Yeh JML, I think! Let us know how they feel! ;-)

sorry maggy, lol we always moan about our size dont we just been watching my daughter with her fella and thinking when i had figure like hers at 18 making me feel so jealous, bless her she tried denim skirt on when i got stuck in the dress and said how do i look, its a size 8!! i slammed changing room door on her, lmao nearly had to call her to help pull me out of dress

Anna, I'm intrigued, magic knickers!!! I think they might be just what I need ;-))

What about them Magic knickers, Dee? I'm gonna get some of those too! Can lend you Susie and Trinny's book if you like! Anna x

O.k. who's up for a Bluewater meet then.........could be a laugh... Lynda x

Size 12 Julie Anne, I wish!!

dee take comfort in the fact i feel same went retail therapy yesterday saw skirt for work ages ago in new look, still had it in sale, 7 quid got it, brought it home, too small, couldnt even do zip up and i confess i got stuck in a size 12 dress in asda, last week yet a different style dress same size too big, its the makers i blame for making/adding to us depressed havent dared try on the tops i got probably look like mutton tryin to be lamb lmao

A Bluewater meet sounds good to me - it's only 10 minutes away from me!! It's sods law though isn't it, when you go out looking for clothes you can never find anything but when you have no money to buy anything you see loads of things you like. Sue x

corsets are all very well if you have learnt to stop breathing!!! plus the fact i have jilly's prob if i wear a basque/corset there is more of my bust out than in!!! Bev

Problem with a corset Dee is it just holds it in, then moves it somewhere else! Maggy

Don't worry Dee - been to both Bluewater and Lakeside and come back with nothing in the past....... My best place seems to be Marks and Spencer and there is nothing wrong with being 'ample' and who wants to be a size 10 anyway.... Love the idea of a Bluewater meet though - we could all help each other - god knows what we would come back with lol Lynda x

Hi Bev I think I ought to get a good old fashioned corset, it might 'hold it all in' Dee ;-))

*nabs Bev's belt to show off my legs better on my thread*

Dee think yourself lucky, at least there is something you can do about your shape if you are so inclined. try being 5' 2' and buying skirts! they either clean the floor as i go, or look like belts! Bev

Kaz!!! think Lem should change her name!!!??? pmsl

Lemon, no probs ;-)) Perhaps we should have a GR meet at Bluewater, and hit the shops ;-))

Dee Start off by trying this guide from Trinny & Sues 'What not to wear' .......... it might help (oh by the way new series to be presented by Lisa Butcher ?? and Mica Paris mmm ). http://www*bbc*co*uk/lifestyle/tv_and_radio/what_not_to_wear/whattowear_index.shtml It will give you a few ideas what to be looking for - and then - take me up on my offer to come with you sometime :O)))

Seems I'm not the only one then, which is a relief Perhaps I should venture on to e bay Years ago I went to a 'designer' second hand shop. The prices were high but I came home with some really classy things, that actually fitted. (mind you I was younger and slimmer then as well) ;-(

Lilo Lemon !!! lolol

Oh WOW....I am getting a boob job.....:-) Sorry Dee I am lowering the tone as usual :-( XX
