Are muffin tops a recent development or......

is it just that massively high jeans (that us women over 30 used to wear)used to keep it all under control???

It seems that even quite slim girls have 'em these days.
Back to under-the-armpits trousers would be good for us all I think.

utterly agree moondog.

hipsters suit about 2 per cent of the population, so why are they the only style available (outside good ol' M&S)?

same for tiny T-shirts that barely cover people's belly buttons

'just under boobs'??
What was that about?
Surely not a hot look these days??

According to something I read l;ast week, I'm afraid creating an empire line with a belt is supposed to be coming in- was it Tomes Sty;e? maybe

Bleurgh

I thought at the time, not round here m' love!

Fashion eh?
It's bloody daft!

Higher waisted trousers are in this season. No more hipsters

does that apply to jeans too NdP?

Am concerned it may only be for wide-legged tweed trews, but would be v glad to hear different...

They had some of those jeans that go up to the bust in the shows this time around, so it's for all of them but decidedly not for me, would feel like a turkey trussed up for the over..... or Simon Cowell's secret sibling

not so flattering on my shape- slim, but with huge hip bones (size 10 waist, legs, size 14 hips)- make me look very bizarre! dresses work best but not so much in winter, obv. Skirts a wash out unless a line as they gape on my waist
only jeans a I can wear low cut, unfortunately

I think it is mostly wearing low cut jeans that are too tight for you. It isn't that you're necessarily lardy, just that your trews are the wrong size.

I also think a lot of shirts these days aren't as long as they used to be.

I have quite a long back anyway but I've noticed the last few T-shirts/shirts I've bought have definitely not come as far down my body as they used to.
