Help?!

Everything seems to look frumpy on my large boobs,unless it's tight and then I just look tarty!

Need some day tops for wearing under cardies and now terrified jumpers are going to look dreadful too.

I hate my J's Sad

gggirl - you need a BIG scarf, thats wot

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:36

in the work place cleavage is NOT right.
I dont talk to men at work about their cock size, or does that help them love themselves/>

I don't know how to wear a scarf... what are you doing with them? Long scarves just drop forward at the same distance from my body as my tits, which isn't v. flattering. If I make them shorter, they just add even more emphasis to my norkage.

Please tell me how to wear scarves in a flattering manner!

sorry off topic - hey ggirl - i have news that will make you wee.

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:38

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:40

oh acutally i will dm you

noddyholder · 19/10/2013 10:40

There are double standards depending what your work place is. I work predominantly with men and I am 'the boss' as it were but in summer when they are all in shorts and no shirts I have to be really careful and cannot reveal anything

ggirl · 19/10/2013 10:42

Hey perv ,what news ???

and i do that with my ginormous scarves and they sit on top of my tits and I can barely see past

edam · 19/10/2013 10:42

Thanks Perv!

noddyholder · 19/10/2013 10:43

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:43

ggirl · 19/10/2013 10:43

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:44

i had to tie the tea towel to remember

noddyholder · 19/10/2013 10:45

I am wearing less scarves this year though AM liking the spartan look very slimming

PervCat · 19/10/2013 10:46

you know when you go to work (!) AND ITS freezing in the am and 17 by the afternoon? that is when i find them useful

sassytheFIRST · 19/10/2013 10:47

Mine are massive 30jj and I do hate em. Have considered reduction but nhs won't and I am too chicken really. I've also got a comparatively small waist 29" - not weeny but my vitals are 41-29-39 so v 50s I suppose.

I find the in yer face/loud and proud tops inappropriate tbh; the weight of my jugs also means that even in the best fitting bra I can lose my waist. Tend to go for a top and scarf combo mostly - v or scoop necks best - but I do like tops which are fitted at the back cos this shows I am quite slim really. And legs. I've got good legs and like people to know this.Wink

I am 30FF with hourglass shape. I generally (not so much at the moment - see my maternity thread) wear quite tight fitting clothes.

I recommend wrap tops, boat or slash neck blouses and tops and white fitted shirts with a scarf. I have a lovely Zara white shirt from the charity shop.

I generally recommend scarves anyway - they are great at adding colour to outfits (see my maternity thread for a general whine about black dominating office wear) and covering up food spillages Grin. And also for cheaply ringing the changes.

I have also noticed that when I wear lower cut dresses, male colleagues are more likely approach me with queries that should go to my team. In certain circumstances this is useful Grin
