Do you remember the jacket that and I mcdowell wore in four weddings and a funeral?

[therootoftheroot]

I want something like that.
Have seen amazing lk Bennett skirt , black with huge white spots. Have got fabulous black hat.
If I can get a fab top like that I would have my perfect wedding outfit for this summer wedding.

Can anyone help?

Andi mcdowell ffs!

Er it's a bit 90s! Can you update the look a bit?

Any suggestions would be fab.
Am tall , big norks.

What do lk Bennett style it with?

A sleeveless high necked knit top which would look hideous on me. Really. You would have to be really flat chested and willowy to wear it. I am neither!

Actually no sleeveless. .just checked. Short sleeved. But very high necked.

Was it a big cream double breasted cropped jacket?

What I remember was the neckline. Deep v neck with wide lapels.
It would need to be shortish I think with that skirt. I 2antvto link but my phone won't let me.

Op a quick google search is all it takes to get a picture.

Yes it's great isn't it? I had done that already.
What I am asking is has anyone seen anything similar for sale now?
Or anything with a similar neckine?

I wasn't just asking what the original top looked like.

What I mean is, it would help us mumsnetters if you put a picture up so then someone might actually know what you are talking about rather then all of us thinking . You might actually get a response that is helpful! Not everyone will be bothered to google it, I'm just trying to help you out!

I imagine anyone replying will actually remember it...

Erm, it's very dated. And beige-cream is a bit Per Una...

Is this the skirt?

that IS the skirt
i absolutely LOVE it

i can't do double breasted -again for norky reasons
very matronly

Sorry Art I was just trying to help the Op out, I certainly didn't remember it. I just thought pop a picture on and the Op would have a better response.

Honestly, I would do yourself a favour and swerve it. It aged her terribly and it was en vogue at the time.

TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE POUNDS and they can't be arsed to match the patterns at the seams???

and that is a double breasted jacket, I think if you have a splendid bosom you are going to look like a ship in full sail with that mahoosive collar and giant buttons.

Hobbs used to do a lot of jackets like that so I'd keep an eye on ebay - anything here?

Or you could tweak the look a bit, especially if you don't suit double breasted e.g. instead of the jacket, try a cropped cardi? Or very fitted tuxedo? (if the length works) or even look for a cream biker jacket if you can find a decent fake one ( I wouldn't want to splash out on cream leather). Admittedly I'm not sure how that would look with the hat but hopefully you get my drift - just play around with a few different shapes.

But if you want the whole look, why not? The film was over 20 years ago and anyway the 90s are back.

Buster I don't know why you are apologising

Because I felt like my being helpful was anything but??? I read the original Op and didn't really know what she was after so I googled it and tried to be helpful! Jeez, I won't do that again! 😂

can't do right for doing wrong

I do try Jane the biggest blow is I've wasted one of my picture quotas on it, that's gratitude for you. I loved Four weddings and a funeral, I had it on video and loved Hugh Grant at the time, I couldn't remember that bloody jacket! Oh well.

I wouldn't do double-breasted for the large breasted. And I doubt you'll get a neckline similar to that (thank you for the useful picture Buster) without a double-breast. I think a simple blazer will look nicer. I'll go and have a look for some suggestions.

Lol, thanks Breathe glad to have been of service.
