Are your arms ok? Vest tops? Can you wear shirts or are you busty?

I'm a size 20 and wear M&S chinos to school. With them, I wear any of M&S's £12.50 value tops: they're not t-shirt fabric but lightweight cotton (so don't cling to the old tum) and are long enough to cover unwanted bits. Very useful - hope they may be for you, too.

Oh thanks I'll have a look in m&s
I don't think the world is ready for me in a vest top Grin
it's my stomach that's the main issue
The rest of me is ok
No bust though Hmm I paint a nice picture don't I?!

Have been v suprised by Esprit ... they have lots of dresses at the moment that are natural fibres and v forgiving ...

Get yourself some scaffolding first? M&S do very good all in one things which hold in the flab and give you a waist.

Are they hot though?
I do need a new bra
Christ it'll cost more than my first pay packet Grin

Good material for really hot weather = voile.

I think laura ashley do some shirts in this material, and also la redoute.
