Mother of the Bride Outfits
made to measure
The mother of the bride is in more photographs than almost anyone and on her feet longer than most. The outfit has to hold a shape from the morning preparation to the last dance, without a single adjustment in between.
How we cut it
We fit a supportive bodice, choose a fabric that will not crease through a long lunch, and coordinate colour with the bridal party without matching it exactly. Jackets and coats are drafted to sit correctly over the dress.
Mothers of the bride and groom, grandmothers, and close family at formal weddings.
Bring the shoes and the underwear you'll wear on the day to the final fitting — both change the hem.
