    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.


    Ohh republic, rarely venture in there but will look Saturday

    shortlived nap due to cold. Won heating battle due to blue lips though :cool:

    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 think its easier full stop, when I first piled on weight about 7/8 years ago I remember being in dispair, be fore that I was a 30/32 d-dd (sometimes a c)...and that was hard, most things went to c or d cup..not dd

    The rudeness of some people!! I'd be tempted to dish out a few eye pokes to anyone that told me I looked a mess!

    I love Dotty P for basic tops so good picks there. What sort of stuff do you usually wear/feel comfortable in? And is there a dress code at your office? That'll help us suggest a few things :)

    .

    Wow, thanks for all the comments :o

    One girl actually commented to my OH that I looked *a total minger*. I had just returned from the loo after a lovely bout of morning sickness. He went mad at her and needless to say she kept her mouth shut after that!

    Erm, theres not really a dress code. Just want to kind of show people I'm not this minger they all apparently think I am (I spent the few days I was in while pregnant mainly in trackie bottoms thanks to the ever expanding bump)

    Erm I mainly live in jeans but I'm comfortable in most things. A bit :eek: at wearing dresses but I need to change my style so I might as well try it.

    nikki, I know it's an old saying but they're probably jealous of you in some way. People who comment like that are usually hiding their own insecurities - best ignored xxxx

    Half the battle is learning to let other people think what they like - I'm still learning but getting there thanks to these lovely ladies.

    Nikki, I'm guessing that the girl in question wasn't much to look at herself (people that go round calling other women mingers rarely are) She was probably jealous or insecure.

    DB, you look lovely in that dress, I want one even more now. Even if you feel you don't wan'tneed a bra, pretty undies always make me feel more gorgeous, and you never know when you'll be hit by a bus!
