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

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

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

Try Dorothy Perkins or New Look - they are really good.

Me. I'll become your Fashion Advisor! :0) xx

Bec Can I afford you though??? ;-))

Dee have some vouchers for M & S here and can I find anything that I like NO. Walked past a shop yesterday and caught a glimse of my reflection what a massive backside I have. Then to add insult today was in car with hubby and a woman crossed road who was smartly dressed, comment was wish my old lady would dress like that instead of in frumpy trousers and t shirts. Shall we have a GR shopping trip

Right ladies Problem solved A day at Bluewater with Bec as our Fashion Advisor ;-))

sorted then

Give me a time and a date and I'll be there :0) xx

errr how tall is bec?

Bev - errrr Why???

im 4ft 11, 34dd chest, drives me mad, hips size 12ish, have small ish waist, not sure size trousers i look like a flump with me little legs,as the trousers are usually too wide in leg used to go to dot Ps for petite stuff but even their petite now is too long, and tops too small M&S i like but sometimes mre than i wanto pay

Thought I saw Anne Brooks in Debenhams not long ago, Margaret. You sound just like my MIL.

love and hugs dee ....from the belle from southseaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((((((((:

I would be up for shopping with Bec acting as one half of Trinnty and Susannah lol wish I was six inches shorter sometimes and oh to have smaller feet - size 9 is not much fun... but at least they are making trousers longer now - no more looking daft with them ending a couple of inches up my let lol Lynda xx

It can be done believe me. I'm a size 12/14 bottom and 14-18 top and I can find decent stuff on the High Street :0) xx

Reading this thread makes me wonder if there are actually any 'average' people around? i am 5'2/5'3 ish, size 16. Problem is that I can still remember being sizes 10 then 12 then 14 and it has all crept up on me. I still see myself as a slim person until I get into the changing room when I see this short chunky person with a large tum! I tend to stick to M&S and mainly trousers, boot leg are best but they seem not to do many in that now and wide leg are not very good on me. Luckily my legs are longish in proportion to my body. I wear everything, blouses, tops, T shirts outside the trousers and occasionally skirts but I cn still see that tummy! And diets don't seem to lose the weight where I want it to. Oh yes have a 38C top too. Oh well not to worry I am mostly healthy so that is something to be grateful for. Ann Glos

Hi Linda, seems Debenhams might be the place, just been looking at some of their stuff online, thanks to a little guidance from my personal advisor , the one and only Bec. Did find a label called Dash once that seemed to suit my style and pocket, and fitted, but not seen it around recently ;-))

It's cheered me up to know I am not the only one having problems I looked at all these elegant people 'lunching' in Bluewater and felt a real misfit, but seems others feel the same when they look for clothes Thank you everyone, Dee ;-))
