Aka: Trumpet dress 48) Micro Mini Dress Short and sweet, this dress is for those days when you feel like showing off a bit more leg
We witnessed floor-length coats skimming the fall and winter 2025 runways of Khaite, Thom Browne, Max Mara, and a myriad of other designer brands styled with everything from sheer pants to sleek LBDs
Id tried calling a leading mainstream dress manufacturer that makes in larger sizes (as many thankfully do now!) but in all of the UK they did not have a sample close to my size available and the time to have it made was quite a while. I really wasnt prepared to order a very fitted gown without even seeing it and knowing if it looked right on me, not to mention the cost ran into the many thousands. In the end, I just loved the one from Martin McCrea the most for the style and the warmer pastel tones that I felt should suit my pale skin
Chill for several hours before serving (if possible)
The versatile swing dress [$50] from Fascino Boutique can accommodate a variety of looks
When it comes to mother-of-the-groom dresses for fall 2024, we'd say this long-sleeved look is a no-brainer
