What should the mother of the bride wear?

A polished midi or full-length dress is a popular choice for formal weddings, while two-piece sets and matching jackets can work beautifully too. Take your cue from the venue, season and level of formality the couple has planned.

What length of dress works best?

Midi and full-length dresses are classic choices for formal weddings, while knee-length suits a garden or registry ceremony. Pick the length you feel most comfortable in across a long day.

What colours should I avoid?

Steer clear of white, ivory and champagne unless the couple has asked otherwise, and check the bridal party colours first. Navy, deep green, dusty rose, silver and soft neutrals are reliable and photograph well.

Should I coordinate with the mother of the groom?

It is worth a quick conversation so you land on a similar level of formality and avoid clashing shades. You do not need to match, and many families simply agree on a palette and leave the styling to each person.

What can I wear over a dress for the ceremony?

A tailored jacket, a lace bolero, a cape or a fine knit wrap all work, and a matching jacket often comes with the dress. For an evening reception, a pashmina folded over your arm is easy to take on and off.

What sizes do the dresses come in?

Our occasion dresses are available in standard sizing, with petite and Curve options in many styles. Every product page includes the brand's own size guide and model measurements.

What should I pair with a mother of the bride dress?

Block heels or low heels keep you comfortable for a full day, and a clutch holds the essentials. Finish with drop earrings or a delicate necklace, and add a fascinator or hat for a formal church venue.

How do I care for lace and chiffon dresses?

Always check the care label first, as delicate occasion fabrics may need specialist cleaning. Store the dress carefully on a suitable hanger and use gentle steaming where recommended rather than applying direct heat.

Does Myer offer free delivery on occasion dresses?

Myer offers free standard delivery on orders over $99, with free Click & Collect from your nearest store. Express delivery is available at checkout for an additional charge, which helps if the date is close.

What is Myer’s returns policy on dresses?
