& the joy I can imagine it would bring the dear old lady - go ahead & get her something pretty & florally made up.I'm sure she would be over the moon to know you thought of her.I'm sure your sister would somehow be able to get a good idea of her size & Aristo is pretty good in sizes & as you know deals with many Aussies on a daily basis.His showroom is very upmarket looking & fully airconditioned but don't be scared off & think this reflects anyway in his pricing.Also don't worry he hasn't retired <VBG>
The other thing to keep in mind is that the old lady may have someone in her family who could probably make minor alterations to the dress if the size wasn't quite right.Go ahead & do it & made the dear old ladies day !
BTW - hope you can spend more time catching up when you are next over this side of the woods.
Don't forget Nanda leather across the road does nice shoes as well as Aristo.I think the man I see there is called Terry,he probably won't remember me though.
