Okay, so I'm generally a size 8, although sometimes a 10, 5'9ish and weigh about 8st12. I know that probably sounds like I'd be easy to dress, but from trying to put together a post-baby wardrobe, apparently I'm not.
Basically, I have very, erm, solid arms and legs, with very large knees (attractive!). Yesterday I tried on at least 20 pairs of straight and skinny jeans and not one pair fitted. Doing them up at the waist us fine, but skinnies just look wrong and straights cling (too much) over my calves and knees!
I did think of sticking to skirts, but then I have these enormous, man-sized calves sticking out.
This is really getting me down - I feel like a total Greek.
Please can somebody a), reassure be that I'm the only person this shape, and b) give me some advice on what to wear/ where to shop.
TIA
