Mother of the Bride Nightmare

"Mother of the bride and losing the will to live" was something said by a very tired and frustrated customer looking for a dress or an outfit and who came to the Lesters' designer studio. Another mother stated "I spent months desperately seeking a special outfit for my daughter's wedding but everything I tried on made me look horrific. I felt as old as my mother. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to find these fantastic clothes. For the first time in years I have been made to feel young, elegant and stylish. Now I am much more confident and amazingly feel so sophisticated. My new fantasy is to win the lottery and have a whole new wardrobe of elegant dresses and gowns especially designed by this wonderful team. These people design and make elegant, fashion clothing; outfits for real people!"

Mothers are made to believe, especially if they are plus size, that they have to wear the prescribed uniform of a 'shapeless pastel suit or a pastel tent dress' allowing no personal expressions of who and what they are. The day is so important to the mothers of the bride and the groom, it is their proud day too, so the photographs must show as elegant and timeless. Charles and Patricia's unique approach takes into consideration every aspect of the individual, their size, shape, colouring as well as what kind of outfits, dresses and gowns that feel comfortable and look great. Being able to create the cloth to suit the customer before making it up into an elegant outfit ensures that every person who buys clothing from us is made to feel really special. The Lesters' not only cater for the mother of the bride but also have a fantastic collection of unusual and rare bridal gowns for the petite to the plus size bride.

Mother of the Bride Plus Size Dress Problem Solved

The wedding day should be an exciting and happy event for the mother of the bride but is frequently coloured by the terror experienced by women who are not only going to be on show, talked about and compared with other ladies present but if they get their special dress wrong they face the impending doom of being immortalised in the photographs. Charles and Patricia Lester, fashion and textile designers, are renowned for their unique and elegant clothing and women are delighted to find designers who are able to create a perfect outfit, solving their problems and allaying their fears. The Lesters' hand painted sumptuous silk dresses and gowns are not only enjoyed by the elite but by the many people who appreciate the artistic and aesthetic qualities of their individually created garments. "Women are tired of being treated as clones," says Patricia. "Our clothing allows people to express their individuality." These outfits are not only stylish and elegant but are comfortable to wear - so no worries about feasting at the wedding banquet.
