If you are 5''3 and a size 18 what do you wear for work?

[TotallyAddictedToLurking]

I am on a budget but I don't have anything that fits me.

Whilst I am trying to lose weight I'd like to make an effort to make myself feel better.

Do you have any tips?

Ok

Bugger. I meant to say:

Ok, I'm a bit taller than you but a size 18 as well. I tend to wear dresses, v-neck but with a defined waist. I don't wear heels (not suitable for my job) but wear with a smart pair of boots.

I'm 5.4 and 18-16 I wear shirts/tops and trousers. I'm pear shaped so don't have a big tum but bum instead. I play up the 34GG breasts and hide the fat arse. Chunky belts help suck in and big necklaces attract the eyes upwards. I have pencil skirts that look good on me but cannot find affordable knee high boots that fit round my calves.

Grand do you have a link for an example of the dresses you mean?

Dip, I have a huge belly so belts look horrible. I do like the idea of a necklace to draw the eyes upward.

Thank you

I'm 5'3 amd size 28. I wear smart trousers and tunic or wrap tops. I try to get longer tops that cover my tum. not entirely happy though as tum still looks huge sometimes so watching with interest

size 18 even, not 28

Something like this, I have a few dresses from East.

I wear boots with opaques, dresses that tie around the waist and a cardi. I have every colour cardigan going!

Tops from Asda like these are cheap and easy to wear. They are well sized and usually large enough to drape rather than stretch. Look nice with smart trousers (not from Asda though).
