Frequently asked questions
What style of mother of the bride dress is most flattering?
An A-line silhouette or empire waist with a v-neckline works beautifully for most body shapes it defines the waist, skims the hips, and elongates the frame. Sleeves (cap, 3/4 or long) help with arm coverage, which is the most common request from mother of the bride customers. Lace overlays and beaded detailing add elegance without bulk.
Should the mother of the bride wear a long or short dress?
Long dresses suit evening, formal and black-tie weddings. Midi (mid-calf) dresses are appropriate for daytime, garden and most modern Australian weddings. Knee-length is appropriate for casual ceremonies and beach weddings. Always coordinate length with the bride and the venue — the wedding website typically specifies the dress code.

How early should I order my mother of the bride dress?
We recommend ordering 6–8 weeks before the wedding to allow time for delivery, alterations if needed, and a backup option if the colour or fit is not right. For peak wedding season (September to April) order earlier as popular styles sell out. Mother of the bride long dresses are particularly popular and can run low in plus sizes.
