Flattering-do you always choose to wear clothes that disguise your ‘flaws’ or ‘shortcomings’ or do you just wear what you want regardless?

I hate the word flattering as for me it’s synonymous with the word ‘slimming’ and making people look smaller.

As someone who has slimmed down a lot ( double digit dress size to single dress size) I don’t make it the primary reason for my outfit choices. For example I am petite and wearing wide leg jeans with chunky boots which I am sure don’t make me look taller but which I feel put together in.

I feel the same @Stillwearingskinnies in terms of finding the negative and it taking me losing weight to gain more confidence in what I am wearing and my appearance overall. Before I just wanted to blend into the background and for people not to look at me.

I agree about weight loss affecting your self confidence. When I was a size 22/24 I dressed to disappear (ironic, coz I was huge!)😆
Now I'm much smaller I pick things that make me happy....it might mean I wear dungarees or a posh frock food shopping or walking the dogs but I really couldn't care less!

I wear what I want but it does usually suit me. I have a large hourglassish figure as my boobs and hips are the same size and from the front I have a visible waist, no so much from the side.

I've given up worrying about what people think about what I'm wearing.
