Couture Occasion Wear

Navy crepe and lace dress

Our Navy crepe and lace dress is the perfect outfit for the modern young at heart lady who doesn’t want to look like the typical mother of the bride or groom.The tunic drapes beautifully over a slip dress which has a layer of lace at the hem.

Sassy, young and fashionable this style makes a statement at the same time being relaxed and easy to wear.

This is an investment piece and most of our designs can be worn over and over again as they don’t look like “typical Mother of the Bride outfits”. Our designs can be worn to dinners, cruises and other special occasions if you don’t wear the hat. You can choose the hat exactly as shown or have another hat made to match your outfit by our extremely talented in house milliner. These hats are available to view in-store. We have a collection of hats which are available to buy online, please view them here.

All of our Mother of the Bride/ Groom Special Occasion Wear outfits are made to measure in our production unit in Glasgow, Scotland. They are tailored to flatter your body shape and size and are available in a range of colours. All of our collections are sold exclusively from our shops in London and Glasgow.

The navy crepe and lace dress is a modern and elegant concept for all occasions in contemporary design. View more of our special occasion wear collection.

Joyce’s comment:

Obviously suits slim people but most designs do ! Most of us, however, are not a perfect size ten, therefore, I would recommend this style for ladies with  smaller bust and wider hips as the shape disguises the middle area it is ideal for many of us who are a bit pear shaped! I have also seen it on a size 18/20 and the lady looked fabulous.

What Others Say

I had the most amazing experience at the Hampstead shop. From the first appointment to the final one the staff were so lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and I was very confident that the end result would be just what I wanted. And it certainly was! I felt amazing , confident and excited to to wear my outfit. I had lots of compliments from family and guests and I really enjoyed wearing the outfit which made the wedding even more amazing. Thank you so much to you all and I must mention Colin the tailor who was just wonderful. Looking forward to my other son’s wedding next year and I have no hesitation whatsoever to go back for another stunning outfit!
