Hi I'm going to Tunisia in a few weeks and could do with some help on what to pack and a few things to buy! I'm size 14-16 with a bit of a tummy, but okay legs and bust. I do like dresses but inevitably when I look bok at photos of me wearing jersey type ones they are a bit unflattering! Ive got lots of costume jewellery to pep up plain outfits but would love some tips for packing some good outfits and maybe recommendations for some budget gorgeous summery stuff you may have seen on the high street:-) I'm 38 by the way!

What about some play suits? I've got a couple from river island and I was just in magaluf at weekend and bought a couple of play suits from primark they were lovely on and they had loads of different patterned ones and they were only a £5
Or what about some patterned trousers that are in all the shops with a cami top?

Hope you have a fab time in going to Tunisia in sept Smile

And what about harem style trousers for curvy types?

Yes to harem style trews. I went to Tunisia a couple of years ago and found it to be very conservative - didn't see many women out on the streets at all, so do bear that in mind. Outside of the hotel I felt most comfortable in a maxi dress and denim jacket

I've got lots of pairs of the Next Harem pants. I saw women of all shapes and sizes wearing them in Cape Verde.

I noticed most women had one or two pairs of patterned trousers. I've got these too and a navy floral from last year. They are so, so comfy and really easy to dress up or down.

Oh love the DO trousers,they look really cool and comfy. Hard to think of outfits for the heat when its still spring here, I find Smile. Thanks!
