Looking for some inspiration for my lovely mum.
My brother is getting married in April and my mum needs an outfit.

She’s 65 and looks great for her age. Size 10/12.

Requirements are elegant, sleeves (elbow or longer) and knee length or longer.

Thank you Smile

Little wings factory have some lush dresses and are on sale

Thank you, I’m not sure little wings is her style, looking for something a bit more elegant.

Have you looked on the John Lewis website? Can search by length and sleeve length.

Sexnotgender · 26/12/2019 17:43

She has looked in John Lewis and also had a personal shopping day in store but hasn’t found anything she likes.

How about bombshell?

BloomedAgain · 26/12/2019 17:46

The bombshell dresses are good for this. I was at a wedding where the MoB wore a stunning green silk shirt dress by them.

Grin I like your thinking!

BloomedAgain · 26/12/2019 17:49

I have no occasion to wear one but may have to create one. Very flattering.

namestar · 26/12/2019 17:49

Condici and Inspirato were the two brands my mum wore for our weddings.

Might be worth looking at ladies boutiques instead of going mainstream JL. Depends on budget of course but now is a good time with sales coming up.

Don't know where you are in the country but in central Scotland the popular places are Bear Neccessities, Frox, Catherine's of Partick, Linzi Crawford and Chique if you want to look at their fb pages for inspiration. Good luck!!

Budget is around £300.

Nancy Mac. I have a lovely blue Christy dress for my son's wedding in the New Year.

Sexnotgender · 26/12/2019 18:39

Those Nancy Mac dresses are lovely.

Carla Ruiz - a Spanish designer/brand - found to be stylish but modern and 'just a bit different'.
