I need a raincoat but I have real trouble finding one which fits over my bum. I have massive shoulders so if I get one which fits the bottom half, I look awful and huge on the top half.
I'm an hourglass 16 and look really nice in normal coats, especially if they're belted. And perfectly fine in other clothes - but outdoor wear makes me look terrible (does anyone look nice in walking trousers, they don't work with my thick thighs and small waist) Proportionally, everything is fine and I go in at the middle and out at my shoulders and hips. I've got nice long limbs and I'm average height at 5'7. In theory, a nice coat, boots and hat should be one of my best outfits!
I'm quite happy to buy a bigger size as long as it's not ginormous on the top. Sadly, trying on bigger sizes just leaves me looking like a satsuma on legs - and I'm vain enough to think I'd rather just be wet and cold. I was thinking about buying a wax jacket stockman coat as these look quite loose at the bottom or like a long parka style. Budget to £100. Edgy or classic over mumsy.
Any ideas? Or suggestions for brands which suit fat bottomed girls?
