    Aren't there any Chinese/Taiwanese online shops like Landy Bridal which do a MOB range? :cry: Something like the Linea Raffaelli style but around £80 instead of £800? I've tried Landy and eDressit, but nothing suitable there.

    That's the problem Yellowbug, because she's going to be shopping in Sydney, all of the fabrics are going to be lighter weight and not at all suitable for a british winter environment (we Aussie's think that it's cold when it gets down to 11 degrees and drag out the winter coats!).
    Anyone have any recommendations of online stores?

    oh dear....ok ill have a think for online stores for you :)
    so do you need somewhere that delivers to aus? or just uk?

    Thanks Yellowbug,
    "where does your mum normally shop...maybe that would be a good start for her outfit?"
    She usually shops in charity shops,and buys lovely things, but I am trying to get her to buy a never worn before outfit for the wedding.Whatever it is Mum would never dream of paying full price(quite rightly so) so it would have to be an absolute bargain.I will suggest she looks at the Monsoon sale.

    lol fair enough
    do you have any outlet stores near you? monsoon outlets always have amazing bargains in them definetly worth a trip if you have one somewhere near by

    SAKS fifth avenue do international shipping now so worth a look at this US retailer.


    oh my god!!!!!
    right off to look at their online shop lol





    oh dont forget ladies.....next sale starts tomorow morning.......i normally get there for opening at 5am and grab my bargains, but im away this weekend so wont be abel to ....damn it lol

    Some good outfits here too http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category_10001_10001_60891_-1

    My Mum probably dresses a little older than yours but she still manages to pick up great items from charity shops etc. Phase Eight do lovely clothes (if your mum is size 14 or smaller) - you'd be surprised at how much high street shops cater for - particularly as it's now wedding season and lots of people need to buy an outfit for weddings (myself included!!)
    I love surprises!
