by Helena Buxton 22 Sep 2025
Ann Balon three-piece outfit camisole jacket skirt

For mothers of the bride or groom who want romance, refinement, and real comfort, Ann Balon is a dream. Think exquisite Italian lace, softly structured shapes, and outfits designed to respect curves—so you look and feel amazing from ceremony to last toast.

At Ever Elegant in Melbourne, we carry a curated selection in store and can check UK availability to bring in alternative sizes or colours when possible.

About Ann Balon

For more than 30 years, Ann Balon has crafted occasionwear with an artisanal Italian touch. The story begins above Positano, where skilled seamstresses use traditional techniques: hand-cut lace, batch dyeing, and unique texturing (including gentle stone-washing with pumice) to create lace that feels luxurious yet wearable. The result is a collection with a distinctly romantic, unstructured elegance—soft on the body and beautiful in motion.

What Makes Ann Balon Different

  • Comfort that doesn’t show: discreet elasticated waistbands on skirts and pants for an easy, secure fit

  • Flattering cuts: bias-cut skirts; camisoles and jackets cut to skim and disguise “tricky” areas

  • Cool, lightweight linings: dresses, skirts, and pants are fully lined for shape and ease

  • Versatility: elegant dress-and-jacket or three-piece outfits you can mix and re-wear

  • Colour range: from soft pastels to vibrant tones across seasons

Signature Styles You’ll Love

  • Lace dress & jacket sets (or long coats) with subtle appliqué and gentle sparkle

  • Two- and three-piece outfits (camisole + jacket + skirt/pants) that glide over the figure

  • Soft Italian styling with flowing movement and beautiful texture

  • Pieces that can be separated and re-styled beyond the wedding day

Sizes & Fit at Ever Elegant

Ann Balon’s timeless designs are also available in plus sizes. Many styles run from XL–4XL (approx. AU 16–26), with selected designs to 5XL–6XL (approx. AU 26–30). We’ll guide you on sizing and suggest simple alterations (hems, sleeve length, subtle shaping) for a made-for-you finish. As always, we keep limited, one-per-size runs so your look stays uniquely yours.

Special orders: If we don’t have your perfect size/colour in store, we can check UK stock and, when available, arrange to have it sent over.
