What can lardy ladies who aspire to stylishness wear this spring?

[Mazzystar]

Shirt dresses a nono with a post CS tum I think.

Am size 14- 16, small waist, big butt, aforementioned tummy issue. 5'6'. Look alarming in jeans.

Used to have a nice line in funky day-to-evening wear for work but none of it suitable for looking after a toddler in. Sold it all on ebay so have some £ to spend.

What should i get?

i have foudna good loose top at marks and apencer the oehtr week but cnat brign myslef to psot it as the photo ont heir site is ssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

oi annie are youa criminal one?

just trying to check your sincerity re dress comment

(am not in slightest bothered about either being, or being called a chubster)

KenningtonKitty - get off your puter and book us a hotel! wasn't expecting to see you here anyway!

I'm supposed to be 'playing' with my son...he's currently infront of tv complaining about how crap teletubbies are. I am a bad mother.

Think we might have hijacked this thread.

i was really thinking for desperate, but might give it a whirl myself. can always send it back.

go on cod, post it we will make allowances

do you mean the FCUK top Mazzy? I wouldn't ever fit into anything from FCUK. Really like the linen embrioidered kaftan from Boden - might try it in it's largest size and hope it fits for a while longer.

But surely sitting in same room whilst they watch tv is playing with them isn't it - otherwise what's the point of laptops - btw ds is right - Teletubbies are crap - you get much better quality on Nick Junior (according to DD anyway !)

DS has leaking liquid syndrome (ie: vomiting and dire-ear) so confined to barracks - luckily Mum is here so on duty whilst watching me on Mumsnet (Oh the cheek of me !)

i know i'm lucky to be tall as it does help, but trust me I am a good 3 stone overweight and very flabby in all the nastiest bits. And only 7 weeks preg too so can't really use that excuse yet!

that top is lovely fio

desperate, i am still using the excuse that i have been pregnant once, in the past, to excuse my excess flesh. have you had a look in monsoon lately for the loose kaftany kind of thing?

Fio really like that dress - over jeans. dont' know how big it will be though - only do M-L....

hmm, will buy new holiday wardrobe from that site on grounds that all my summer stuff is way too big, some lovely stuff on there

i just dont get why cods persistent rude and hurtful comments are met with 'backing up' and 'praise' from some mumsnet members - or is it that the school bully always has a posse.....?

?

eh?

It's really nice stuff - never seen it before - even boys clothes are colourful and not too £££££
