what about a dress in red and white gingham check ? with a yoke, with ruffles (flattering to many figure types) -- shirtwaist sort of dress but with cotton lace to make it dressy rather than school-marm-ish ... could also be a skirt and blouse combo ...
yes, Western suits are actually fairly easy to get --- and for Western style clothing, one recommendation is Petticoat Junction in south Everett -- they have a website and they're really neat people (focusing on square dance clothing, but much of it is "street legal" too)

if you want "borrowed" -- DH has a nifty western shirt, white with embroidered red and blue roses on the yoke ....
(don't know if you would consider that "tacky" or not)
dress darkwash jeans are often considered "Western dress up wear" .. also a string tie, since guys are much more comfortable wearing those rather than a conventional knotted tie
to coordinate, you could wear an embroidered jeans skirt ?
just tossing some ideas around
your daughter in Wyoming may know of good Western clothing stores there, too
actually I will be going down there in Oct, but, I have lived there and Casper only has one, as much as Wyoming is "the Cowboy state" They really don't have a lot of Western stuff, Cheyenne may have a little more, but, not sure I could make it down there before I left!! Thanks for the ideas and the websites!! All good to ponder!!
I forgot, or at least didn't mention because it's very much a Wetside thing, but there's a great western wear place in Centralia, Centerville, at the very north end of the outlet mall west of the freeway. Spendy, though, although all western wear tends to be.
because they got in the wat while I was spray painting.
