Mother Of The Bride Outfits

The mother of the bride is photographed more than anyone but the couple, and she is the only one who has to look right from the first guest to the last dance. These 27 pieces, from $470 to $695 in sizes 0 to 14, are what we make for her: dresses, a pantsuit, lace blazers, and jumpsuits that read as considered rather than costumed.

The Jody lace cocktail dress in ivory, bordeaux, or midnight green is the dress most mothers choose: knee length, short lace sleeves, a sheer yoke, fitted through the waist. The Agatha ivory pearl blazer with the Agatha ivory wide-leg pants is the pantsuit for the mother who does not wear dresses. The Bruna beige lace gown is for a black tie evening. The Jody lace jumpsuit is the third way. The Jody lace blazers go over any of them for the ceremony.

Every piece is made in our atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in small runs, and is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Each page shows the length, the sleeve, the model's height and size, and the sizes in stock today. Orders ship from California within a business day. Returns are free for 30 days, no questions asked, which is how a dress for the most photographed day should be bought.
