mother of the bride dress


   My daughter is getting married in June.  Both the wedding & reception is going to be outdoors.  The wedding is at 5 p.m.   Her dress is a very classic & elegant dress.  The bridesmaids will be in long dresses.  What length of dress should I wear?   Could I wear a knee lenght dress or would it look out of place on the mother of the bride.

Re: mother of the bride dress

  • you wount look out of place- my mom wore a knee length dress and all my wedding party wore long dresses
  • Here's the rule:  wear whatever makes you feel fabulous. 

    If you want to wear short....wear short.  If you want to wear long....wear long.  A knee length dress would not look out of place on the MOB as long as the fabric and style keep it somewhat "in tune" with what the bride and BM are wearing.
  • I agree, wear whatever makes you feel fabulous!
  • I would only wear long if you think most of the female guests will be in long dresses. You want to look at least as good (if not better!) than them.

    Otherwise, knee-length is fine. Look for good-quality fabrics and craftmanship, and maybe wear some really nice jewelry.

  • I agree that you need to look fabulous! Just wear something that you look amazing in.
