Now that we are officially in british summer time, wedding season is also upon us. When it comes to weddings we get asked a lot about Dressmaking Fabric for bridesmaids and brides but a lady that should never be forgotten is the mother of the bride and we have a number of dress fabrics in stock that would be ideal for making a stunning mother of the bride outfit.

We have just added some new Dressmaking Fabric to our cotton print section which would be perfect for making an outfit whether it be a dress, skirt and top or jacket for a mother of the bride. These new fabrics are jacquard cotton spandex which have a beautiful embroidered pattern to them which gives texture to the fabric. They are available in two designs, Volga and Lucerne which both have distinctive patterns to them and will give an outfit a classic look. This Dressmaking Fabric would be particularly good for making a tailored jacket to go over a plainer dress fabric to give it a designer feel. Similar to our other cotton spandex, these two jacquard fabrics have a small amount of spandex in their fibre content which gives it a slight stretch. When made up into an outfit, this elastane will provide a 'comfort stretch' and will make it particularly comfortable to wear which is important when it is being worn all day at a wedding. These fabrics come in a subtle colour range which js usually fairly popular for mother of the bride outfits as they do not want to upstage the bride in bright colours.
Have you been a mother of the bride and if so, what Dressmaking Fabric did you choose for your outfit? We would love to see your pictures so why not share them on our Facebook page for us to have a look at.
