MOB Dress suggestions, HELP!!!?

Question

My wedding is Memorial weekend, my mother has been shopping for a dress since JANUARY! and still can't find anything. She is tiny (5'2" and 110 lbs) and a red hed. It is a black time affair, but we don't want a full ball gown for her. She would like something not typical MOB dress. My colors are teal & yellow, she doesn't have to match as long as she doens't clash I am fine. We are in Philly

Any suggestions????? I would like actual dress suggestions as I already know the majority of lines out there, we just have to find the right dress in the line. She liked this one

But was unsure of the color.

Answer 1

I think the first or second dress in Peacock, Cobalt, Navy or Pool would be good. The others would work too. I think the other dress is okay. Not a huge fan of the color. I would tell the MOG she can wear whatever she wants at this point and your mom will choose after she gets hers because it's very rude to make his mom wait this long because yours can't make up her mind.

Answer 2

Great dress! And the silhouette will be lovely for a tiny, slender red-head. I say go for it.

Oh, by the way, it's black tie - not black time - Black time mean time for mourning - hardly the atmosphere for a big, big formal wedding.

Answer 3

Have you tried Danielle's? They do excellent custom dress work, maybe your mother could look there or have something made.

As for actual dresses, she could easily pull off something in a blue tone or green tone with her hair, or a metallic. I don't have any styles to recommend because I rarely shop off the rack but she could definitely have something made!

Good luck

Answer 4

a blue would look great with teal and yellow, also greens

Answer 5

If she can pull it off, that dress is gorgeous.   Although with teal and yellow I am not sure about the color.  

If your wedding is on Memorial day weekend, why are you freaking out?   That's almost a year away.

Answer 6

that is a great dress!  but if she can't find anything she loves in MOB dress lines...why not hit a mall and get something **gasp** off the rack?  my mom got a beautiful outfit for my wedding, didn't need any alterations, looked great on her, and she only paid $80 for it because she got a huge discount!

Answer 7

That is a beautiful dress. I think it would look lovely.

My mother is about the same size as your mom. She got a dress by Jade from Jasmine Bridal. She actually got it in black. At first she wanted a color, but then we saw it on her in black and it looked so elegant - plus it matches with everything. Here is the dress that she wore:

Your mother could wear a raspberry or a dark pink dress - I think that would blend nicely with your colors...or black - it's very elegant. Here are a few other suggestions:

You can also try looking at Nordstrom's. They had lots of dresses when me and my mom went out shopping.

Good luck!
