If you wish you were lighter, what- if anything, would you wear that you don't wear at your current weight?

I am trying to lose some weight after gaining some over the past couple of years. I normally have a bit of a belly, even when I'm slimmer (my mum is the same), but this diminishes when I am lighter. Because of this belly I never wear tops that end at my waist because I'm self conscious. Now I'm slowly losing weight I'm looking forward to doing the 'French tuck' and wearing belts (no points in wearing them now with long tops above them).

I will also wear solid-colour dresses and figure-hugging t-shirts.

Yes I know the above may be shallow but that's how I feel.

If you wish you were lighter, would you wear different clothes as a slimmer version of yourself? If so, what?

Turtleneck jumpers, I've got about a stone off baby weight to lose that's hanging around my chin, and turtlenecks enhance the added chins. I have so many jumpers I'd love to wear.

Most things! If my body shape was different there would be no overhang of belly, I would not have fat knees and boobs would be smaller and I would look neater in stuff.. Not bothered about arse as I rarely see it!

I would love to wear 1920's style flapper dresses, wrqp dresses (that from the side make me look like I have swallowed a sofa.
