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 Michael’s bridal fabrics.

This is Karen’s similar mother of the bride dress, which I made for her to wear to her daughter’s wedding. And this one in green velvet for Susan. And there are lots of examples on my portfolio page.
