But how can you be sure that you’re choosing the right dress? There are some etiquette rules you should know, and a few things to keep in mind.

Tea Length

In addition to flattering your figure, a tea length is an ideal option for many dress codes, including black tie events. This popular midi style is available in a variety of stunning colors and patterns, so you can easily find a look that suits your wedding theme and personal style!

If you’re looking for a more casual summer wedding, then a tea-length mother of the groom dress is your go-to. This elegant linen dress is lightweight and breathable, so it’ll keep you cool while still looking stunning!

Long Length

Long mother of the groom dresses exude elegance and elongate your figure for a positively regal look. The longer hemlines typically suit formal weddings and black-tie dress codes best, but they're also perfect for cooler seasons when you need to keep your warm and cozy.

For the glam mom, opt for an Adrianna Papell gown with a blouson bodice and body-skimming skirt for the ultimate flattering silhouette. Add a matching capelet for added coverage and style it with dazzling heels for a glamorous finish.

A-Line

A-line mother of the groom dresses are flattering on all body types and are a great option for those looking to avoid thigh-high slits or a flared skirt. If you’re on the hunt for a sophisticated, yet comfortable option, try MGNY’s Crystal Beaded Chiffon Evening Gown (style 72510).

This lace A-line dress is a dream, with a draped off-the-shoulder bodice that features delicate crystal beaded, floral appliques. It also boasts a flowing skirt that gently billows off your figure.

Sheath style mother of the groom dresses are available in many colors, including navy blue and burgundy. These hues are timeless and work well in most wedding themes and season.
