If you're humming and hawing about this trouser suit, just go for it. I wore it as the mother of the groom for the pre-wedding dinner and felt absolutely brilliant. It covers the tummy nicely, and the wide-leg trousers look just like a skirt when you're standing still.

If you're in two minds about wearing a trouser suit to a formal event, just go for this. It's incredibly comfortable. I wore it to a winter ball and it was lovely having my legs covered. The chiffon overlay is stunning and moves beautifully on the dance floor.

This is a really spot-on choice for a formal do. The material feels lovely and it drapes beautifully. I do wish the zip was a bit smoother, but once it's on it looks absolutely smashing. I had quite a few compliments from strangers at the drinks reception.

I was a bit nervous about the fit as I have a longer torso, but this trouser suit fitted beautifully. The waist sat exactly where it should. The pleated chiffon is really elegant and gives the outfit a lot of movement. Perfect for the evening wedding I went to.

This outfit is gorgeous and really well made. I bought it for a cruise and it was spot on for the captain's dinner. The chiffon is lovely and soft, and the pleats give it a nice shape. It's so comfortable to wear and looks brilliant in photos.
