I didn't find anything but I think that was probably because I was unsure of what to buy... I'll get my daughter to help with the pic later.. have a great day and tks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-71259 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:21:23 +0000 Angie 71259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shuberi. Let’s see a pic of you in the outfit and get sorted. We’ll have you looking fab in a frock in no time. Have you tried Stuttafords? Do you live in CT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-71201 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 21:05:21 +0000 Louise 71201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definately post pictures if you can, especially of you wearing the outfit- we love pictures here it's so much easier to comment/ offer advice with a visual x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-71136 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:50:00 +0000 shuberi 71136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your replies.. Angie I would say closer to a size SA 14. The wedding is at 2pm but there is also an evening function. I probably need to buy 2 outfits. I am not a succesful shopper and tend to buy separates. My "Style" of dress is pretty antrogenous really as it's what I feel comfortable in. Trousers.cami, Shirt etc. That goes for work and going out. Jeans T-shirt/cardi for casual.. Pretty boring - thats why I'm in such a dilemma.. When I put on a dress I feel like my gran. I have bought an outfit from Daniel Hector which I love.. On the hanger! Its a skirt (mid calf) and a tunic top. Beige with Brown geometric print. I thought I would try to find a jacket that fastens just under the bust in beige linen?? but I'm sorry to say that It's hanging in my room and I've yet to try it on.. I will have to take full length photo and post it on site for comments. Think I need a stylist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-70860 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:43:19 +0000 Angie 70860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Sheberi! I'm Dutch (from the Netherlands) but my husband is from Cape Town, SA and I know folks who live in Exeter, UK. You’ve come to the right place. </p> <p>Is it a day or evening wedding? Are you 12/14 South African size? </p> <p>Where do you like to shop in SA? I used to be a fashion buyer there too and know the retail enviroment in that neck of the woods like the back of my hand. We'll get you sorted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-70793 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:11:09 +0000 Debora 70793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Shuberi!</p> <p>Many of us use Photobucket to post our pictures.

It is formal but not black tie.. I'm not normally a "frilly" dresser. I'm 54 and a size 12/14 - height is 5'6". I can tell you I'm short waisted but still have good legs (so I'm told). I really just want a more sophisticated look than a dress which I feel will look matronly. I will post a picture and look forward to your help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-70507 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 13:57:36 +0000 Louise 70507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you post a picture of yourself to give us an idea of your body shape and what would suit you (you can black out your face if you'd feel more comfortable). Also what is your style and is the wedding formal, black tie e.t.c then there'll be no stopping us x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mother-of-the-groom#post-70472 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 03:19:21 +0000 shuberi 70472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son is getting married in Exeter Uk in August. It's an afternoon (2pm) wedding. As I am from South Africa I have no idea what to wear. </p>
