Dear MIL passed away this morning and I have to find a black jacket and trousers suit/outfit (don't wear skirts)

Looking for something to fit an hourglass figure, I'm size 14/16 and five feet eight...under £150

I've tried looking but my head is mince

thank you

Am so sorry.

Will look for you.

How about a jumpsuit with a jacket over?

Something like this or this or this with this or this on top.

Then you can add a scarf- either monochrome or a splash of colour if appropriate.

Are you ok?

am knackered though not as much as my poor husband- been a very hard few days. Thank you for asking and thank you for looking for me- I can't seem to take any information into my brain esp. visual stuff

Keep them coming please

So sorry.

Planet sale? I recently bought two work suits from them and they are good (can't afford full price).

For example jacket and trousers

I find the sizing extremely generous (am a 12-14 and fit into a 10).

Mind you they have a concession local to me - you probably will want something you can try on in the shop and get quickly?

I'm really sorry for your loss, but after having been to a couple of funerals very recently, I will NEVER again worry about what to wear - very few people stuck to the 'traditional all black thing.' One of the funerals was packed and people wore all sorts.

What I'm trying to say is don't worry too much. God, your poor dh Sad

Sorry for your loss.

I have a lovely black trouser suit from Matalan which I wear for work. Think it cost about £35 - but it is a really lovely fit - although I am a bit shorter than you but they do a long length trouser. Its a nice quality fabric for the money. May be worth a look.

thanks everyone...I really like the Planet outfit cruella- am off to trawl the depths of Darlington tomorrow to see if I can find it in Binns
