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).

It could happen to a bishop, Living, as my nan used to say. A bishop with a smart phone, obviously Grin.

I'd love to join in and have just tired to take a selfie, but when I do it, you can't see any of my bottom half because my (stupid) boobs are too big... Blush. You all look great though - thank you for the thread!

okiedokieme · 03/08/2020 10:56

Jeans, fleece and a vest top here, it's only 14 degrees in the northern parts!

LadyPrigsbottom · 03/08/2020 11:09

You're most welcome @DottyDotAgain Smile!

@okiedokieme, tbh, I would take 14 degrees over the 35 we had last weekend and which is due again this weekend 😩. I am not built for heat Blush. I'm pale and.. erm.. well insulated.

Looking back at my posts my outfits are so casual now compared to pre Covid. I'm either at home or on a construction site because all meetings are remote so I'm not wearing my tailored dresses, skirts etc. It's a bit of a shame I might make a bit more effort for the home office tomorrow.

JerseyMermaid · 03/08/2020 14:50

Can I join in please? Long time lurker, first post!
I love clothes and how you can use them to change how you feel about yourself.
I’m a size 18/20 currently but much prefer it when I am a 16.
Wearing a new dress today purchased last week in the Monsoon sale £24. I’ve used a large belt I’ve had since the 80s to bring it in. The dress has a tie at the neck, but I’ve tucked that down the inside of the dress to keep the V shape which is much more flattering on my boobs!

Wow, I'm impressed you made your own skirt @Oopsadaisydoddle! That's amazing and it looks lovely.

Morning all.

I've gone "retro" today. Not in a vintage edgy way, just clothes I've had for years. A navy and white flared skirt from M&S - the sort the real fashion people scoff at but which actually looks very nice thankyouverymuchindeed. With a 3/4 sleeve heavy cotton white t-shirt from Rowlands. Cost a fortune as I recall which is probably why it's lasted so well.

LadyPrigsbottom · 04/08/2020 09:26

Morning!

StCharlotte, I happen to love M&S clothes and I don't care who knows it Grin!

Here I am in Seasalt dress, 18. Planning to wear with either DMs or white trainers.

I've just treated myself to some giant knickers from The Big Bloomer Company, after someone linked to it on the old lady fashion thread. I find all my pants sit a bit wrong under dresses with no tights...? Does anyone else get that? I like short style ones for under skirts and dresses as I am usually crawling around on the floor with a toddler! But my Uniqlo ones fall down. In fact, most of my pants fall down a bit. Must be my lack of bum and giant tummy!!! Fingers crossed these things do the job.

@LivingDeadGirlUK I know. I was feeling like this about lockdown. Not that I wear office clothes anyway, but I certainly was just ending up in comfy jeans and a big tshirt during lockdown. Part of the reason I started this thread was to make me put some effort in!

Yeah still casual today... in my defence its really chilly again. Black cargo jeans size 16 and purple T is from one of stitch fix's brands in a 14. I've then thrown on my fluffy polar bear fleece that came with my PJ's :p

I'm in a tea dress from ASOS today with my trusty Snag vanilla marshmallow tights. Not one of my usual colours - It's described as 'Camel' but I think it's more 'Builders Tea'. I'd much prefer a dark green or burgundy but I do like the tea dress shape.

I think thats a lovely shade on you Chequerboard!

LordOfTheOnionRings · 04/08/2020 12:55

@ChequerBoard you look great! Snag tights are a godsend. I wear the chubrub tights and they have stopped many a blister in a place where blisters should not be.
