She#d had a few glasses of wine and is well known for saying stuff and it coming out with very little tact and though.......

Anyway - we were chatting about weight and stuff (i'm trying so hard to lose a lot and she knows it) and she started saying sometime what you wear can make you look bigger ie short tops and low jeans (I didn't think I wore things like this) aqnd then stood up and pulled her elasticated waist jeans down to her hips and pulled her top up over her belly button - just to demonstrate

I just politely nodded at the time but as i think about it it really hurts my feelings...I've told DH and he says he didn't hear her but will have a word...along blushingm asked me not say anything but you really upset her the other day.......WWYD? Am i being over senistive or is she being nasty???

I think she's right on the general point. I am 5'2" and buy extra long trousers so they come higher up, then shorten them for my leg length. Much more comfortable and flattering - and under a top who will know that I am wearing Simon Cowell trousers?

Look on it as her having watched too much trinny and susannah and she's not able to convey the information as well as they do!
