I some of you like a style challenge so...

[Happytodayhappytomorrow]

Winter Wedding.

Young at heart, woman in her 50s, needs a dress.

Her fantastic bits are her décolletage and her legs.

Her not so fantastic bits are her tummy and shoulders.

She likes colour.

She gets quite warm anyway and will also happily freeze (while she's pretending she's not) for the sake of looking fabulous.

Price range I think circa £100.

TIA

Here's 3 to start you off

Couple more

Thanks so much Defiantly41.

Some of them are too 'safe' me thinks.

She likes wow and vibrant and pizzazz.

I think she would love the silver one but perhaps for a party, not a wedding.

This?

This brand has a pop up at my local John Lewis and I kept circling back to it and specifically this dress…. For a wedding too, but I already have a dress so had to resist

These are all Ted Baker and lovely

Thank you all so much and Salsalove, I think you might have hit the jackpot .

With the rushing, these are fabulous around the tummy. Some great colours too.

🥳 It’s gorgeous isn’t it?

Salsalove, she loves the Hobbs dress, but not the colour

Ah well, it’s a BIG colour that’s for sure! But I think it helps to keep the silhouette from looking too conservative. 😁

Tbh it’s not much of a ‘challenge’. (That would imply some element of unusual difficulty, which you haven’t presented us with.)

(And is there a reason why the woman needing the outfit cannot join MN and make her own thread?)

Sorry but I think that Pink Hobbs think is monstrous.

Is 'she' you?

In fact, everything posted so far is pretty horrible imo.

What is 'her' budget?

for her wedding, or as a guest?

The challenge is to get a dress that is flattering for her shape, shows off her fabulous bits and draws attention away from her not so fabulous bits.

The women is not on Mumsnet as far as I know and is also busy doing shed loads of other more important things so I thought I'd have a hunt for her and see if I could help. You are, of course, under no obligation whatsoever to react to my request for help

as a guest

Coast have some lovely dresses

Something like the mustard dress Amal Clooney wore to the royal wedding? (Harry & Megan)?

This might be more suitable for a winter wedding.

I don’t think you’ve mentioned a size, OP.

(I admit I’m still somewhat irked by the entirely unnecessary words ‘Young at heart’ preceding ‘woman in her 50’s’.)

This is only half the budget so something left over for a great accessory.

Thank you. I think she will like that.
