Plus size what are you wearing today?

[LadyPrigsbottom]

Hello!

There used to be a lovely what are you wearing today? thread(s) on here for people who were plus size (circa 16/18 and up I think).

Could anyone tell me if they've seen one lately please? If there isn't one on the go, would anyone be interested in joining me on here?

I'm size 16/18. Today I'm in a New Look floral dress and DM boots. Pic attached (hopefully).

Thanks @StCharlotte

@Bridecilla

You're all so lovely and in proportion!

I find it hard to dress my shape because of my awful tummy. I'm a short 16 with big boobs and a really horrible tyre tummy overhang (attractive eh?)

Anyone else my shape and expert at dressing it?

Have you tried shift or swing dresses?

I REALLY must get on with some work

Oh, exciting to see all these pics!

wandering, another lovely pic and lovely, summery dresses.

queen, how do you make leggings look so glam? I look like a bit of a slob in mine...still wear them though .

@Bridecilla, meeeee! I am 5'8" and a 16/18, 34G (have just had to check the label on the bra which fits me currently and this is what it is), sometimes a 36F, skinny of leg, large of boob and post c section tummy. I don't know if I'm what you'd call an expert, but I am learning how to disguise my significant spare tire as much as I feasibly can.

I buy skinny jeans in either a loose fit or tight, but with a stiff enough, high waist band to hold in my tummy.

A revelation for me last time I was on these threads was that, counter intuitively, some medium rise jeans suit me quite well. I always though high rise was the only way, but actually, for wearing with tshirts, jeans in a looser fit are better with a lower rise on me.

I also suit flared or a line skirts or dresses. Nothing clingy on the belly. The New Look dress I'm wearing in the OP is a good shape on me, as it's loose at the back, so I don't show back fat and bra strap digging in, which I always get in clingy tops, regardless of how well my bra fits.

I love loose fit, collarless shirts over jeans or smart shorts, with tights.

Also, I can't really wear high necklines.

Here I am in a t shirt dress, 18 tall, Asos, snag tights, Clark's Mary Jane's (they are a bit fugly marmite, but I love them), Uniqlo cardi, which I got in a sale and I'm actually not entirely sure about... everything else I got from there recently, I loved, but not sure about this one...

Absolutely love that colour combination, Lady!

Bride, I carry a lot of lard on my mid-section, coupled with a c-section overhang (which is growing)... so, as you can see, I try disguise it (a little) in non-clingy and patterned materials.

@LadyPrigsbottom oh I look like a slob

My new Lucy & Yak dungarees turned up today, lovely soft corduroy. Love the colour, they make me happy my dd has said she won't go out in public with me whilst wearing them

Love them BurtsBees! I'd definitely be seen in public with you. I'd wear mine too and we would look COOL, fact .

This is a fab thread. I'm 5ft 2 with big boobs. Tummy issue due to past cancer and repeated abdominal surgery. Tackling it though. Halfway through C25k and starting to feel better and the benefits and Inspired by this thread I just got a skirt I've owned for years out of the wardrobe (still has label on) and tried it with a black tee. Looked good! I wouldn't normally be brave enough to wear a short top these days but you've all inspired me! Best thing is skirt is generous fit with fully elasticated waist but its a 14!!

@LadyPrigsbottom

That green dress you're wearing is glorious!

Ah thank you StCharlotte! It was secondhand of eBay for a song. It's very handy and easy to wear.

Off*

Tu at Sainsbury’s. Size 18

I'm going into town later to look at a potential new project. This dress is from H&M, size L and is really comfy also has pockets!

Those dungarees are great!

Cute dresses^^.

I am in my cosies today! Leggings from Next, red, merino wool jumper from Uniqlo. It's a bit chilly again here and we have nothing much on, except maybe a bit more tidying and wardrobe decluttering etc.

WanderingTrolley I had that dress but in yellow and black. I like the waist detail, It's a bit different.

I'm wearing the ubiquitous navy crop trousers (I told you I have three pairs!) With this top from M&S. It's too big really so it probably won't make it to the office but It's lovely for floating about. Especially when it gets hot again.

Today’s outfit.

Late to jump in but just to thank you all for a great thread and great ideas! I'd LOVE to wear knee length dresses but I have horrendous pale legs and lumpy varicose veins (I'm 40!) any recommendations on how to make them look better? I cover them up all them time hence they are the colour of milk bottles! Help 😭

Wish I had an ounce of the confidence you lovely ladies have, you look amazing.
Another horse person here, but hes retired & although I have many lovely friends with lovely horses, I feel too fat to ride😢
Size 18, hour glass but have a tummy as well🤦‍♀️, tend to live in baggy joggers & hoodies, I need to get out this rut as I am at uni for the next 4 yrs.

Roman Originals dress, size 18
Mint Velvet shirt, size 18
Jigsaw trainers.

That's a great outfit!

Love that dress Wandering!

No meetings or zoom calls today, might actually get some work done! Only reason I'm not in tatty joggers is because I'm going to post office at lunch. Its my black cargo jeans again with a blue square neck top from next. 16 on the bottom, 14 on the top.

Morning all!

I'm wearing something like this dress today but an older version in a slightly different fabric - more like a brushed cotton. I wore it a lot last winter with black tights and boots and I think my version looked better like that as it's a sort of cosy fabric but today I just don't care!

Another lovely dress wandering!

livingdeadgirl, YY, a trip to the post office feels like such an event these days .

Here I am in my L&Y grey Umis, size XL, tall. Long sleeved tee from Uniqlo and flatform suede trainers from Asos. Deliberately showing you a side view because I spilt hand soap all over myself just before I took the photo I think it shows that, despite my massive tum, (and it really is disproportionately large), I think these look quite good, even from the side.

Boden girlfriend jeans and a blue Tommy Hillfigger sweatshirt
Ugg slippers at the moment but for the school run I will change into White French connection slip on platform trainers and stock on my Helly Hansen
