Mother of the bride outfit. Help needed.

[MadCatLadyInWaiting]

After trailing around shops for hours my mum finally came across a dress she liked for my wedding

We couldn't find a jacket to go with it though. Ideally something with 3/4 sleeves. A shop assistant suggested navy as a colour choice. Anyone seen anything that would go? We'd need to find shoes too!

Coast has some lovely coats that might go with that dress. I don't know the colour in real life.
I think a coat can be more stylish if you are shortish. Of course your Mum might be a supermodel!

Shortish pretty much sums her up!

I'll have a look at coast online, thanks. Had a bit of a nose in the department stores but you don't often see much of the range.

I was having a mooch round the shops this morning and they caught my eye.

So everyone likes the coast one then?

Thanks, I'll see what she says to the suggestions so far. Any more?
