Plus size what are you wearing today

[Defeatthedebt]

Hi guys,
I love browsing the what are you wearing today thread but being plussize (Size 26) I often can't take inspiration from it. I wondered if any other size 18+ would like to share what they are wearing today?

I think I agree with pickle about the balance of the outfit. The skirt would probably look more ‘flattering’ with a slim-fit top BUT you look gorgeous and autumnal as hell, pickle! It also looks really comfy.

I’m in my trusty denim skirt again...
Indigo George bubble hem top size 24
New M&S chunky and fluffy cardi size XL
M&S thermal heatgen 100 denier grey tights size XL

I’m on medication which, for the first time in years, means I have cold hands and feet. I’m used to radiating heat, so it’s taking some getting used to. 😂

Oops. Picture would help.

ringlets, you tease , I still can't see a photo!

Ooooh now I can. As you were.

ringlets, love that outfit! I have a really similar cardi!

How tall are you @ClientListQueen please? I am 6ft and still in my dog walking/housework clothes today plan to give the house a good clean, food shop and make some soup.

Thank you, Nancy :) I'm not particularly adventurous, but I think I do 'cosy' well. Have I missed your outfit for today, or are you still in pjs? :)

@Daddylonglegs1965 about 5ft 10

Hi all

I am plonking myself down in the thread. I'm loving the outfits!

I've just caught up with the thread so far so congrats to ringlets!

Bloody loved organising my wedding - pic attached is my dress (size 24, was a high st size 20 but with 24 boobs).

Am now 5'6", size 22, 40H.

Just started a four month programme of coaching around emotional eating and binge eating as would like to be back to a 16-18 as I'm not feeling very healthy at the moment.

Not dressed yet so will post later with today's outfit

PS....totally off to buy snag tights right now!

@wheresmymojo OMG, you look absolutely stunning in that dress! Did you try lots on? Where did you get it?

Thanks!

I went to three bridal shops - two standard ones and one that had a special plus size part.

The first trip I turned into a day out with friends - we all went and I tried on tonnes of different styles to see how they looked and then we went for lunch. Was so much fun!

I definitely recommend finding somewhere that specialises in plus size though as the other two places were still good but since they only had standard sizes to try on it was a bit limiting!

This dress is Mori Lee by Madeleine Gardner - I had the off the shoulder netting added as I'm not fond of the top of my arms and I didn't wear an underskirt with it as I preferred it less structured than the model has it in the photo

Always worth looking at second hand too - mine cost me £1300 and I sold it to someone for £350 and it was in pretty much perfect condition (just needed to be dry cleaned which would cost her about £100)

I just had a quick look - this place is closing down on 16th Nov but I would say it's worth calling them or popping in to ask them where they think the best place for plus size bridal is once they've closed

Oh no, mojo, I didn't realise they were closing down! Thank you for warning me!

So this is me...working from home so not planning to leave the house other than a quick trip to the Post Office.

Just have M&S black leggings and a charcoal grey tunic from M&S which is really soft and cosy

Thank you Nancy!

Mojo* your wedding dress is stunning- and much better without the underskirts, good call.

@NowweSuckingdiesel ,please please don’t leave, I love all you said, gave me the courage to not just lurk.

Love your wedding dress and also today's outfit mojo! I want to get married again, just so I can shop for a dress! Seems extreme to divorce DH though....

Rubbish photo today sorry - couldn't find a decent mirror!

Dungarees - Lucy and Yak
Top - New Look
Necklace - charity shop

I have no intention of leaving!!! Having re read my last comment i can see how that looked but I meant bow out of the cardi discussion as i didn't want to put my foot in it, looking at it now it does look like a "diesel checked into hospital..... You ok hun?" type comment. Sorry @NancyEspana and @3dogs2cats for confusion!!

@wheresmymojo, your wedding dress...................... .. .. O M G!!! Absolutely blooming gorgeous!

Ah phew! So glad you haven't left diesel! Imagine if you had, you'd have missed seeing mojo's wedding dress .

You're right Nancy, i think if i showed it to my husband he would be very keen to renew our vows! Fabulous mojo, in fact everyone is looking fantastic, i love the colour of your dungarees Nancy and pickle that skirt is stunning! Today's outfit, brought to you by the swimming pools massive mirror, didn't have to contort myself like a magicians assistant to get it all in the mirror for a change!

LOVE IT diesel! I need one of those mirrors, just for this thread .

Just realised I am in exactly the same outfit I posted a week and a half ago . Need to have a go at styling these dungarees differently...
