"Mother" of the Groom

I'd skip the belt and go with black shoes.

I agree with PP. skip the belt and wear black shoes. Very pretty.

I guess I’m old fashioned but aren’t MOB and MOG dresses supposed to be floor length? You should probably show the pic to your future daughter-in-law if your concerned she won’t like it. My MIL and two aunts (who are like my moms) shared their dresses with me beforehand to make sure I didn’t have any qualms.

Not always. Depends on the wedding. This is a second marriage for both of them, so not as formal. I'm not concerned she won't like it, that's why I asked her about off-limit colors first. I also wanted to show zero cleavage. At her surprise engagement my other stepson's wife wore a backless and low cut dress and the bride to be was NOT happy. I'm comfortable with the choice, just wasn't sure about a belt and shoes.

Black, nude, or gold would look great. Pretty dress!!!

I really like this dress! I would say no belt with black shoes.

Thank you That's probably what i'll go with, since my husband is getting a black suit. I am hoping to talk him into a green tie to match me lol

I would say no belt – the dress has enough going on on it’s own. And I would opt for black shoes, especially for a winter wedding. It’s a gorgeous color dress! I am loving the return of velvet this year!

Pretty dress, Laura! I vote for black shoes and if you do a belt only a thin one to add a little more definition, if you want it but doesn’t seem necessary.

I'm also for no belt

The only reason I was considering it was to give myself a waist lol

Me too! I love velvet. I generally hate green, but I did like this shade, and I thought for a wedding two days after Thanksgiving it would be appropriate.

View Quoted Comment That’s what I thought! I think a thin one might help for that. And maybe something not too jeweled/blinged-out.

I love this dress!! These are my wedding colors and I would love if my mom wore this dress! I would do black shoes and no belt!

This dress looks AMAZING! Black pumps for sure with this dress!

The dress is really pretty. I think if the wedding is so close to Thanksgiving, you could try a bronze color shoe to give it more of a fall feel.

I don't think it needs a belt, but once you have the dress, put it on and take stock of how the skirt falls when you're walking, sitting, etc. since it's split. I've had some issues with that in the past where I've felt more comfortable pinning it so it wouldn't split too high.
