MT - must be very annoying. My friend is like this AND she just had a boob job so now it must be even worse! I'm finding the dresses I've bought this summer (like the Boden 50s type one) fit nice and snug and I was thinking how if you were really slim but with bigger norks, they would just be too tight round the top and just right on the waist.

I have this the other way up - fit on hips, massive on waist!

I spent today sweltering in my thick cotton uniform [smelly smiley]

Am now in shorts and a tee with flip flops.

Primark polka-dot dress

I don't care if 100,000 other people have it, it's perfect for this weather and looks fab.

I am slightly flabberghasted at what a fuss some of you are making about not wearing a bra for pottering around the house of an evening with just your DH. Last night I was hosting a Virgin Vie party and wore a longish white linen mix skirt with embroidery (next)and a light green vest top with slight ruching on bust (Zara) and no bra and barefeet even though party was in garden.

HappyDaddy · 18/07/2006 15:37

I'm braless LOL.

Shorts and a tshirt, I've a very good office.

LiliLaTigresse · 18/07/2006 15:43

Baggy cropped trousers in cotton, linen tunic extra-large (old maternity wear), black sports bra pretending to be a vest. Flip flops. BIG sunglasses. Lots of sweat (darn it, thought I'd got it licked then).

MrsGerrard · 18/07/2006 22:06

Living in boob tubes and long flowing skirts.

mummyplonk · 18/07/2006 22:08

Woohoo, just gone bra-less (tmi) but it feels good god darn it! We Brits r funny arnt we? we want it just right. and at 22.21pm I can just about cope with the heat but little-uns r too asleep to play in the paddling pool. Anyone fancy a midnight splash!

Cam · 18/07/2006 22:09

T shirt and sarong

hunkermunker · 18/07/2006 22:18

I can't go bra-less.

Even when I'm bra-less, I have to wear a bra.

It's the norks, you see.

Ma-hoo-sive

Beware
I'm working for a haulage company ATM. The drivers were joking about how much they can see from high up in their lorry cab.

Protect your cleavage if you're in the car girls!

Blondilocks · 18/07/2006 22:29

Well... to work and back I wore jeans & vest top (it was coldish when I left & I have the aircon on anyway on the way home!), at work I wore uniform that isn't in the best fabrics for hot temperatures, then back at home I changed into a skirt.

My usual attire for this weather is vest top & 3/4 trousers if I'm going out anywhere or a skirt at home/around my village.
