Mother of groom outfit needed

[honeysucklejones]

I've tried everywhere I can think of l, but cannot find a dress for my son's wedding.
Must be petite, size 6, fit and flare style, midi length, not too pale, not sleeveless. Budget up to £400
I've tried Hobbs, Next, Whistles, Phase Eight, Wallis etc

Well, some might say it’s a good thing you found nothing in those shops … Why not try:

https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/department/women/clothing/dresses/ (Ditto.)

https://www.theoutnet.com/en-gb/shop/clothing/dresses?facet=ads_f22536_ntk_cs%253A%25226%2522 (And again, filtered but may need repeating.)

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately none of those sell petite options.

What is your height, @honeysucklejones?

5' 1"

Is there a John Lewis near you . You may be able to get an appointment with a personal shopper . Or Frasers . Ever consider having something made for you ? Local dressmaker near you ?

Hmm … From the vantage point of just under 5’3, it would seem a shame to discount absolutely everything that might require a little alteration?

Rixo have some nice petite dresses https://rixolondon.com/products/meadow-dress-ava-devore-blue
And this is lovely but sleeves limited https://www.thereformation.com/products/petites-bryson-dress/1313399.html

The rixo dresses are nice, but not the style or colour I'm looking for. I suit fit and flare styles as I'm broad of shoulder and narrow of hip. Bridesmaids are in green and plum so would something that complements them and won't look out of place in photos

I'm 5'2" and got a lovely polka dot, fit n flare dress there that I wore to a wedding last year. I don't think it was even in petite, as fit and flare styles don't have a defined waistline.

This year I'm wearing this https://www.coastfashion.com/product/coast-petite-satin-trim-lace-shirt-midi-dress_bcc11852?colour=red as the grandmother of the bride.

This dress is sleeveless but paired with a bolero jacket in navy or one of the contrasting colours maybe? Shoes might even fit.
