I’m 57 & a size 14.
I like Tesco, Asda and Matalan clothes.
I’m wearing combat trousers and sweatshirts at the moment.
Tend to wear shorts and t shirts in the summer.
Occasionally wear black jeans, if I want to be smarter.
Don’t have to worry about work as I wear a uniform.

Bon Marche is inexpensive and tends to fit short women quite well. especially the trousers Their pattered stuff is dowdy so you have to be selective. Now and again they sell can cotton tee shirts and nice long vests.

Sorry, badly worded. I meant 50 year olds and over, and I'm a size 12 and don't have the waist I once had. Hope the clarity helps.

I was delighted to find a dress that suited my 60+ body shape very well. I liked it so much that I Googled the maker and found I liked every single dress on their website! Pomodoro. I'm not advertising just saying l liked their dresses. Not body hugging and often with three quarter sleeves. Nice fabric and good quality workmanship.

If there was one I wouldn’t shop there . What’s a 50 plus body shape?

I imagine you mean people of 50 years of age and over? But I can't quite understand just what body shape has to do with anything. I know many people who are over 50 and they vary in shape, size, and proportion.

Is anyone else struggling with shopping for 50+ bodyshapes? What do you all recommend?
