Just that really, after loosing a lot of weight I am struggling to find things that suit. I have worked out most jeans have too high a waist meaning I need to fold it over but DHs Levi’s have the perfect fit around the tummy.

As shorty I really like a cropped trouser as they fit me like a regular trouser but I don’t know what kind of tops? I have always covered the tummy but I’m open to shorter length now.

Have spent the winter in leggings and long jumpers and I’m struggling with the change in weather as I have absolutely nothing to wear.

I like a chiffon type top or jersey material, not too clinging and I definitely don’t like rigid material with no stretch/movement.

The budget isn’t huge as I want to buy quite a few pieces so I'm ok with Next/M&S price points, although prefer Tesco and Matalan cost!!

Have a look at Melyr for tops

It would help if you say what your actual height is, @letshearitforDavid.

So many posters have a skewed perception of their own dimensions.
