Anyone else between sizes?

No matter what I've weighed over the past 20 years I've always been between sizes and find it really difficult to get clothes that fit. Trousers are the worst. I'm 5'3" and have endometriosis and IBS so my stomach is perpetually bloated.

Anyone else have this problem and what do you do to tackle it? I'm between a 10 and 12.

I'm 10/12 too. Belts are a must-have!

Same here. I once had some size 11 jeans which fitted perfectly.

Me too Fozzle I think they might have been Miss Selfridge but it's a long time ago.

Same here, I don't remember the last time I managed to find a nice pair of jeans or trousers. I'm not tall (5ft 4") but loads seem to be really short in the crotch area! I've resorted to leggings/jeggings under longer tunic type tops, but often feel quite frumpy.

Yes I was an "11" for years, finally got round to losing weight an am now a "9" 😡 why is it so hard to get trousers that fit well!!

My measurements are 32/31/36 - which roughly means my chest and hips are a Size 8, my waist is a Size 14.

I always size up. A belt will often sort it out but if not, I pay about a tenner to get it altered.

I am also an 11! It’s frustrating but I’m happy not to be larger tbh
