Fatty needing inspiration

Hey folks

I am fully aware I am fat and u ought to sort it out, but honestly now is not the time. Stressful job, dh's son died at 16 in Feb and both his birthday and the inquest are imminent so I simply have no motivation to diet or exercise.

But I need to update my wardrobe. I am so fed up of being in jeans and t shirts. The high street is awful for plus size. Yours is atrocious, their sizing is appalling and everything is just so oversized

I am mid 40's a 22-24 depending on style, I have huge boobs (42J) so anything with buttons ends up having to be so huge it looks like a sack just to do up safely. All my weight is on my tummy and I have a substantial apron hanging which I hate.

Please suggest mid range brands that I can look at. Looking for smart casual as well as something a bit more special for a weekend away with DH next month.

Thanks

Tough year. My condolences.

This should be of immense help with clothes shopping - very geared to High Street / mid range brands:

Ulla Popken is good quality and I've always had good dealings with their customer services. You can also buy via Topcashback.
