    Thanks.

    All elements of the outfit need help so all suggestions appreciated.

    These could be totally the wrong style (and they're veeery expensive) but my friend who's roughly the same size and age wore 2 Ann Balon outfits for her son's wedding recently and reckoned they were worth every penny (she paid around €400 for one and £50 for the other on Ebay). A few of the outfits have sleeves on the top/dress, all have jackets, and there's a couple of outfits with trousers rather than skirts.

    Thanks dee. Some of those are very long. She's hoping not to spend more than €250 - €300 so they'd be out of range. She's also not into buying online but I'm just looking for some ideas so we can visit a few places with some things in mind. Thanks though.

    Monsoon do lovely occasion wear (and have a sale on at the moment!) If you have a store near you, I'd definitely go in and have a look.

    Here's their occasion wear page - there's some beautiful (and completely non frumpy) outfits there! :)
