Dress my mum please!

I know this is more WP, but loads of you on here are good with clothes and 'know' me. My mum needs a mother of the bride outfit that will suit a 60 something woman. She is a size 14, with a bit of a tummy so the style needs to flatter or hide this as she is very conscious of it. Nothing much above knee length and she also wants a jacket/bolero - short or long sleeve. I have no idea about fashion or what suits different people really and am going shopping with her in a few weeks so would like to have somewhere to start. All I know is, the Jacques Vert style dresses do nothing for her.

So, come on, you've got half an hour to kill on a Friday afternoon at work - get shopping!

    My mum wore a long dress from monsoon with a pashmina wrapped round her shoulders (and a hat).

    you can get some nice trouser suits too that are quite feminine.



    we got lots of ideas from the very website.

    Really only £200 ish. My parents don't have a lot of money and she probably doesn't spend that amount in a year on clothes. I've had a look online at some of the local mother of the bride shops and their outfits seem to range from £600-800 which I know she cannot afford.
