Mother of the bride trouser suit/long dress

Some of these are gorgeous: http://www.raishma.co.uk/asian-suits/trousers-suit.html

Quite dramatic and different, but I don't know your mum's taste. I'd try the usual BHS, Debenhams, Monsoon, East, Chesca, Phase Eight, Viyella, CC for inspiration.

My mum wants something long too but doesnt want trousers. Think we are gong to have to order online as not seen anything in shops. If you google mother of the bride long dresses then lots of sites come up. Heres a couple of examples of what my mum has been looking at....

Don't know what your mum is like (it wouldn't work for mine) but have you looked at bridesmaids dresses? The high street ones would fit the bill of long, posh, and could be paired with a jacket

A couple of examples

Thank you ladies. I was hoping to avoid online orders as she ordered her original dress offline so wanted to see if I could take her somewhere to try something on. I thought about bridesmaid dresses but she was wary of being seen as 'trying to be a bridesmaid' I think the problem is every image she sees are the just below the knee fitted dresses so she thinks long isn't right. I thought my dress would be a tough one but hers is harder lol

Thank you for the links. They don't look like traditional bridesmaid dresses so I wonder if I could deny all knowledge of knowing they are bridesmaids lol

Actually they both came under evening dresses rather than bridesmaid, so no problem! They have a few that look less bridesmaidy, could be worth a look.
