What brands? (For 80 year old mother)

My glamorous (but very fussy) mother needs a wedding outfit. She is 80. She isn't able to go shopping and I am trying to find suitable stuff but not near a city so looking online. So far, three outfits have been rejected/returned...
Now she has decided what she really wants is something that is a dressy longline jacket/tunic, over a trousers. (Maybe chiffon floaty jacket) I can't think of what brands to look up on line - or what exactly to search for. I think they fall under 'mother of the bride' type outfits.
Does anyone know what brands do this type of outfit?

Hampstead Bazaar do that kind of thing, my mum has a couple of their outfits, she’s had them for years and they still look glam. I think their stuff comes in one size, she’s gone from a size 14 to a size 8 (illness sadly) but they seem to fit her anyway?

Hampstead Bazaar is a great shout - Judi Dench always wears them.

A trawl through John Lewis suggests that Chesca are worth a try. I think they’re a plus size brand though so won’t work if your mum is small. Might also be worth giving Harrods website a look - they stock a bunch of brands other people don’t for people who don’t give a toss about being on trend.

Shibumi might have something that would please. It's all fairly ageless and timeless, but colourful, so good for wedding outfits.

Thanks everyone! That's exactly the kind of thing she's looking for. Off to google now...
