blue shoes you posted recently.</p> <p>I am pretty suspicious. They're not an Australian site, and their site sometimes uses the words Malvi Paris instead, and I have found reports of their being a scam <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1e6n3t7/my_frustrating_experience_with_malvi_paris_am_i/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams.....aris_am_i/</a> </p> <p>Oh well, I will just post a picture of the dress I like, and perhaps YLF folk might have seen something similar somewhere legitimate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maddyparis-for-a-mother-of-the-bride-outfit#post-2399908 Sun, 30 Nov 2025 02:52:39 +0000 Jenni NZ 2399908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, it’s nice to see you! I have never heard of that site which is a bit worrying I feel, but maybe some Aussies can help you. </p>
