i desperately need some new clothes for work after gaining weight and looking old and fat. (yes, I'm trying to lose the weight, but still need the new clothes to be smart in new post in office/management environment)
I am about 5 foot 7, probs a size 16 now on top, 14 bottom. Big droopy boobs and round, sticky out belly. for the first time ever, i have a bit of money to spend so it doesn't have to be second hand or supermarket - although can't stretch to really expensive. I want a blazer/jacket or two but want a long length one as have no waist to speak of. I am looking on line at all the gorgeous clothes which look great on the size 8 models, but which will look hideous on me. Getting depressed. I am 48 and don't do frills and flounces - crap, I don't even know how to dress myself! Where is Gok when you need him?

Get measured for a decent bra at bravissimo
