please help!

tia

you sound very sad bk

I am sure you are lovely so will give you a northern slap

righty ho, tops? will have a look

what £££ are we talking?

BK the KEY is to finding a colour that suits you

how about lovely cashmere v-neck

can be dressed up with necklace,wear with black vest under and nice trousers,nice heels

change into wellies when going on walk

french connection, wear with black pants

how about the usual mumsnet standby

how about the usual mumsnet standby

lol

thats you that is

That's what the SIL will be wearing!
Remember BK, one man's 'attractive' is a sensible woman's 'tarty'.

How about having a look at Anusha? Their clothes are for proper grown up women with hips and breasts and other things that most designers don't seem to believe in. I just bought a wrapover top in red silk from their sale and it's really gorgeous.

I have been coveting this for ages www.anusha.co.uk/product.cfm?id=1760&p=1but decided against as I am a short arse. I think that something like that top with velvet trousers would make the most of your curves and height.

uniqlo bargain cashmere and some wideleg trousers plus fabbo accessories should do ya

Sorry I just noticces that that top only goes up to a 14, but they do larger sizes in other items.

thank you very much for all these suggestions. there is a lot to choose from here.

ggirlsbells, my work internet blocked that link whatever it is!

blu, she is not remotely tarty, just very elegantly and expensively dressed and very well groomed. thanks for the compliment [weak teary smile]

cod, i loved that ruffled tunic but largest size is 14.

patsycline, that is a really nice site. the clothes i fancied were the ones in the smaller sizes [sod's law emoticon]. the jewellery is gorgeous!

thanks also to olive, imbarryscott and bundle for great suggestions.

i feel rather cheered now, thank you all very much

so tunic idea is a goer?

that one you linked cod was good because it seemed to have some structure/tailoring - i.e. not so likely to make me look 4/5m pg! plus the ruffles looked rather chic i thought!

ah eys so this is no good or a bi glam gran..

lol at glamorous gran!

love that french connection tunic. i have wide leg black trousers...

go and look in the shops fgs

only met her at dfil's funeral . elegant rather than safe i'd say. prob not bleeding edge fashionista.

this christmas is going to be

whatever you buy you need a big statement necklace and a huge fakr orf fancy fake ring

I love the dress. Was looking longingly at it when Blu linked, as I appear to be your body double .

Not mad on the cardi...
