What can fat people wear when it is hot?

[AtYourCervix]

Planning ahead to forthcoming holiday at the end of july somewhere nice and hot.

Obviously I can't wear shorts but I have gone right off the 3/4 length linen trews I've been wearing for yonks. I rather like palazzo types but would it not be a bit hot having all my legs covered up?
WHat do you think?

whereis the OP?
i want a look at her legs

shorts look vile on anyone over the age of 18. quite posibly the least flattering garment ever created.

Should add, I've veered off into general conversation now, not about the OP.

Cervix I have just bought this skirt in M&S it's long but light to wear and most importantly it has a fitted waist (sorry but elasticated waists add POUNDS to your butt) you could wear it with t-shirts or something more fitted. It really is a nice everyday skirt and despite being linen does NOT crease like buggery the moment you move a limb.

I personally think maxi dresses are something a larger lady can wear as it's more obvs they are large rather than just pregnant. My sis is size 20 and looks fab in them. However I also know she wears them cycling short things underneath to prevent chaffing as well.

they are chunky frieda. with a varicose vein on the back of my right calf.

but lots of us have chunky legs and veins
gah wear some shorts
what style skrits suit you?

i look hot in mine

right. where do i get cycling short anti-thigh chafers from then? are they cotton? will i get thrush?

right cervix you are making me cross restricting yourself now.

so we agree loose wide leg trews are oK? they are everywhere? you ok for TOPS?
would floaty dresses be ok? will you bare arms?

i'd rather not bare anytthing but find it impossible to find a T-dshirt with any longer than a cap sleeve which I hate.
for the last 10 years I have worn black T-shirts with jeans or linen 3/4 lenght trews. I am branching out!

i like a floaty frock. i want to be cool.

this is lovely

love the skirt libra linked to, am going to try that on... AtYourCervix, I'm a size 14 which I know isn't "that big" but find summer wardrobes really difficult & unflattering. Am going to start another similar thread in support of you, asking for specific links like Libra's - doing that in support of your search, just incase you think I am ignoring this one...

that's nice noddy. like that M&S skirt too. i think we're getting somewhere!

Floaty dress or Long length tunic/kaftan with leggings underneath.

Bleurgh to shorts!

Have a look at SimplyB - fabbo for all thngs fatso.

i LIKE the dress a lot good work

i just worked out your name frieda. i was thinking it was fried a roam and was wondering what a roam was

dunno hwo you are on pattern with cropped leggings i refuse to accept the thigh chafing thng

also are your arms THAT bad?
larks just avoid strappy tops

what about a 3/4 sleeve?
