Wow! We are so excited to be stocking this range. It is a new venture for us to have MOB and occasion wear, but we just HAD to have it. We are sure you will feel the same when you see the gowns! At present we have a small capsule collection available off the peg, but also from July 2010 we will have a complete seasons range. If you would like us to contact you when these all arrive, please email us and we will be delighted to add you to our wait list.

Evoking the same glamour as The Paramount Bridal Collection, the Ian Stuart Special Occasion Collection uses similar techniques and detailing to create a very wearable daytime-to-evening-wear range. Now every woman can experience the magic of wearing an Ian Stuart creation, be it to attend a day at the races, a garden party, or a wedding.

Playful, fun, sophisticated and sexy, the collection is aimed at women of all ages who like to make an entrance and includes dresses and jackets with bows and floral decorations applied in typical Ian Stuart style. Crushed taffetas, silk, chiffon and brocade are used to create stylish shapes that will enhance any figure.
