Jersey Mother of the Bride Dresses

Jersey is one of the easiest occasion fabrics to wear for a full day. It stretches with you when you sit, hug and dance, recovers its shape rather than holding creases, and skims the waist and hip instead of clinging, which is why so many mothers choose it for long weddings.

Yes. Most of the jersey range is cut with sleeves, from cap sleeves through to longer sleeve options, and many styles have draped bodices or cowl necklines that add coverage across the shoulders and upper arms. That makes them suitable for church ceremonies and cooler seasons.

The jersey range is strongest in deeper shades, including indigo, dusty indigo and wine tones, which photograph well under evening lighting. If a particular colour matters most, it can be quicker to start from a colour collection and then filter down to the jersey styles within it.

Jersey styles are listed in AU sizes 4 to 30. Because the knit has genuine give through the waist and bust, it tends to suit a wider range of shapes than a structured fabric, and a try-on dress can be sent to you so you can confirm the fit at home before ordering.
