Couture Occasion Wear

Contemporary Wool Coat and Short Sheath Dress

This is a very special outfit to Joyce Young as it was originally designed for her own investiture and has since become a classic in our mother of the bride or groom collection. This is an extremely flattering outfit with the tapered coat cinching the waist to create an hourglass effect. The coat is made to be flattering on all sizes, from petite to plus, giving a feminie silhouette. Paired with a silk dress that not only complements the coat but also feels incredibly luxurious in our soft silk. 

This is a perfect choice for an autumn or winter wedding, a go-to for mothers of the bride or groom, who not only want to look classy and elegant, they want to feel it too. All our mother of the bride and groom outfits are made-to-measure and created in-house in our Glasgow production unit. By choosing a design created to your bespoke sizes you’re ensuring the most flattering fit.

We’ve pictured our wool coat and silk dress here in cream and white, we have a selection of colours available in this design. Matching fascinators or hatinators are also available to finish your wedding or special event look in our Glasgow and London shops. This elegant outfit is created to make you feel the best version of yourself, which is why Joyce herself designed it to wear to her own investiture.

What Others Say

I had my mother of the bride outfit made at Joyce Young. It was unique, it was a one off hybrid of two outfits with my own personal twist. It was of course hand made and tailored for me and it was exquisite. I felt a million dollars. It’s one of my best life experiences.
