You could try your local selling sites on Facebook? You could even post a wanted add.
That's if you "do" Facebook….

Have you tried Planet?Got my Mob outfit from there and were really helpful . Bought a dress that I would never have picked out myself but looked completely different on. Good luck

Do you have Streetlife in your area? Local message board type forum. Free to join, post you want a dressmaker and you'll get recommendations.
I lived in Cyprus when my daughter got married in the UK. She wanted Autumn colours and I already had a straight orange silk dress ( sounds vile, looks nice) Local dressmaker made me a chocolate brown shot silk duster coat. Bought shoes and bag in Larnaca and whole outfit set me back £60.

Have you tried Phase Eight? They do larger sizes and not all pencil style

I was going to suggest that , nice dresses with a jacket can be worn again as I find one outfit events a total waste of money!
Although it is a very special occasion and an important role for the day MOB!
When we got married my gran who was 87 wore the same outfit 2 years later for my sisters wedding! She stole the show!!
Good luck!

I know some of these look a bit dull, but they are all wide fit and choice of colours plus there are some heels. They are incredibly comfy shoes to wear.

I like the Donna heels, I think my hubby might regret you posting this site

Orange dress sounds lovely. I think that's the colour I want. I'll try the dress maker idea.

If you have a fabric shop/haberdashery in your nearest town they may have a notice board which should give you local dressmakers - or they can advise you. They are a rare resource now but the impact of the BBC sewing bee programme means there are more people advertising services.

I have the same problem with big feet but had a few pairs from here they were really helpful on phone too.

I too wouldnt rule out the charity shop route, if only for accessories, find a posh one! my mum got a beautiful outfit for my daughters wedding from the local hospice shop near us, at 82 she looked amazing, I took the outfit and hat back to the shop 18 months later she had paid about £80 I think. I also took back my hat that cost a fortune ... I knew I would never wear it again.

 

[Jac Sprat]

Thanks Granjan I haven't heard of them
Also streetlife is a whole new discovery! Thanks Hollyberry!

I looked for a smart trouser outfit for our daughter's wedding four years ago as dresses don't suit me. Bought a lovely three piece outfit with palazzo trousers from a shop called Chesca, they have departments in House of Fraser I think. Good luck with your search.

 

[Jac Sprat]

I'm delighted to say I found an outfit I like at Dreams Bridal in Rackheath which has a big sale on.

However I now need shoes and am a wide size 9. Does anyone have any ideas where I can go for big blue shoes? (Brantano is a good idea. Thanks )
I have discovered 'shoes of prey' custom made but at a hefty £150 not cheap! (Katie long shoes was also a good website for big feet )

 

[Anthea M]

Lovely dress ,you will look beautiful! Have a wonderful day!!

Don't forget to exfoliate your elbows every day for 8 weeks before the wedding.

That was on my wife's pre wedding check list

Lovely suit ! and errr, eminently, well, suitable!

I see that with turquoise headgear (not necessarily a hat, but something to set off your Barnet LOL) and bag but you do have shedloads of choice with shoe colour at least, really, in view of the beige/sepia tones in the material in addition to the blue.

May I also suggest a more noticeable (not too noticeable though!) perhaps very slightly longer necklace - as the one in the photo doesn't show up too well, unlike your bracelet - and that's a shame. And it would 'show off' the soft neckline better too methinks.

 

[houdini]

You look lovely!

There's a place near us that does larger shoe sizes:
www.tallgirls.co.uk

Looking forward to seeing your completed outfit later.

Looking great - hope you find some suitable accessories. You will look lovely - just right

 

[Jac Sprat]

Thanks for all the nice remarks. So glad I didn't go for a pencil and bolero number as that is not me.
Yes that wasn't the final outfit just the dress- having blue 'pearls' made for me and a fascinator to add later. Just ordered these shoes - peep toe .

Custom made from shoes of prey - sadly they soak up the discount left over from the sale dress . Well that's a good way to explain £150 shoes to hubby haha.

 

[dippingatoe]

They look lovely - will really set your outfit off
