Help me find a dress for my mum to wear to a wedding - she's just finished having chemo and I want to help her look and feel her best

My mum has asked me to help her find a dress for a wedding in July. Like I said she's just finished 9 months of chemo and I'd love to help her look and feel her best.

So, fashion gurus out there what can we find?

She's 5'7", size 12/14, pear shaped but with a well defined waist. Fitted dresses with a defined waist but flared or flowing below knee length skirt suit her (definitely not a shift dress). 'V' necks are good. She wants sleeves at least to just above elbow length.

Colour wise not pastel or neutral - something brighter. If patterned probably a bold rather than 'ditsy' pattern. She has white hair and olive skin and is a young 75.

Budget under £100.

Some lovely dresses in the sal at Phase8.

The category is Dresses with Sleeves. SmileSmileSmile

Look on John Lewis. You could book her a style consultant session - free- or just look online. They have a great selection and will stick to your budget

I was looking at House of Fraser today and they had some really nice dresses. What about this Alexon dress?
