No more t-shirts?

Thanks NotTooOld shall have a look today

I agree that it was good when you could choose the length of M&S T shirts. It seems to be assumed that those of us who are broad in the beam want long tops to cover the bulges. Actually, that just makes us look bigger. M&S used to do tops that would just reach to the top of the hip bone (above the bulge!) which was more flattering. Manufacturers please note that larger women don't want to look like tents!

Baby - I can't find blazers or other jackets to cover my bum - the current fashion is much too short, I think, drawing attention to the bit I want to hide. I agree with you re T shirts, but I think I'd rather look like a tent than a barrel.

How to dress age appropriately: wear clothes.

I suppose the problem is that we are all different and ready made clothes tend to be all the same! Maybe I should pluck up the courage to get out my sewing machine again.

I do agree with littlefierce that we shouldn't worry too much about being "age appropriate, though.

I can't say I give a fig about what anyone else thinks. I'm 62, I frequently wear crazy colours in my now naturally white hair (and have had more than 1 compliment from strangers about it!) and I adore "in your face" colours and patterns in my jeans, tops , jewellery, shoes and bags. Why should I turn into a boring cardboard character when inside I still feel young?
