I might not wear trousers or short skirts, but would never go out without me pants

:-D

Just had a look at Sixteen47 - but they say they don'/t give inside leg length for trousers which I really want to know - they just give the complele trousers length,

And when I typed search for "trousers" and "jeans" they said there was nothing - I had to type "pants"!

got bony knobbly knees and hairy legs do you Graham ?????


:-D :-D :-D

I wouldn't look good in a short skirt either :-D

For blouses to fit the more endowed lady, try Pepperberry

What about cotton traders ,

According to a magazine I read the other day midi skirts are the thing this summer. I have dozens of skirts, all longer than knee length and many are from charity shops, several from Bon Marche and lots I have had for years.

I never wear jeans or trousers except for summer three-quarter cotton trousers. I like separates so you can mix and match and get more variety than a selection of dresses.

Bonmarche is one of the few choices I do have... if you go on their site/skirts/maxi you get a 'choice' of 1... a chiffon number. :-|

The skirt I did get does not seem to be available online.

Ladies go to Bon Marche, they have a section for the larger ladies. You can do online shopping and they regularly have special offers. Every Sunday they change the special offer.

It only costs £6.00 to get an order all the way out here, it doesn't matter how many items you order.

The smallest size is 8-10 and it goes right up to 32.

Sorry ladies I'm now in the smallest size but I too struggled when larger as I'm short.

I gave up on Evans and others on the high street years ago. All my clothes, I only wear trousers, come from Sixteen47. More expensive, but far better design and quality.

Do not do frilly, flouncy or shiny. Which for some reason high street shops seem to think all larger ladies want to wear.

And I am 5' 7" tall, anothervfailing on the high street, they also seem yo think if you are large you are under 5'5"!

Rant over. :-)

I hardly ever wear a blouses
as having big boobs sometimes they gape

I wear tunics or skater type tops :-D

I almost never wear blouses ....................


turtleneck tops with long sleeves in winter

round or crew neck and short sleeves in summer

I spend a lot of time looking for blouses that fit better rather than just a blob of material hanging from my shoulders, none are very flattering on me.

I went clothes shopping today with my grand daughter she is 24
and she must of tried half the dresses on in the town

only for her to come home with a pair of trousers :-D :-D

I also am a larger lady, and mainly wear skirts ............... long skirts

I don't think I have a skirt that is shorter than the bottom of my calf, and most are at least ankle length.


Some of the skirts I wear are several years old .............. because of the difficulty of finding them


I was lucky last summer ................ one of the online companies I use had several long skirts, and they were on sale

I promptly ordered 3 ................... and was about to send one of them back as it was a little shorter than I liked, when I heard that the company had declared bankruptcy :-(

so I had to keep the skirt ................. it's not bad, just not perfect!

Also, maxi skirts were huge at one of our major department stores, and I bought 2 in the same style, different colours.


I might have to work a bit at getting the dressy top for a wedding though :-)


My problem is being a double mastectomy ............... and being much more comfortable without a bra and prostheses. It's quite a shock when I have to dress up :-)

Yes Joy :-D

Sewing machine will have to come out again, I used to make all my daughters clothes when she was young.
