I would love some wide navy trousers in flannel or wool. Not thin and plastic. Nope never happens. How about you?

@BigFatBloomers, that’s perfect! Amazing! Now if they could deliver it by 1pm, that would be amazing!!

Excellent! I’m glad there was some benefit to my sleeplessness Grin

Plain, simple, light, good quality, edge to edge jacket. No collars, buttons, frills, ruching, lining, or anything like that - almost like a cardigan but more fitted, with a bit of stretch, and in a more formal fabric. I would buy one in every colour. Something that looks smart for work without screaming ‘LOOK AT ME’, and can equally be worn with jeans and a top for that smart casual look without looking like you’re wearing your work jacket with your jeans.

@SarahBellam This may be a bit too heavy but is it the sort of thing you’re looking for ?

Anyone up for a challenge? I’m looking for a deep scooped back or backless one piece swimming cossie that meets the following criteria.

  • No straps across the back, a lot have racer backs or bra like bands, I want a simple very low back.
  • Needs to accommodate a lot up front, l’m a 36F, although it doesn’t have to come in a cup size.
  • Brazilian cut on the bum. In other words quite cheeky but not a thong back. Similar to M&S Brazilian knix. I have a flat bum and other styles look as if I’m wearing my mum’s knickers!
  • No silly cut out panels elsewhere.

It doesn’t exist, does it?

A swimsuit for tall, busty women who’d like some tummy control. You can get all three of those things separately but not together.

I have a really fine white linen shirt almost lawn it's so loosely woven. I bought it from East about 10 years ago and I have never found anything with such soft linen again. I'm still wearing it but it's on its last legs now!

@Lissie87 here you go Not specifically tummy control, but good thick fabric, that is robust but still allows you to breathe!

@LouisaMayAlcott I have been searching for one of these for years now too... please do share if you have any success in finding one!

@Laska2Meryls I think I know the exact boots you mean! Were they slightly slouchy with a strap that wrapped round and a buckle? I had them in a sort of sludgy olive grey and also reheeled them several times! Never found a pair since.

Mine is... A black chunky Cardigan in a natural fibre, preferably cotton so not too itchy - must cover bum. Pockets. I pretty much found one that I love from "the knotty ones" - it arrives on Monday and I'm nervous. It doesn't have pockets but they are sending my the yarn to add some myself... It was not cheap either (£200!) so I am probably a bit mad. But if it is "the one", then years of searching will be over!
