Especially if you need to lose about 3 stone!!

I am short - 5ft 1 and my weight is on my tummy and thighs - I am a size 16/18 on the bottom and have biggish boobs (E cup) so 16 on the top.

I have a new job and need to know what to wear - all my previous work wear is too small and I can't seem to find a similar style in a larger size...

Help!

I had similar student support job years ago - LOVED it. I had to do a lot of physical stupidity support and running about on campus, moving/pushing wheelchairs etc so wore for comfort and flexibility - leggings and tunic dresses, trainers, decent waterproof mac and rucksack to have free hands ascend and to lug heavy books for my students. Pretty much wear what I wanted but I went with basic uniform of the above for practicality and ease of getting dressed (I was up at 5am for this job). If you've got a busy timetable of support hours don't forget a refillable water bottle and some eg nuts to keep you going and to save spending on overpriced coffees etc. The dress you've linked to looks great - in the nicest way, on campus no one will really care as long as you're on time! Hope you love your new job - it's really rewarding.

Stupidity - I have no idea why that typo is there.

My own stupidity at using my phone?
