[quote SmaugMum]@ScottishMouse, genuinely, that looks really good on you - I definitely don’t think it’s too large at all. I love your whole outfit and I note that you are a scarf woman, too.
I’m possibly in the minority here but I hate things that ‘just’ fit, I like to be able to feel comfortable and move properly in my clothes, and also be able to layer underneath. I particularly like long sleeves, especially in the winter, as there’s no need for pesky gloves.
think I’ve absorbed my tight-arse parents’ of always buying clothes with plenty of ‘growing room’ (and I’m truly not mentally scarred by the memory of turning up to secondary school at 11 wearing an age 16 blazer! 😅)[/quote]
Oh yes, my mum was the same. By the time anything actually fitted me it was about 5 years old. I got a new Barathea blazer for high school, and was still wearing it six years later. At which point my brother had to wear it, despite all his protestations that it buttoned the wrong way. He’s still bitter about that 50 years on!
