I’m only 5’2”, a size 14, 36B or C so not big chested and definitely not tall. However, since I’ve had my twins I find most summer clothes are just not wearable. I guess it’s because I have to bend over so much to pick them up etc but it’s ridiculous. I have lots of jersey / stretchy summer dresses from places like Cath Kidston so not mini length or anything - how do taller people manage?! I feel like I’m always having to worry about my bum showing if I wear a dress when I have to pick them up.

Also, I like v neck tops / dresses and they look perfectly decent when I’m upright but as soon as I lean forward you can see right down my top. And I’m not talking about really low cut stuff, just normal v neck t shirts. Is it because I’m short so they’re therefore lower cut on me than they would be on others?

I do have some round neck stuff but it doesn’t really suit me, am stuck wearing them though as I don’t want to look indecent.

Am I the only one who has this? Maybe my body is just the wrong shape for clothes now!

Cut off tights or cycling shorts under skirts (prevents chub rub but also ensures decency!)
Bralettes or light sports bras - hold it all in without digging in and getting sweaty but also cover cleavage if you lean forwards
Knee length dresses

I think maybe sports bras are a good idea - I’ve been wearing some stretchy bra things but still if I lean forward, everything seems to hang down and show - I guess gravity is no longer working in my favour!

I don’t wear really short skirts, most dresses are close to knee length on me at least but when I bend over I still have issues. I suspect it’s my expanded backside using up more fabric 😂

Midi length skirts look awful on me but maybe I need to get some anyway!

Jumpsuits, cullotes or ankle length skirts or dresses work for me.
