Lucy Mecklenburgh is one of the most stylish celeb mums out there, so the hype around her family fashion collection with Very, featuring gorgeous, beachy co-ords, BBQ-ready dresses perfect for Spring/Summer, plus outfits for your little ones too, is definitely big. It launched on the April 24th and it's incredibly hard to not want every single fabulous look.
This is Lucy's first collection with Very and it includes 69 clothing items for mums, UK sizes 8-20, and kids, ages 9 months to 7 years old. Each piece was designed to look and feel good, combining effortless style with quality materials that are breathable for the warmer months. What's even better is that all of the childrenswear compliments the womenswear, so you and your mini-me can look the part together.
When reflecting on her debut collection, Lucy said “My entire Very collection was selected so that mums and kids alike can have those easy, throw on pieces, but are still on trend and fashionable. I love the sage green jumpsuit, the gingham midi dress, and the cream linen jumpsuit, all of which are easy to throw on, and let you feel comfortable yet stylish.
"With wedding season fast approaching, I will definitely be wearing the fuchsia maxi dress, it is so gorgeous, and an absolute statement piece! I’ll be dressing the kids in the collection too – Lilah will love the orange mini dress, and Roman is all about the t-shirt and short sets.”

Is Lucy's collection with Very for everyone?
We'd say this family fashion collection is incredibly versatile and designed for all types of women and children. For a debut collaboration, the style and size range is great and we love the variation of colours and prints. All the items are advertised as 'true to size' which is promising, plus the quality looks like it's amazing for the price too.
