Looking nice on a budget when bigger

[WestCovina]

I’m feeling quite down in the dumps, I’ve put on weight and am now a size 18 and don’t look nice. And I don’t have much money to do a better job of it. Help me please!

I don’t know what shape I am. I have big boobs and belly, somewhat smaller waist and okay legs..

I'm going to tag you in a very friendly plus size thread. Stand by!!!

Matalan-really good value and good cuts.

I was the same size/ shape as you, I used to get quite a few dresses from Dorothy Perkins, they always made me look smaller. You sound lovely x

Boohoo has completed bargains

Asos isn't bad either

@NowWeSuckingDiesel where is the friendly plus size thread please?

Sainsburys Tu range is god though I rarely go there. I think George (Asda) and Matalan might do plus sizes. I have bought the odd top (I mean occasional not weird!) in Matalan.

It sounds like you might be an apple?
