Wedding outfit for 80 year old guest?

A simple dress with maybe a little detail but no pattern would be great. A floaty, jacket with 3/4 length sleeves to finish it off in a colour that suits you.

I think yellow suits you too Hellogirl

I’m another one who would say to look for a midi dress. I’m short too and don’t like showing my legs so they are ideal. I bought a nice one in Next. It’s a turquoisey floral one with lovely loose short sleeves. I have a special occasion coming up where I’m going to wear it but also when just going out for a meal.
Hope you find something suitable ?

Don't forget to think about shoes- comfortable shoes will be important, and their style may give you some colour guidance.

That`s problem number 2 Chocolatelovinggran, my right foot is very swollen, has been since I broke my back over 2 years ago, and I have trouble getting footwear on. I have one pair of OLD sandals which I can get on, but the velcro straps keep popping undone.

Would it be worth getting your sandals repaired and dyed?
A diy job or fin a shoemonger.

You could put a bit of detail the matches the one on your dress.

You look lovely in that yellow outfit ? and you’re not fat, you’re just built for comfort not for speed!

Not fat... fluffy.

Mum was soft, fluff and beautiful, a bit older, just as you, when she attended her most important wedding (apart from her own).

Please don't laugh at my very good solution.

It was years ago, no Amazon, no softy fleece. I bought something close to this, she felt comfortable and looked wonderful.

Amazon: Women's slippers, swollen feet -- there are many reasonably priced, attractive slippers for swollen feet

Dragging this back up again, I thought seeing as I started it I should finish it as well. Here is what I`ve eventually bought for said wedding, plus silver sandals and bag. I just wish it would look as good on me, lol!

Thank you for finishing this off. Many never do this. Very thoughtful. I was anticipating a photograph. Any chance? Irrespective, I hope you had a lovely time if the wedding has taken place.

Aah....August.... Have a lovely time.

I think the three tops up thread are dreadful.

You look really lovely in the yellow outfit, so wear that again or use it as your examplar to buy a similar outfit, also in a zinging colour.

Abstracts are meant to be back in according to GD so one with an abstract pattern which would blur your shape not that it is any different to most of us. How about a midi dress with a handkerchief hem? There are lots of ones around with elasticated waists. As you use a stick I would go for a lightweight jacket/bolero plain coloured picking out one of the colours in the dress. Could you hire a hat? Instead of buying.

The photo didn`t load, and still won`t, maybe tomorrow?

Nope, still not working.

So pleased you revisited this thread, hope you manage to load the picture. Perhaps a link to the sell web page would work?
