UV protective clothing

A neighbour of mine has this condition and I really think if there was a product she would know about it.
She has had all the windows in her house and car tinted and she wears a hat pulled down all the time along with clothing galore.
She actually looks really eccentric but she would have bright red itching skin if she didn't.
This was brought on in her 60's during a very, very stressful
time.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a supplier of women's protective clothing? For my sins-prob goes along with the asthma-I have a photo sensitive condition which causes the most unsightly and itchy rash. I've just got rid of a flare up caused by sitting out at dd2's for 10 mins after school, it's taken 4 weeks and increasingly stronger steroid creams to settle it down. I was looking for a simple cardi/cover up with long sleeves. I know I can get Rohan type shirts/t shirts which are uv resistant but I would like something prettier that I can just pop on if I'm outside. ( I also carry factor 50 sunblock!! ) Any suggestions gratefully received.
