Wedding Outfit Desperation!!!

My Wonderful Son is getting married at the end of November ... small wedding in a London town hall (beautiful room - very much like a church).

I must have spent days and days trying to find something to wear. I live in jeans and dungarees although can manage a dress if it goes with chunky boots.

I am 63, have become more busty and rounded in the middle and can be either a size 14, 16 or 18! I suit scoop necks best and would really like something quirky and a bit bohemian as really wouldn't suit any traditional mother of groom type dresses. I have an idea of round neck, 3/4 length sleeves ... maybe empire line?... with assymetric hem... Oh!.... to be able to sew !!

We live in Southern Ireland so has to be company that will do European Delivery....

Would so so appreciate any links to different websites than usual ones ... there must be something out there !!!!!

With Grateful Thanks1

Son got married in September and I didn't want to wear a dress... I wore a burgundy velvet jumpsuit and a navy cardigan. It worked very well and I got compliments.

How about not wearing a dress? Wearing trousers. Maybe a trouser suit? With a scoop neck top?
There is a really lovely teal velvet one in m and s at the moment

How about one of these dresses from Brora? www.broraonline.com/women/dresses-skirts. The quality is great and you might find the look you want.
