can you go to J lewis/H of Fraser etc and see a personal stylist (or whatever they're called?)
light suit with pin-stripes would be slimming & good for spring/summer..sorry not v inspired at the moment, maybe check out some magazines for ideas - red/eve/marie claire etc.

Hate magazines - not very practical I think
Are the personal stylists free @ JL/HoF do you know?
Do you know of the jackets are long or short?

sorry, don't know. sure you could check their websites for info? I'm sure i saw an article in recent magazine on work clothes tho (well bound to have been one anyway) so might still be worth a look.

Saw something in a sunday paper that short jackets were in at the mo. Which is a bit of a pain because I'm back at work next week (Tuesday for me too Sad) and the only pre preg suit that fits is long jacket. Still, at least it covers my larger than pre preg arse and thighs!!

Same suits here - just been thru all clothes & tried them on - how depressing!
Everything that fits round waist was "fat" clothes that I wore before preg clothes fitted! Shock
And they then HANG round the behind (non existing) like I did something in there Grin
I look like an apple on stilts! when sitting I look even worse as I have no midsection to absorb the tummy flab so it all just goes forward & I can put a budha to shame (no offence)

:(

Although it is a bit tight round the middle. Perhaps the more casual open long jacket is the way forward? Smile
