Best brands for slim-enough with boobs and bum?

[KingOfPeace]

My weight varies by about half a stone, higher when I'm on my meds or stress eating. When it's low I can generally fit quite well in anything that's a 10 with some stretch. When it's higher just sizing up doesn't work, my waist and rib cage don't get much bigger just my boobs, upper arms and hips/bum.

I've just seen photos from a weekend somewhere warm, oh dear. I ended up in elastic waist trousers and shorts and t-shirts that fit my bust then hang and I look much larger than I am.

I could lose the weight and probably will get my act together before Christmas but it'd be nice to buy a few things for now and other times I am this weight.

Are there any brands I should look for? I particularly want a good wool winter coat that fits rather than hangs. I'm 49, 5'6, 32G and currently a 12 with stretch.

Thank you.

Budget wise up to £100 per item, pref closer to £50. £200ish for the coat.

If there are great brands outside my price range I'll look on vinted.

All Saints would be worth checking out as some of their stuff is meant to look a little over sized I think. It’s not cheap and might not be your aesthetic.

I have the opposite body shape to you (large frame but limited curves) and find that I can never wear Whistles clothes as they seem to be cut for smaller framed people with boobs and hips - so I’m wondering if they may work for you?

Thank you, I don't shop at either of those so worth a look.

I was musing on how unfair this is today but actually our skeletons are very similar so the thinner you are the more true to size you are. When we gain weight we don't all gain it in the same place so all they can do is increase all the measurements.

Maybe I need to buy and have it altered. I CBA with that unless for a special occasion!
