Please help my mum find a wedding outfit plus coat!

[DaisyHayes]

My lovely mum has terminal cancer and probably only has a few months left.

She has a family wedding to go to in December and she really needs some help in sourcing an outfit. It really needs to be something she can buy online as she's not up to the shops.

She is only 5'2" and is now (sadly) only about 7 and a half stone so probably a size eightish. She was always quite voluptuous previously though with a very large bust, so she looks a bit, errmm, deflated (?) and her skin is a bit saggy.

She is a youngish 58 - fond of strappy heels and and Per Una/Monsoon/Phase Eight etc. Her hair is quite sparse now (chemo) and in a sort of flicked out bob.

The dress code is cocktail/black tie.

Also - sorry!- a coat?

Any suggestions at all greatly appreciated.

PhaseEight always do lovely pieces - either through their site or John Lewis etc who have free returns.

East also has some nice stuff.

Good luck to you and your Mum. Tough times x

So sorry to hear about your mum, Daisy. All the best to both of you.

What sort of budget does she have?

Favourite colours?

Does she want a full length coat or a jacket?

How about something like this dress with this?

I think L K Bennett site would be worth looking at, as well as Hobbs. All best wishes.
