what wouldnt you wear?

I'm quite like you in the fact that I have large boobs so I have to watch just what I wear. I recently saw a lovely black Macintosh but because I am only 5'3" then I thought it would look daft. I also would love to wear light coloured jumpers but again they just dont look right, to me, so I end up with dark ones. Oh to be perfect!

You should have bought it - it sounds lovely. I usually buy things on spec if I see something and love it otherwise I have regrets.

You could get it and join XR. Must be ok to go as a blueberry as I have just seen a report of a man on the protest dressed as a broccoli floret.?

Oh my goodness, buy buy buy!! You loved it, was absolute gorgeous, if I saw you in it I would just think what a fabulous jacket, not a blueberry, def more confidence needed here, love to know which shop I would love one. In answer to your question, I never buy anything that shows my fat knees?

Leggings - never never never!!

I wouldn't wear anything really see-through now, as I can't be bothered to worry about all the underwear straps showing.

Petunia, I wouldn't wear a padded, quilted jacket, you know the one I'm talking about, because it makes me look really strange. Let's just say I'm not a size ten and I'm short . So now you know what and why ......

ha ha alima-i like your suggestion. and dragonfly, please dont tempt me.
why-i too am short-which makes the blueberry scenario more real.

maybe i should just identify as a tall willowy slender model type who can wear anything?

I was talking to a friend about this yesterday, who suggested: buy something you really like and keep it for a week - try it on at home and see how it looks/feels. If, after a week, you feel you made a mistake, return it to the shop. Gives you more time to think, less pressurised.

who cares what you wear .if you feel comfortable in it .. but saying that there was a blue and white rain coat i saw in my charity shop, yes i want a rain coat .but a blue and white blob in the rain .no thanks.

Sleeveless, unfortunately I would not wear any more with regret..

I also avoid a difference in horizontal levels such as thin little black legs and voluminous top.

It sounds lovely in theory petunia but like you I look like the Michelin woman in anything padded. So many coats and jackets now are padded or quilted.

Leggings, baggy tops. I'm pear shaped with quite big thighs ,so I wear wide trousers with fitted jumpers or shirts.

I love my leggings. Only around the house though. They're lovely and warm in the winter with woolly socks.

Fake tan. Not for me the tangerine look.

a thong

If I had muscular thighs I'd wear leggings.

Ouch grapefruit-a thong. No chance. Plus they must be so unhygienic, spending so much of the day where the sun don't shine

I like a polyester puffa jacket . It's washable, warm, windproof, incredibly lightweight, and I can if necessary stuff it into a little bag and carry it . I have a black, a white, and a dark green animal print.

High heels, sadly. I do wear leggings- more comfortable under a dress, with ankle boots, and they look like tights. Plus, you can wear warm socks. I don’t wear synthetic fabrics, either, and I don’t buy clothes made in sweatshops.

Crocs

My SiL says Crocs work well as effective contraceptives!!

I look at those lovely floral dresses currently in fashion all fitting neatly into the waist - and that is the problem. I do not have a waist the gap in my body between ribcage and hips is very small, DD who sometimes makes clothes for me describes my shape as peculiar.

Whatever the cause. with no waist anything that fits around my non-existent waist makes me look overweight, despite being size 10/12 and well within the BMI for my height.

However, as I said, DD sometimes makes dresses for me so she has made me a dress like the one I crave but with a raised waist and slightly loose fit and though I say it myself, it looks just right on me.

Nothing really compliments my short, fat body, but definitely out are sleeveless dresses and tops, as the tops of my arms are really ugly, very fat and flabby.
