Phase Eight have nice styles, not too short either.

Start with your favourite colour. Try Debenhams, they're discounting. Take your best friend with you to help. I'm sure you will be beautiful. All good wishes for the future.

I'm sure it was very expensive but I thought Camilla looked very nice and appropriate in her wedding outfit. A version of that could be lovely ie a short dress with same length coat in the same fabric. Or even 'winter it up' by using winter colours and a fake fur trim? Boots would go well with that look.

I'd go Julie Chrustie/Dr Zhivago with a long fitted wool coat, fur collar and hat. Maybe even the muff! (Sigh)

I like the look so much I might even ask OH to marry me ?

If you look at Roman, or Klass, you might find something suitable at a reasonable price?
Congratulations!!

I would go for a smart winter suit, probably a trouser suit as that is what you are comfortable in, with a pretty blouse in a contrasting colour to match your flowers.
Many congratulations. ??

Depends if you want it to be a wedding dress or not. If no I’d suggest a plain dress with possibly a nice coat over it or a pashmina. Possible options would be Hobbs, monsoon.

No help on styles or brands really, but congratulations!

I imagine it won’t be a huge affair at the present time. A village church setting sounds lovely.

If it were me, I would choose something that I felt comfortable in, warm enough for December (church cold probably), and reasonably practical for afterwards, if you are usually casual.

Have a lovely day!

My long-term partner and I are getting married in our village church in December. I’m just 70 and since I retired, I wear little other than joggers and jumpers, slippers or wellingtons. I can’t remember the last time I bought (or needed) anything smart to wear. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a suitable style of clothing I could buy and which brands (not too expensive!) to look at?
