Don't want to go to party night out because I don't like myself in anything

I just don't like myself in anything at the moment. All the ladies make a big effort, look sensational and I just think I look old, short and dowdy. I'm 41, 5ft4 size 10/12
But on here anything over an 8 seems to be considered plump due to vanity sizing etc
I've tried on jumpsuits, skirts, dresses. Nothing makes me feel good.
Can I just stay in wear my slippers and drink wine...

You can of course stay in and wear your slippers!

Or get yourself over to S&B, we love to help find bombshell outfits!

I too felt like that. But your size feels perfect. Maybe go to a store like Debenhams or somewhere that has a personal stylist ?

I'm on here far too much and I've never seen anything that says anything over an eight is considered plump, in fact it's the opposite. Often people scream a size sixteen is perfectly slim.

I suspect this is in your head. Of course you can stay in and drink wine, but I'm sure you look fine and if you want to go it would be a shame to let your own insecurities ruin it for you.
