Questions before you choose

What should the mother of the groom wear?

She should match the formality of the wedding and choose a color that sits well beside what the bride’s mother wears, without copying it. Navy, bordeaux, and black suit most weddings. We would start with the Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress in Midnight Blue ($695) or the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux ($550).

What should the mother of the groom wear to an evening wedding?

Choose a dress to mid calf, a lace dress with sleeves, or a gown if the invitation says black tie. The Lucy Jacquard Midi ($695), the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Black ($550), and the Bruna gown ($595) cover those cases. Each dress page names the Luna coat for the arrival.

Which mother of the groom dresses have sleeves?

The Lucy Navy Illusion Sleeve Sheath Dress ($695) has long sheer mesh sleeves, and the Lucy Jacquard Midi ($695) has sheer 3/4 sleeves. The Jody lace dresses ($550) have short lace sleeves or, in the A-line, long sheer sleeves with lace cuffs.

Can the mother of the groom wear black?

She can at most evening weddings, ideally with texture. The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Black ($550) and the Jody Lace Jumpsuit in Black ($550) both have a lace bodice. At a daytime or religious ceremony, check with the family first.

What coat goes over a mother of the groom dress?

Choose a coat that reaches the hem. The navy Clara ($910) reaches mid calf over the Lucy jacquard midi. The black Lucy ($910) ends at the knee over the Jody lace dresses, and the black Nicole ($825) reaches mid calf over the Bruna gown.

Can the mother of the groom wear a pantsuit?

She can. The collection holds 4 blazers, 2 pairs of wide leg pants, and 3 jumpsuits to the floor. The Aria Jumpsuit in Black ($595) has a mesh yoke and cap sleeves, and it takes a coat of any length.

How do shipping and returns work?

Orders ship from California within 1 business day. US shipping is free, and transit takes 2 to 5 days. US returns are free within 30 days, so you can try the dress and the coat at home before the wedding.
