There are agencies that deal in that kind of thing.
That's a good idea Carol although I'm not particularly bothered about "designer" labels! I may look into that.

I spent a lot of money on a Ann Balon mother of the bride outfit. It is beautiful but what's the good, it just hangs in my wardrobe for me to look and admire it! If l wore it to the supermarket, they'd laugh me out the door.
It was an utter waste of money!
I agree there but I think it will end up in the wardrobe and stay there afterwards! I am a casual dresser normally!

I've heard and read great reviews from both.

Take your footwear with you if that's what you know you will wear!

You are under no obligation to buy what they suggest...I think it sounds fun!
That's very useful to know, I was convinced they'd charge a fortune. Good suggestion regarding the footwear.

That sounds very comfortable. I am only 5'1" so something long would drown me. I'd need a small heal to give me a little height. I'm hoping to find some ankle boots that would fit the bill.

Have a great day, its not long now!

Whatever colour you choose for you main garment, check out the accessories are available to match with it before you buy it.
I bought a champagne colour dress and jacket for my daughter's wedding and had trouble finding a hat and shoes to go with it.
