any website recommendations for clothes

Can anyone recommend websites (or shops in the Bristol/Gloucester area) that sell slightly offbeat clothes for older women. I'm in my 50s and a size 18/20 and want something nice but not too expensive to wear to a wedding. I've looked on the Phase 8, Laura Ashley type websites, but they have a lot of shift dresses or jersey wrap dresses which don't suit me at all, and maxi dresses, which I would feel silly in (for some reason).
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions, especially as its only 3 weeks to the wedding, and I'm hopeless at clothes shopping.

Don't be put off by the title of this website but it has a lots of different brands and outfit ideas to give you inspiration. Good luck especially as in 3 weeks time who knows what the weather will be doing! www.motherofthebrideoutfits.org.uk/

GetCutie might be worth a look. I love their half sleeve dress.

and try and avoid matching bag and shoes if you can (a pet hate of mine, so damn dated) Grin

thank you both so much for the suggestions. I really like the Get Cutie site and the suggested dress. Would it be OK to wear to a wedding? (the last one I went to was 30 years ago, so I really have no idea).

I think so.

The black and cream eiffel tower print, red shoes and a bag like this would be great. As a random example.
