Los Angeles: Rocker Rod Stewart is facing a lawsuit over allegations he failed to pay for custom-made clothes he ordered for his 2007 wedding to Penny Lancaster.

Designer Karen Matthews has claimed in a suit filed at Los Angeles Small Claims Court that the Maggie May rocker ordered USD 7,500-worth of outfits for a string of bashes in 2007, including his Italian nuptials, reported TMZ.

Matthews has accused the 65-year-old singer of failing to pay up for the items, writing in court papers, "The clothes were never paid for in full and (Stewart) kept the rest of the clothes without ever returning what hadn't been paid for."

However, Stewart's representative has slammed the lawsuit, insisting the clothes were poorly made and "unusable"and the star was forced to search for a new weddin outfit shortly before the big day.

"(The wedding suit) wasn't produced on time and was ill-fitting and totally unusable. He had to buy a proper suitat the last minute," said the spokesperson. The lawsuit will be heard in court in November.
