    Thanks Shelly, i suggested a personal shopper appointment for her in Debenhams and she recoiled in fear!!! I dont know if its a confidence thing or she genuinelly doesnt know what to wear!!!

    I had a personal shopper at Debs for a wedding where I didn't know anyone! (first outing as the new girlfriend) It was so cool, it really boosted my confidence as I knew I looked fab. (Booked a makeover at Estee Lauder the same day too.) Perhaps your Mum would reconsider?
  • Hi

    I dont know how much you wish to spend my MIL has just got her outfit and she likes her knees covered she thinks they are too skinny!! MIL managed to get a brand new raw silk condici outfit on ebay for £100 they retail at £550-£750 and they are traditionally cut beneath the knees!!
    Debt at LBM £19700 :eek:
    Arrears £4800

    Please help me convince my mum that shes amazing and i want her to look a million dollars on my special day too!!!

    The problem is I've offered to pay for my mums outfit for our wedding (ive paid for everyone elses so far) and felt it only fair to buy hers for her too the problem is she feel slike she doesnt deserve to have a nice expensive outfit and has started looking in places like primark and QS for it!!!

    Please help me convince her that she deserves to look amazing!!!

    I have the exact same predicament! Plus a mother who has a fear of shops!!! :(
