Hi, I am very pear shaped, my measurements are 39 bust 33 waist and 47 hip. I am a 14 top and 16 in a trouser. I'm trying to loose weight at the moment, but still have another 2 stone at least to go. I would love to wear skirts, but just can't find any to fit my shape if any of you ladies have the same problems, where do you shop ,or be honest should I just wait till I've lost the weight.I once lost two stone some years ago, but still had the same problem although I was then a couple of sizes smaller.

Hi Katyj!
How I feel for you - there are so many variations in size depending upon the brand! Sorry I can't help with where do you shop as it is all so random.
It sounds like you could do with encouragement with your weight loss struggle? Be assured you are not alone hmm
Look on today's threads and you will see a thread entitled 'I am a pear' where I entered my weekly check in this morning.

the problem is that even within any size, all of us are different shapes. Some have wide backs, others are big busted, arm length varies, body length varies.

The only way to find out where you can get skirts to fit your shape is to just go out and around the shops and see what brands fit.

Think I'll wait a bit, see if I can loose more weight first.I hate shopping and don't enjoy fashion, I just try to buy what fits and looks half decent grin

I'm the same Katyj, I hate trailing round shops trying on clothes, it's exhausting and dispiriting sad
