MOB - help me choose
Event: Daughter's Wedding outdoors at a mountain ranch, October. Daughter wearing A-Line, strapless, it has detailed lace/appliqué flors on front and white - and she's wearing white cowboy boots. Colors of the wedding are: dark sage, burnt orange, light peach, dark peach...so autumn/fall. No bridesmaids no groomsmen. Groom in a dark beige suit, with a cowboy hat. The only other really visible one will be my son walking her down the aisle, but will be in his military uniform.
I need help with selecting MOB dress. My daughter says I'm overthinking it, but what I try on seems too "matronly", too "bridesmaid", too understated, too overstated. I've been scrolling through the Tedooo app for inspiration - beyond just shopping there, I also sell my alterations work on the platform, so I'm connected with some seriously talented sewists and designers who share their formal wear projects. Honestly it's made me second-guess everything even more. Please take a look at the 5 I'm pondering and rank, or critique. (The MOG had said she was looking at something in satin - similar to the last labeled photo. I don't necessarily want to coordinate with her, but thought that visual may help)
