Gone from stuck in boring office to front of house customer facing position, not overly smart... I really need your help with suggestions for trousers, tops and shoes, size 12, 5'6" with a horrible stomach which needs hiding... Grin

I have very little spare cash so the cheaper the better!

If you are starting off a smart/casual work wardrobe from scratch I would go for a pair of black trousers and 3 dresses. Next have some lovely ones in at the moment, and of course, spanx if your tummy is a problem.

Oooo someone likes some of the things I found! This doesn't happen often but I am determined not to be put off Smile

Apologies for Per Una btw - it doesn't really look like it though does it? Not enough frills.

Dotty P's have some good stuff in their sale at the moment which might be worth a look.

SOMS, would love to do dresses, unfortunately I have horrible legs plus I always feel fat in them!

TNMBB, I went to DPs, bought two pairs of trousers and a shirt for £24!! Was really pleased with myself... Until I got home and tried them on, none fitted, I'd bought all my usual sizes, trousers too small, shirt too big :(

Back to square one.
