What do short, fat people wear in the summer?

[Crunchymum]

I'm live in leggings, long vest (so arse covered) and tunics.

I am size 18-20 oh the shame and only 5ft 2in.

Medication for arthritis made me gainlaods last year and it's not shifting.

I feel like I want to hide until September

Any recommendations for wearable clothes would be amazing.

Shamelessly watching. Everything recommended for plus sizes looks great if you're 6ft, but shit if you're short.

i wear dresses i like i just wear comfy cotton shorts under them to stop chaffing size 26 .Usually get ones with sleeves and at least knee length to cover thighs .If not sleeve then just wear a nice cardigan or shrug

I am size 16, 5'2 and feel most comfortable in a shirred type fabric bardot midi dress or maxi dress as there is usually enough sleeve to cover my flabby arms but collar bone exposed so I don't look as if I'm trying to hide too much.
Cotton maxi skirts and crochet cardigans I find to be flattering and loose enough for hot days. Enjoy summer regardless of your size!

Following.i hate the summer. Medical condition makes it near impossible to lose the weight and I feel fatter every year. Felt like I was going to die last year in jeans!

I am a size 16 5ft 1 3/4in Apple/Barrel on legs, I wear cropped jeans loose vest/camisole with a kimono type light jacket or my new love is balloon dresses from Marla Wynne in a jersey fabric (I buy them off eBay for half the price) with a short kimono or lightweight linen jacket over the top, I do wear a slip under them,I like M&S cool touch ones and huge sloggi pants that almost come down to my knees but are so comfy and stop the dreaded chub rub.

Just on the lower part of the knee dresses (with jockey shorts underneath)

Pretty tunics and 3/4 leggings

3/4 navy Capri trousers with strappy vest tops and a very thin cardie (I'm not getting my fat arms out for anyone). I like silk vest tops from Brora or M and S as they're very light

I agree titchy. I think a lot of plus size clothing is aimed at tall women. Everyone seems to recommend Yours clothing but i went in and at 5'2 I felt like a kid in an grown up shop. The dresses were as tall as me!
