i Presume you all hide and run?

Rhubs, I am bit stunned by this too tbh.

Oops sorry cross post, dh phoned in the middle of me typing it.

I saw her in BHS, stroking the light blue nylon tops and giving herself an electric shock.

lol
no was kew
linen

Pale blue linen top - are you up the duff?

didn't posh shops used to have a scarf in changing rooms to prevent this sort of thing?

Oh look, here she is trying it on! You look lovely!

Has anyone tried to convince themselves they can still fit into a size 8, shoehorned themselves into it, then realised that the overstuffed cumberland sausage look is not for them. Then cue tears and sweaty panic because you can't get the bloody thing off your fat self?

Or is it just me that has literally ripped myself out of an outfit. Disclaimer - it was a vile jumpsuit (ha!) and was overpriced anyway.

Oh yes - I had to litterally rip a top off once - luckily there was no staff about.

what is this birkie situation you speak of???

Yes I tried on a red short mac in Hobbs yesterday, it was a size 8 (they only had 8's in the sale). I was determined to get in it, with 32FF norks, it was not a good look.

This in red.

Pah silly link - The Angelo.

I think that if you are short and a bit chubby, that coat will make you look even more so. Just a general obs about the coat btw and not a reference to you Fimby!

When I was younger I hated trying things on because they would just fall off me. The shop asst would look at me and shake her head saying "that's the smallest we do". I left feeling like a freak!

I am tall and chubby! .

I used to be a size 6-8 then met dh, was in a crap relationship before and he started taking me out to restaurants (had never been to many before) and the weight piled on and stayed there!

Well thats make excuse anyway - dieting again starting this week

Don't get it in white then, black is a more flattering colour if you are a little top heavy. But you would suit something a little longer that takes the focus away from the top half of you.

The red was gorgeous Rhubs. Don't need it or particularly want it, was just determined to try it on and they only had 8's in the red.

The white already had foundation smears around the collar line (hey where is you know who!) plus a white coat and 5 year old boys do not mix at all.

Tut! These people who try on clothes with a full face of make-up - honestly!
