Sleeper
The brand that made sleepwear FASHION, even before the global pandemic. We love Sleeper’s best selling Atlanta dress in lavender. Laid back linen that’s super comfy and oh-so-stylish all at the same time. A dress that works for any occasion and that would definitely stick around in the wardrobe way after the big event.

Rewritten
Set up by friends Katie Arnott and Frances Cookson who were frustrated by the choice of contemporary bridesmaid dresses out there and decided to create their own. Frances is a trained Fashion Designer and hand designs all of the collection in London with an emphasis on beautiful silhouettes and flowing fabrics.
They truly believe that no bridesmaids outfit should be worn only once and that is at the heart of everything they do. They have an amazing choice of contemporary styles and colours which you could use to go for that mismatched look; either picking different styles in same tone or the same style in different colour-ways.
