What should a fat middle aged woman wear on a beach holiday?

[KristinaM]

Title says it all really [sigh]

Last time I was on a beach holiday was in another century, when I was size 8 and toned. I have no idea what to wear now

My tummy is better than my lardy arse and my fat, white, lumpy, veiny thighs. But not toned exactly, no.

random typos. sorry.

on flotilla you can wear lots of fatface ripcurl animal etc surf stuff

linen tunics over loose trousers or knee length loose shorts - choose a deep v neck to flatter.

Choose 'sohisticated' colours and simple arty jewellry.

Look, we all have wobbly bits even the thin ones.
A good costume and some nice cover ups for walking around.

Also have a look at these products for instant glowing skin
I saw someone with 'Pin Perfection Invisible Tights' - her legs looked brilliant.

Love your kitchen

Ok - down to business - {{http://www.littlewoods.com/rf/navigation/product.do?categoryId=7206934&spreadId=7310243&linkId=735 6084 swimsuit]]

t shirts

dressier top

kaftan

wide leg trousers to balance out norks

dress - put a vest top under if too much clevage

thanks ponce, will check out fig leaves

had not thought of glam sandles...i guess the 10 year old plastic flip flops are out then???

I dont sun bathe - no patience and i have enough wrinkles alreday. Will be swimming windsurfing and sailing with occasional lounge in shade

and wafting of course

rosa - if you are young enough to do the sporty look you could do the bikini top with boarder shorts thing

Miraclesuit swimsuit as per islingtonponce is a great idea - I have one, 5'4", 12 stone (should be 9 stone) but check out ebay for half price versions or if using figleaves.com, google for discount vouchers as there always seem to be some.

windsurfing, wow I used to be able to do that

6084 swimsuit

miracle swimsuit doesnt last long tho i bought one in september and by december it was going see thru luckily it was also too big by then but what a waste of 110 quid

why can't I get this bleeding link to work

swimsuit

mmmm. did you look after it carefully and lovingly? mine has lasted v well. why didnt you complain?

cant be arsed

probably not i didnt realise what a delicate flower it was the stretchy bit is really thin

ooh thanks

am liking linen tunics and trousers advice as this is what i normally wear in the summer

fake tan also good idea

liking kafatn too

are these sarong thingies i used to wear now very last century??? or just not for fatties?

coudl you say more about teh stylish hat please ponce? i asssume you do not mean the kids baseball caps

now i have a bog standard speedo

NO sarongs.

dont know what hats suit you but you want something wide brimmed, a bit floppy. plain colour to go with everything. accesorize are really good for cheap hats. oh, and good for nice beach bag / capacious holiday bags too. definitely add nice bag to list. you dont want to be lounging by pool with your everyday leather handbag.

and who r u islington ponce

i am controlfreaky, seeing if my new name makes me less controlling (whilst still a ponce, obviously)

thanks for clearing that up

I woudl never DREAM of taking my leather handbag - i was going to use an asda plastic bag

but i am scared to now i knwo who you are ponce

why no sarong? [pouts]

yea what's wrong with sarong?

DH has torn himself away from laptop to mutter rude things about £100 swimsuit

dont worry i shall ignore him ( as always)

LOL califrau
