A S&B stylista challenge - please help style a MOB......

I am a MOB and I have been looking for a suitable dress for ages.....

I am 5' 6", size 10, with blonde hair and fair skin and aged 60. Ideally I would like a dress in a cornflower blue shade (plain or floral) but not stripes or spots. A sort of special tea dress, it must be below the knee too and with some sort of sleeve.....

The shops seem full of 50s styles dresses which are not me. I don't want to look mutton-as-lamb, just elegant and part of my DDs special day. The wedding is not super formal, DD is wearing a gorgeous off wedding dress with crystal and pearl beading and SiL will be wearing a grey silk Italian suit. And the wedding is in July in the UK.

Thanks

What sort of budget OP? would, for example, this be enough sleeve? It claims to be cornflower but the colour is maybe too subdued.

Andthereshewas77 gosh that Monsoon dress is gorgeous!! I'm desperately trying to think of an occasion when I might wear that so I can justify getting it!

Thank you Mrs Lettuce and Andthere, lovely dresses, but I would like a deeper colour (not that I'm a Mobzilla :) ) and something more swishy as there will be dancing in the evening.

My budget would be 200-250 GBP.

This is Issa. Does it have enough "sleeve"?

MsBlandingsBuildsHerDreamHouse · 02/05/2016 16:46

Although I've just seen you'd like swishy. Which it isn't...

Sorry - I can't do short links ... How do you do it? Maybe not on the phone app.
