I'm off shopping with my Mum next week for her Mother of the Bride (me!) outfit and well, she's feeling a bit nervous. She isn't the worlds greatest shopper and as a result generally keeps to places like Devenhams and M&S which has left her in a total style rut. I know she is feeling like this is a chance to 'wow' so I thought I would turn to you lovely lot for some initial advice.
She's a size 18-20, 63, defined waist but essentially a pear shape. She's already bought some spanx to smooth out lines, ideally she would like a dress and a lightweight long line coat/jacket over it? Her worry areas are hips and neck and preferably she doesn't want to show too much upper arm. Wedding is beginning of May and informal.
Please help me help her - ideas for outfits are very welcome - and also shops that stock her size on the high street (London) would be great fully received.
