    I found this online for my mom and thought it would be a pretty MOB dress. Bridesmaids are wearing navy dresses and I think platinum would be a great compliment to it.

    FYI: MOG is wearing something a bit more conservative -short sleeve faux wrap top and long flowy skirt with a lot of beading on the top in almost navy.

    MOB dress. What do you think? :  wedding ?colorid=64

    in case the above did not work:

    Thanks!

    I think that would make a great MOB dress.  It is very classy.

    Does she have gray or light hair? light skin? my mom won't wear gray because of her gray hair, and my FMIL now had the same reaction since she's no longer dying her hair. I'd go for a color. The style is nice for a MOB, though mom and FMIL both want to cover their arms for looks.

    @rachelss. She has dark brown hair with reddish highlights that comes just below the chin and tends to be more yellow in skin so she cannot wear orange and golds well. very good points about colors though.

    Also, I think we will get a chiffon wrap or something to cover arms for ceremony. Just trying to avoid a bolero.

    Oh, wow, I think it's really pretty!  I know you said the MOG is wearing something more conservative, but if your mom doesn't want to go conservative (and she def doesn't have to!), then I think this is great!  Good find!  Really beautiful with navy BM dresses.

    I think this is a beautiful dress, perfect for your mom and what you've described as her coloring!

    Does your Mom like it? I think it looks like a bridesmaid dress but I love the back and the color is pretty!
