Need some advice on where to take my mother shopping

[GibbsGirl]

I'm going to take my mum shopping in a couple of weeks. We haven't been shopping for a while as she hasn't been well and will actually probably not be able to shop for long as she still gets tired easily. She is 73, size 14/16 and can't wear heels and we need something for lunch at the races. Does anyone have any ideas for either outfits or good shops please?

Have a look at

Both of them are sold in large department stores, so easy to try on if there's anything she likes. Another label that may suit is Liz Claiborne - I couldn't find an online site however.
Given the weather is so dodgy at the moment though, would she consider either a lightweight wool/silk mix, or a linen trouser suit?

She does like trousers so a trouser suit migh be just the thing. I'll google Liz Claiborne thanks

I recently had a lot of success with FennWrightMason with my 69 yo mother. They are in House of Fraser, and we went to Meadowhall (Sheffield).

We'll be in Norwich & they have a House of Fraser. What did your mum choose?

Thanks Waswondering have put this on the list too.

Oops those

Have you used a personal shopper instore? Mum doesn't like a lot of fuss so wouldn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. Was just thinking I'd do it myself.

Defintely go for a personal shopping appointment -- a person bring clothes to you is so much easier than trolling around.

Two if there are two department stores close to each other -- example one appt at 10:30 and another at 2pm with lunch in between.

Will call and ask about the personal shopper.

Like the dress, will try and find a jacket to go with it, thanks

Oh that's a good find she'd like that and it's single breasted, better for a large bust I think.
