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).

Welcome @GreyHare Smile! I also love your trainers!

Here I am (crap photo, sorry), in new girlfriend jeans and t shirt, both from Tu. I got a few bits from there recently and am quite pleased with them all. Their jeans are fab and so cheap!

Casual day working from home. I think summer is over in the north west.

I'm wearing this again, in bright blue, with black leggings. Still summer in London.
Btw, can anyone give helpful tips on how to copy a photo rather than a link onto this board? Is there something special I need to do, because the normal copy function doesn't seem to work with photos.

LadyPrigsbottom · 26/08/2020 19:53

@DelphiniumBlue, I tend to d/l the photo, or screenshot and then attach it using the attach link.

Here I am on a day out a theme park with DH and the dcs today.

I am in grey GF jeans, 16, Tu
Stripy tshirt, 16, M&S
Black cardi, 18, Tu
White trainers, 7, Fitflop

All quite new (to accommodate lockdown weight gain Blush). Such a long day! Kids had a blast. Was so nice to be able to go.

Today I was wearing the khaki dungarees I got from Tesco sale rail the other week, and a collectif stripey t-shirt. Its a slobbing around the house kinda getup.

However I've also been prancing around in a dress I just finished making. Please admire the bee buttons Grin And the shoes I painted to match.

@sonjadog, I think I luffs your outfit 😻. Your pinnie is such a lovely colour and looks great with the shirt and tights!

Here I am in Hush tshirt and cargo trousers from Tu.

Will probably wear with whit Fitflop trainers.

Thanks! The pinafore is about 4 sizes too big. It was 5 pounds in the New Look sale last winter and I decided for that price to get it anyway. Now I actually really love the bigness of it. It is so comfy and with pinafores it doesn't really matter if they are on the loose side. With a tighter top underneath they still look okay.

LadyPrigsbottom · 27/08/2020 17:43

Yes, I definitely agree, pinafores look great on the loose side, except when they're made from heavier, less soft and pliable material, like a stiff denim. Then they dont fall right in bigger sizes I find.

Might peruse New Look for a nice, soft one a few sizes up! Thanks for the tip.

New Look had fantastic pinafores last winter. They haven't got them at the moment, but I am hoping they come back in the autumn/winter.

sonjadog · 27/08/2020 18:03

Also, yes that denim pinafores are an exception to the pinafore rule. I don't have a denim one because of this. I have tried MANY, but none of them sat right.

Tescos size 14 dress I've squeezed myself into with new grey snags.

Not really had any interesting outfits to post a lately ....
@sugarbum I love your dresses that you've made!! Lovely style and fab patterns !
@sonjadog that pinafore is very nice, looks great with what you've styled it with!!

sonjadog · 27/08/2020 21:15

Thanks!

I like that Tescos dress. I wish it were possible to buy their clothes online. They seem to have some nice things.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 27/08/2020 21:21

I got this on Ebay, like most my clothes but yeah they do have some nice things. I love the way the dress hangs but it is 100% polyester so it gets a bit whiffy after a day on my feet.

Love that @DelphiniumBlue!

Love the Tesco dress too @LivingDeadGirlUK. I also wish I could get Tesco clothes online. Our Tesco isn't big enough for a clothes section, but I've had some nice bits from there in the past. Sainsbury's has been good for me recently and they do online.
