Fat clothes for holiday

7 replies

Been shopping today - go on holiday Friday so need to do shops not internet. Cannot seem to find anything flattering at all. Despairing slightly. Tops seem to show off fat arms and be made of paper, shorts do not fasten up or are too short. Problem areas are fat arms and fat tummy. I'm a size 16, 5' 9''. Can you suggest any flattering clothes for me which won't make me look like a lump of lard? I generally like classic, 'Parisian' type look so was looking for a knee length flattering skirt and a couple of flatttering T shirts which don't show too much arm. Any pointers please? Also on the look out for a long swimming copstume that holds it all in!

Gap do some good 3/4 sleeve tshirts with slight scoop neck. Very good for covering up the flabby arms, they are about £9 I think.

I know nothing about skirts I'm afraid.

Oh I'm no help-someone else will be along in a minute.....

I'm not near a Gap, but thank you, I will look out for similar styles

T shirts are pretty easy. Anywhere like Dorothy Perkins should have lots of simple 3/4 length sleeve jersey tops or Gap as suggested.
