Victoria commissioned this stunning dress in royal blue silk dupion and lace. I made fit and flare blue bespoke mother of the bride dress was lightly boned with ruching from underbust to an asymmetric line under the hip. The fitted bodice had a sweetheart neckline and was covered in scrolling lace which was also used for the three quarter length sleeves.
I just loved the hat Victoria found to go with this dress. Colour matching from different suppliers is not always easy. I will always make sure my clients have swatches of any fabrics I am buying for their dresses. So they can use these to find their shoes, bag and hat.

I buy from several different fabric suppliers. When you visit for a consultation we can spend time looking at options in my huge range of sample books including Bennet Silks and Michaelās bridal fabrics.
