Please help my mum to find a MoB dress for my wedding

We are struggling to find a suitable mother of the bride dress for her to wear. She is a size 8-10 5'3" with medium brown hair and fair complexion.

The problem is she is quite thin so needs something that will cover her upper arms, collarbone and length of on the knee or below.

I would say that the budget would be up up to £150.

I took my sister to a large John Lewis and got the personal shopper to help. She something gorgeous she'd never normally have chosen and it was in the sale!

Satin navy blue.

I like the pink dress Karbea although over budget she might be able to stretch to that. I think the blue will show too much collarbone area.

Thanks Over will book a personal shopper at Bluewater I think.

Would she like this? www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_54488+03193291_-1 She could wear it with grey/silver/navy/ivory accessories and if the neck is too bare, how about a long, thin, silky scarf or pashmina that she could drape around her shoulders or around her neck and down the back IYSWIM.

Black and white print.

The pink is lovely, I know it was a bit over budget, but thought it was so nice ;) I'm not very good at budgets, just ask my dh

Red cowl neck.

Karbea · 13/04/2014 11:38

Animal print.

Also can't have long sleeves as its a wedding abroad so will be hot.

This is why we are finding it so difficult!

Thanks for the other suggestions will show them to her, best to try on and see. I don't think we'll go for any with black in as want nice and bright for the sun :)
