Bev, try Debenhams - they have a personal shopper at the larger ones - whihc is free so your mum can sit down take it easy and get someone else to run arround fidning outfits - their prices vary . Or John Lewis - their Jonelle range which is their ' own brand' seems to be really good value and they seem to do loads of different stuff. Or what about the high street stores such as Principles, Wallis, Laura Ashley (not all flower prints now !!) , Talbots, Anne Hravey - the list goes on. Go to Bluewater or Miltin Keynes whichever is nearest - I;m sure she will find something.
