Jumpers for 'older' ladies. Please help!

My lovely MIL basically lives in the garden or on the allotment, so dresses practically but 'femininely'. Always, wears a skirt (even in the garden and the allotment!) but wears a certain style of sweatshirt.

I have only found the style I want on ebay (see pic) which is lovely, I'm guessing embroidered on a machine at home, but I would rather get her a proper brand.

I have tried online at all the usual places, bon marché, M&S etc but can't find anything. And googling 'embroidered floral sweatshirt' only brings up the likes of asos etc.

If anyone has any ideas of where I can look I'd be eternally grateful!

Dorothy Perkins has embroidered jumpers, my mum is 69 & still shops in there.

I actually also have a nice dark grey batwing sleeve jumper with black embroidery that could suit any age woman, from Dorothy Perkins.

spongebobjudgeypants it's this one. I'm not sure though. That said, there is currently 25% off, so might just go for it.

Thanks karenfromfinance but not really what I'm looking for (and a bit expensive!) I want to stick to what I know she likes making a rod for my own back

tierraj I did have a look at dp but couldnt see anything I thought would suit, thank you.

That looks fine to me! The motif is only a bit bigger than the one you showed originally.

It was one of the few that was 100% cotton. Everything else was acrylic or polyester. I am very susceptible to electric shocks Grin
