I am....

5ft 7in (32in inside leg)

Size 12- 14

Curvy (I have a waist, hips, tits and an arse).

Must be single breasted and probably reasonably low cut on the jacket as I'm a 32F and anything high necked looks frumptastic on me.

Not bothered about the colour. Also need a top to go with it (sexy, showing flesh but not tarty please).

It needs to be a tailored type, nothing loose fitting

Budget-wise, I'm easy. Show me anything from all ends of the £££ scale.

Oh, colouring wise, I'm a dark brunette, dark eyes, light olive skin

I have a gorgeus trouser suit tuxedo from Monsoon, bought last year. It is cut to flatter curves and I always get lots of compliments in it.

twinsetandpearls · 18/11/2007 18:22

trouser suit in the autograph collection, not sure how sexy though

CodDickinson · 18/11/2007 18:25

zut alors its peruna

twinsetandpearls · 18/11/2007 18:26

that one looks better than the autograph one.

What about zara?

NomDePlume · 18/11/2007 18:26

Not liking the sound of 100% polyester (not exactly Luxe...) or metallic fibres. Not big on that weirdy mandarin collar affair either.

OOOOH, Zara I like. Good cut for my shape. Maybe I'll trek into Brum one day

NomDePlume · 18/11/2007 18:28

I quite like the Per Una one, although as ever M&S marketing dept should be shot for their photography skills....

Velvet trousers sound a bit scary though

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 18/11/2007 18:30

white one from autograph - not very sexy [sad

black one from autograph

They may look better when on I am sure mine does not look that great on a website but is fab when on.

NomDePlume · 18/11/2007 18:31

I like the trousers on the second autograph one.

CodDickinson · 18/11/2007 18:32

NomDePlume · 18/11/2007 18:34

I wore a dress last year (which I lurve) but am a stone fatter than I was last year [mortal shame] and need tailoring to hoist in my chunkiness

NomDePlume · 18/11/2007 18:37

[sob]

I may go for the sexy 50's siren look instead with fishnets, curvy skirt and platform type heels, instead. Celebrate my -fat- womanly curves...

That hobbs one is nice but if you feel you are carrying extra weight do you want velvet?
