My mum is, um, fussy shall we say when she is trying to choose anything, so yesterday I took her unawares and went shopping with her and we came away with an outfit for the wedding for her. I think she looks lovely in it, but she didn't really want a dress (although she is not a large lady (she has tiny legs!) she does have a slightly rounded tummy, as many women in their 60s do). I persuaded her to try a few dresses as I thought we could find some that would flatter her, which we did and I think she was pleasantly surprised. We also managed to find a fascinator and a handbag to compliment the dress. She really wanted a little suit, she feels like she needs a jacket to be complete. I think the dress looks gorgeous on it's own, and because it has little capped sleeves, she doesn't need a jacket, but I obviously want her to be comfortable on the day. In addition, we are getting married in August and if it's warm (not guaranteed, I know!) she might be too hot in a jacket. Here's a picture of the dress, bad and fascinator. Can you tell me your thoughts please (is it special enough for MOTB, does she need a jacket, do you like it, etc) - be honest!
