Trouser suit

Hi, we're getting married in march and though I'm not flapping yet I've been looking around for a nice trouser suit to wear. We're getting married at the registry office and I'm not a dress type person. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to where i might be able to find one.. seen a few, but they're just not me, (either too young looking or too old looking) I'm 39,tall and overweight so wanted something flattering (longline jacket etc) that doesnt make me look old, in a pale colour, pref cream, or maybe even white. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :D

    Dont know if they have anything to suit but a few suggestions are Hobbs, Long Tall Sally, Phase Eight. All do some really lovely clothes. Maybe try a big department store like Debenhams etc as you will have lots of different choice of stores.

    Also, I thought I wasnt a dress person until I got married in one. You could maybe try some on to see how you feel.

    Good luck

    Try Roman Originals. My Mum came to Cyprus with 4 dresses from their outlet store to choose from for my wedding. I also had a look at Christmas (age 41). I didn't see trouser suits as I find dresses more flattering and as both Mum and I are "more to love" I can vouch their dresses were flattering. I am sure they will also have trouser suits and if you can find an outlet you will be quids in.
