MOB Dress

I have two questions regarding
my MOB dress.

The wrap is going to be very long on me and will have to be shortened. Someone in the shop suggested having the fabric from the wrap made into a short jacket instead. I'm torn on this. The bodice detail will be covered by a jacket, but would a jacket look better? Or, if I leave the wrap alone and just shorten it, where should the ends hit on my body?

Question two is about shoes. I was all set to wear an evening sandal, but am now second-guessing this. I will be walking up 4-5 steps to light a candle on the altar before the ceremony. I keep thinking that it might not look so good when I'm going down the steps to have my bare toes pointed at the congregation! The dress is celadon green, but shimmers a pinky-gold when I move. There are very small sequins along the V of the bodice that are iridescent/pink. Any suggestions for styles/colors would be appreciated!

Your Mother of the Bride dress is gorgeous.
I would not consider adding the jacket. The dress has terrific detail as is, and the unbroken straight lines of the wrap are a dramatic foil. About the length, you would have to try and see. Although you could copy the length shown on the model, for your height, it may not be the most flattering one for you. Try the wrap on, and have it pinned back at the best length for you. A good way to do this is to start with a length that is obviously too long (and note this length) then shorten to a length that is obviously too short (and note this.) Then try one in the middle and move up or down until you reach the length that works best.

I do like the evening sandals, but I understand your wanting more coverage, since your toes will be on display. Look for a D'orsay (split) pump or closed high heel pump in a matte satin. You may have some white shoes dyed, but not to match. Try a darker green, perhaps olive, or a deep forest green (hold the swatches near the dress) or, if you are more adventurous, a deep rose, or other muted shade of pink. You can't go wrong, with this beautiful gown.

Congratulations on your happy event, and on the smashing dress.
