At Jane Young, we love Veni Infantino occasion wear for the sheer variety they offer. In our store, you’ll find one of the largest Veni Infantino collections in the East Midlands; everything from beautifully structured a-line dresses, softer chiffon styles and show-stopping evening pieces. Statement sleeves, flattering necklines, intricate embroidery and unique prints are all part of the brand’s signature flair.

Veni Infantino brings a wonderful sense of drama to Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom dressing. Designed by Veni Infantino for the Ronald Joyce group, the collection combines timeless British elegance with a more contemporary Italian approach, making it fantastic for modern weddings.

It is a particularly lovely choice for a Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom who wants their outfit to feel elegant and refined, but with a little more personality. There are more classic options for those who prefer understated sophistication, alongside bold colours, interesting silhouettes and striking details for those who want to turn heads on the big day.

At Jane Young, we know that finding your size can be one of the most daunting parts of buying an special occasion outfit. Our designer’s sizing does not always correspond clearly with your usual high-street size, and every woman's proportions are different. Please don't let a number on a label put you off trying something you love.

Across our Mother of the Bride and Groom collection, we stock a wide range of UK sizes 6–24. Our individual designers have their own unique craftmanship and fit. John Charles dresses can often be more fitted through the mid-body and their internal structure may require you to size up accordingly. Veni Infantino offers a broad range of silhouettes, so their fit can vary depending on the individual style. Couture Club by Rosa Clara tends to fit true to size, but often requires shortening.

Our experienced stylists are here to help you navigate this rather than expecting you to work it out alone. Most importantly, the dress does not have to fit perfectly when you first try it on.
Our professional alterations team works in-house at Jane Young, which means we can make considered adjustments to the fit, length and proportions of your chosen outfit. Whether a hem needs shortening, a waist needs refining or the fit simply needs a little tailoring to sit beautifully on your figure, we can help create the finished result. This elevates an off-the-hanger outfit, to a showstopping tailored piece, just for you.

We know that buying an outfit for your son or daughter's wedding can feel like a big decision, so if you're at all unsure about sizing, please give us a call on 01636 703511 before ordering, or visit us at our Newark boutique. Our stylists can talk through the fit with you, measure you properly and help you find a style in which you feel completely comfortable and confident.
