For the magnificent mom in search of a contemporary, high-fashion misses or plus size dress that is sure to be a head turner, a lace fitted sheath is picture-perfect. Accentuating your beautiful curves in all the right places, confidently step into your Mother’s Day Brunch, Dining on the Lake, or other fascinating affair. Likewise, striking dresses – whether short, maxi, asymmetrical, form-fitting, sweeping, or flowing – are ideal.

Welcome to The Millinery Room

Wearing a hat for Mother’s Day is such a delightfully charming, time-honored tradition. An intricately designed millinery adds glamour to any ensemble. This year select a lovely hat and add a fabulous dress, pant suit, or dress suit to complement it. Gracefully promenade throughout the room at the Mother’s Day High Tea, Botanical Garden Party or distinctive soiree in a lovely, floral Jack McConnell hat or other headpiece or fascinator ranging from the understated to most extravagant.
