Plus size style/what are you wearing

[Mylee]

Have seen a few old threads like this so stole the idea hoping for some inspiration

I'm currently living in leggings and jumpers, or baggy dresses and tights. I've recently lost just over 2 stone and hoping to lose more. My body size/type is already changing but I just don't know how to dress. I am 5ft4 and around a size 18 now. I don't really like my stomach area, and I have chunky arms and thighs and big boobs

Would love to know where everyone gets their clothes from and also some inspiration for outfit ideas. I usually use ASOS, Boohoo, New Look etc but finding that everywhere has crop tops etc which I really don't want

Hello! I'll join you.

I dipped in an out of the old threads and found them good fun

I'm also a size 18, but a little taller (5'8"). I'm not losing weight though . Probably should be trying to! And maybe I will.

Today I'm wearing very uninspiring leggings, t-shirt and hoodie. Earlier I was in my work uniform, which is jeans and a t-shirt! I am on the look out for some flattering dresses as I don't feel very feminine at the moment, wearing jeans all day at work and leggings on days off.

I'm an hourglass shape, but a rather fat one

I'm also 5'4 and and an 18/20.
Today I'm wearing Simply Be Bella straight leg jeggings and a burgundy soft long jumper from Next, and Fitflop black suede ankle boots.
But mostly I have been wearing midi dresses with tights and DMs.
Like this one liveunlimitedlondon.com/products/live-jersey-v-neck-midi-dress?variant=39508029046844.

One dress I did get recently was from M&S. It's one of their maxi dresses and I really like it.

I am possibly more an 18/20.

I'm in scruffs today!
Work outfit last week
Wallis top
M&S skirt
Snag tights
Office boots (ankle length heeled)

Oh thank God! That photo isn't you "in scruffs" 😂. Was thinking "shit, if that's you in scruffs I seriously need to up my game"!

Love that outfit. Really flattering.

Hooray for a plus size thread! Although I'm by far the biggest so far... I'm 5'8" and a UK 24.

I usually wear dresses with tights and DMs, jeans with a dress over it and DMs or trainers, or dungarees.

God no Today I had on a boohoo jumper which has a hole in it and some unflattering animal print joggers

Yay hello everyone! Glad I’m not alone

@WearingPurpleAlready that’s what I’m finding too, I work in a very casual office so mostly wear hoodies/oversized jumpers, leggings etc and want to look a bit more feminine and put together

@DelphiniumBlue love that dress! Think I might have to get one to try. I usually go for black but might have to try something different and a bit more out there

@Mediocrates where do you get your dungarees from? I’ve been looking for a pair but haven’t had any luck so far

I also thought @NotMyCat was saying that was Scruffs and thought I seriously needed to up my game how do you find snag tights? I’ve been struggling to find any that fit properly but aren’t too long. Most places seem to think everyone is really tall

They do a short in their sizing if that helps! I'm 5ft 10 so the standard work for me

I would love to wear dresses and tights but I really struggle to find a dress that fits. I have massive thighs and backside and find that anything that fits me in that area is too big everywhere else. My usual size just doesn’t work in dresses as it’s clinging to my legs. Has anybody else in the same position found any good everyday dresses?

I’ve got the black/cream print paisley one, too. They are so easy , loose around the middle and more fitted at the top, which works for me. Also nice with a cardi on top and a slip underneath in cold weather.

Snag tights- I find them fab! I get size E , I’m 5’4, 18/20 ,works fine. They also do footless tights.

@louloulemons I sound similar build to you in that I also have massive thighs and bum. If I do wear dresses, I tend to wear loose t-shirt style midi dresses with a belt, or skater dresses so they come in at the waist but fit everywhere else nicely

5'7", size 16-18
Today I'm in a tube skirt (Next), black opaques (Snag) and a blue jumper (Next again, I think).
Yesterday I was in the cotton jersey dress from Toast.
I prefer skirts and dresses, and at this time of year I like Chelsea boots

I'm size 18, maybe 20. I'm living in tracksuits at home but recently had a party and got a gorgeous dress from Evans website. I never wear dresses normally because my lower half is much bigger size than my top half, but this one really worked and I actually looked nice (doesn't happen often!). Long sleeves, which I also avoid, but were generously fitting, elasticated waist, and long length.

I've branched out today! Finished work and changed into NOT my usual leggings, but a faux leather skirt and navy t-shirt with black tights and cardi. I don't know if I look amazing, but I do feel better for it. Even though it's only for the school run

I'm 5" 7" and heading towards a 16. Today I'm wearing a landscape design hoodie and black jersey trousers . My wardrobe tends to have two functions casual and smart , not a lot in the middle.

I'm waiting for my ASOS delivery, a white mini shirt dress and a gold chain belt. I'm hoping it will go with my crushed velvet leggings and black ankle boots without me looking like an elf.

Ooh can I join.
I'm 5'7 size 16 but most of the time am 18 on top because of massive boobs.
Am wearing today uniqlo lined joggers and a uniqlo fleece hoodie.

5' 3", was a 20, am down to almost a 16 now. Today I'm wearing a typical WFH ensemble. H&M jumper dress, ASOS leggings and super sexy slipper boots - all black

Can I join? I've gone from a size 26 a few years ago to a size 16/18 now and here I'll stay most likely. I'm 5.5 and v top heavy.

I love clothes and have too many tbh - unfortunately today I'm in stripey prison style pajamas 🤣 I'm stuck in bed with a really rubbish trapped nerve that I've had for over a week. New meds will hopefully sort it out though.

I love dressing up, hardly have anything to dress up for those days though ... fave shop atm is m and s - they've got some lovely bits!

Found a pic from a couple of weeks ago, top is river island ( I do love a jumper/shirt combo ) leggings are primark, boots m and s and coat is the white company from their sale outlet in Biscester.

I think this is sort of my style most of the time although I am fond of skirts and dresses too.

Lovely @Wagsandclaws!

V chic

I have attempted a photo....but it's shite! Can't really see what I'm wearing. Think I need to enlist dh or dcs for a photo shoot tomorrow

Anyway, it's a brown mini skirt with a top tucked in and cardigan over the top. Skirt and top are M&S. The cardigan is &Other Stories.

I'm an 18/20, top heavy, apple shape I think.

Ooh I'll join! Feeling short of outfit inspo at the moment. I'm 5"3 and an 18, sometimes a 16 depending on the shop. I mostly wear dresses out of the house (leggings and hoodies when running after the toddler at home!)

Today I'm wearing a faux leather jacket from New Look, a black and cream dotty dress that comes just above the knee from Fatface, trusty black Snag tights and biker boots. Most outfits are a variation on this theme. Am struggling to find non-frumpy casual dresses in the shops at the moment!

@WinifredTheWondrous I love and other stories although I tend to be stuck with their knitwear as they don't go very large with their clothes. I get my Dd ( 29 ) to take my pics as I put them in insta sometimes, she's quite good now 

@EvenLess07 that sounds like a nice outfit, I love a dotty dress with a biker jacket!
