I'm too afraid to post in Style and Beauty, as I have neither!

Every pair of jeans I have hurt my tum and end up falling down all the time. I can never, ever find anything in any shop that actually fits. Even tights hurt my 'waist'.

I'm 5ft 5"
Weigh 74kg
Around biggest part of boobs is 38"
Under boobs is 36"
'Waist' is 39"
Hips is 43"

Aibu to give up and wear big smocks with nothing underneath??

Love this thread title ! I know exactly how you feel. I carry my weight round my middle and jeans either fit round my stomach and are baggy round my bum and thighs (not a good look) or fit everywhere else but give me a huge muffin top (even worse look!) However today I have bought some asda "super skinny" jeans after recommendation from a thread on here. They are as cross between jeans and leggings and fit really well and are comfortable. My friend also asked if I had lost weight !!

I'ma tall extreme pear with fat legs. The only dress I've worn was my wedding dress which was made for me. The only thing that I like wearing are empire line maxi dresses that make all of me look like my size 10 boobs. I can't wear them in winter though because cardigans highlight my size 16 arse!

The only thing I would say was that, though things may not fit, everything should not hurt..have you got water retention or anything like that? I have yoga trousers that are lovely and big soft jumpers that are lovely.

I am the exact same, I have huge (natural) boobs, tiny waist and a very big bum/hips, my clothes range from a 14 to an 18, jeans are evil but I found good fitting ones in Marks and Spencer and also Dorothy Perkins. Wrap dresses, maxi dresses/skirts and leggings are all good. Wallis leggings and jeggings are very thick and comfy x

Me too. I am not designed for clothes.

Or clothes are not designed for me.

Trousers don't fit, unless I can find "long" ones. They don't seem to do "long" arms though, I have arms like a gibbon.

My waist isn't as fat as my hips would suggest it should be, so every pair of trousers I try on have this weird gaping pouch thing at the back where I could carry my shopping.

Also I appear to be a size 13. 12 is too small, 14 too big. I guess I should either lose a bit of weight or put a bit on.

A friend just told me about two mail order companies which apparently do clothes for different shapes and sizes marisota and isme (not sure I've got right spelling)
But both mail order so you can order loads try on at home and send back stuff you don't like
