Robes

It keeps you covered and comfortable through hair and makeup, and it comes off over a finished hairstyle without dragging. It also means the early photographs taken in the room look intentional rather than catching everyone in an old dressing gown.

The collection covers lace and satin styles for a more polished look, and breathable cotton lace for warmer weather or a longer morning. Floral designs are also available if you want something softer than a plain colour in the getting ready photographs.

Shades in the collection include champagne, navy, pink, blue, purple and white, with floral options alongside them. Many mothers pick a shade that sits near their dress colour so the morning photographs and the ceremony photographs look like one day.

Robes are listed from Small through to Extra Large, with Regular and Curvy fits rather than numbered sizing. Because robes are cut generously and tied at the waist, sizing is more forgiving than an occasion dress, so most mothers order their usual size.
