Agree re: really baggy clothes, floaty floaty things. Mostly make me look pregnant (which I'm not).

All day sportswear. As if the fact that you look ready to go / as if you've just been makes you look fit and ready to go I suppose. Just highlights your worst bits imo.

I have a large rear end and have to be careful with jeans. The ones with lower back pockets tend to be more flattering. My best pair are Hudson (bought in sale), bootcut, stretch, with small back pockets. They seem to give you a bum lift!!

(what you should weat that is)

longer tops - I'm finding stuff that cuts me off at the waist hideously unflattering

I love very baggy jeans but they don't really suit me... make my short legs look twice the width!

big flower prints. they do not make you look tiny and frail, they make you look like a walking armchair.

stripes do make you look bigger though

Sleeves which are too short/tight.
