Wedding in an hotel.
I am nearly 60, size 12 (for the boobs, 32G, bottom half a 10, so inverted triangle), 165cm tall. Short hair (not grey). Brown eyes.
What to wear?
Prefer natural fabrics to synthetics.
Best feature: my ankles.

How are your arms holding up? What are your legs like below the knee? Can you wear heels?

You sound in amazing shape. Have you thought about booking a consultation with John Lewis? It’s free and they will stick within your budget.

Arms and legs are fine. Face relatively wrinkle-free.
Sleeveless not a good idea, I wouldn't want to show anyone up, especially anyone younger than I am.
Sadly nowhere near a John Lewis, so online a better option.

I think it is hard to style someone without knowing what suits them. Are you dressy in real life, do you favour tailored clothes, do you like dresses, what colour would you like. Personally, at the moment I like Issa which is available from House of Fraser, but Bruce Oldfield does a collection for John Lewis, both of which with assecories would be within your budget. Can you give more detail regarding what you would like. Phase Eight and Coast do some good occasionwear. Are you near a department store I know you said no John Lewis.

I agree we could do with knowing a bit more about your style but if it was me, I would start with Vivienne Westwood because I think she understands the realities of a middle aged woman's body better than any other designer I know. And there's a sale on at the moment which could put some stuff well within your budget.

For example this kind of thing although the colour may not be right for you.

I have ordered this online. I do tend to wear a lot of navy, though, so I might have a problem with the black.

Hadn't thought of Vivienne Westwood, so thanks for that suggestion.
