I love Kat Farmer but her body is nothing like mine so I can't use her for clothes tips. Helen Thorn has gone all amazing and got fit & slinky.

I'm 5'4", mid-fifties. 2 stone overweight probably so chubby but hourglass/curvy, fat tummy. Good boobs and still have sort of a waist. I'm embracing my menopause body and want to dress to suit it instead of covering it all up and feeling baggy & frumpy.

I live in hoodies, jeans & trainers but would like some shape and confidence and be able to dress up a little.

Any suggestions who I can follow on social media who looks like me?

Back of the wardrobe 70. She’s 5’5 and size 14.

MrsHaroldRobbins · 17/02/2023 16:52

I like fatfaband40plus on Instagram. She always looks fab.

MrsHaroldRobbins · 17/02/2023 16:53

Sorry fabfatandfortyplus.

Sorry fabfatandfortyplus.

I can’t see anyone stylish

TheThirdKit · 17/02/2023 17:28

Slim pickings. I can't believe there aren't more people out there who look like me but manage to style themselves well and look great. I must be a niche market.

Emily Innes at Style Me Happy (on Insta and FB)

Are there any particular clothes brands you like? If so then try looking at posts they've been tagged in on Instagram. That way you can see what their clothes look like on all different people and from there you might see someone who you would like to follow.

I follow curvesandcampervans. She's a bit younger than me - I'm 50 - but I like her style.

MsJuniper · 18/02/2023 09:45

mama loves leopard is younger but the right height and shape. I really enjoy her posts and she tries on a lot of clothes I wouldn't have considered but look nice especially how she styles them.

LadyEloise1 · 18/02/2023 10:04

@Theos
"I can't see anyone stylish"

Neither can I.
But she seems nice.

her eye make up is terrifying

Theos · 18/02/2023 13:09

And literally no one needs to see someone’s pudendum this close

touterustome · 18/02/2023 13:40

Maybe @wearsmymoney on Instagram?

Cantonet · 18/02/2023 13:41

Clubfortyclaire, TheSilverCat, back ofthewardrobe70 are all Instagram I accounts I follow in my 50's. They are all 50ish I think. I think middle aged overweight women are thin on the ground as we're not that appealing to look at 😂 I follow all sorts of ages & styles. But minimalist monochrome dressing is my favourite. And if I like them is an important criteria.
I enjoy looking at fabfat&40+ account.
The pile it all on eclectic look suits her personality as it works for her.
@Theos your comments are downright mean.

CrystalMaisie · 18/02/2023 14:07

Erica Davies, she’s 5’5 I think

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 18/02/2023 14:11

I agree re Kat Farmer. I love her and she looks amazing in everything but she is not my bodyshape at all.

Charley50 · 18/02/2023 14:24

Another one for wearsmymoney.
Her edits emails are good

Theos · 18/02/2023 15:34

Not as mean as that gymwear. Eek

Cantonet · 18/02/2023 15:49

Ok @theos you do have a point there😳
I've just checked out that account.
Very unflattering ...

pinkyvase · 18/02/2023 16:13

instagram.com/inpolife sounds like what you're looking for

octoberafternoons · 18/02/2023 16:59

Emmapaton__ maybe? She's about a size 12 and I really like seeing how clothes look on her.

Bohemond · 18/02/2023 17:21

Natasha Musson.
