Sheesh, don't talk to me about 'over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders' - I despair at bra shopping:mad:. Can hardly ever get one to fit properly and end up having to take about 20 into the changing room (all various sizes) in order to look remotely 'perky' !

That's what comes of having 3 children and yo-yo dieting . Still, at least they're hidden away and only have an outing once in a while :rotfl::p

I find that it's getting easier to get bigger sizes in small backs though, 5 years ago 32D was a diificult size to get, 10 years ago if you needed a C cup you had to go up to a 34 back.
I don't have any problems finding 32DD now thankfully although I suspect my cup size will go down soon so don't want to buy too many bras. I am a bra horder, been having a sort out and don't know why I hang onto bras that don't fit anymore!

I'm not sure i'm dainty and feminine enough for a maxi dress...
Does anyone have a Republic near? They had some nice looking ones.

Oooh I have been wanting a maxi dress for ages but refuse to pay the price they all seem to be, I'm hoping to find a second hand one somewhere.

I was just thinking that Vikki, they're very expensive ! I shall have to ebay some more stuff if I want one !

ETA Im also after that *perfect* pair of (non shiny) black wide leg trousers (with turn up hems)

Isn't that funny? I'm exactly the same height as you but from looking at blog photos I'd have said you were much taller!

totally agree,

Nicole Richie instantly springs to mind as maxi dress queen

(other than Goan)

and she is 5 ft nothing!

But she is also very skinny. I don't want to look square!!

I'm half tempted to make one. By that I mean beg my Mum to bring her machine here next week and she can make me one!
Actually I might do that, she's got far too much material for her own good, I'd be doing her a favour lol!

I'm 5 foot 2 1/2 inches, does that make me queen of all the little people?

I wear them, I'm chunky. I fine, they actually, soften blocks. If you go for a light and float fabric the breeze can play with the dress does the work. V necks, lowish cut also help.

watch out, your colleagues might call you a girl again.:D
