Hi I am 70 and have been retired for 10 years. I changed direction when I retired and became an artist - loving it! I have been invited to take part in a delegation abroad to show of my skills and realise that my old business wear isn't appropriate (not sure I can get into in anyway) and that I need something to reflect my new creative identity. So far so good.
The problem I have is that I have injured my shoulder and it is unlikely to get better anytime soon so anyting with a back fastening or that needs wriggling into is out of the question. I thought I might manage a side fastening shift dress but not luck. HELP!!!
I am 5'0" and size 10

I think you should still be "you".
No point pretending to be someone else!

Agree totally on all counts NotSpaghetti. It has just been such a while since I shopped for anything other than walking gear I don't know where to start! Thanks for reminding me about Sahara

Why not try a shirt dress? They have buttons and come in all shapes and sizes. You can wear a cardigan and/ or jacket for cooler weather and you will look very smart.

Mama B is also worth a look.
