36c dress size 14. I want to buy something, preferably with suspenders, but as I'm a bit overweight ccertainly don't want that podgy bit between suspender belt and knickers. Something like a lacey all in one would be nice or an elegant set with long suspender belt any ideas?

Which podgy bit do you want to avoid? Belly/thigh or hipbone/thigh?

morningpaper · 14/07/2009 19:42

Ann Summers has a sale on

[[http://www.annsummers.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&parent_cate goryrn=10252&productId=66179&topcategory=10252&catalogId=40151&langId=-1 This is good if you are uncomfortable about your flabby bits - also handy for marital action as it does not impede entry and there is no undressing required

I meant this

CountessDracula · 14/07/2009 19:43

oh mp
purleese
Ann Summers???

Go to a nice independent undies shop I would say

morningpaper · 14/07/2009 19:47

Oooh I LOVE their undies

I bought three matching pairs in the sales last week for a bargainous price

I bought my chum a suspender skirt which isn't on their website but looked really amazing on, v v v flattering

higgle · 14/07/2009 19:48

morningpaper - that is very nice, though not too sure about the pink. I saw a Fantasie all in one with suspenders recommended by Gok last year, but can't find anything like it now - any more suggestions?

REally?
They alwasy look so cheap and shiny to me when I walk past the one in Richmond

morningpaper · 14/07/2009 19:49

of course you could go to your local independent shop but I always get scared by the old man that runs my local one and can't start bleating about suspenders

When I was in Ann Summers last week the woman in front of me was about 90

I didn't see what she was buying but it gave me much hope

They do have LOTS of cheap and shiny, you have to have a rummage

Good for ladies with small bosoms like myself as they do SERIOUS PADDING

Not much different to Gossard though

higgle · 14/07/2009 20:26

YouLukaAmazing - yes, that would be a definate "yes" but they only have it in tiny sizes now.

Bugger me ! Don't try La Senza if you are a 14. I'm a 12 and a 36C bust size and La Senza stuff is uncomfortable and small in the extreme. I am trying to wean DH off the bloody shop.

Are you cold?

BOFwithagallicshrug · 14/07/2009 21:32

A brand called Playful Promises is classy and affordable ime- we stock them in our shop.

higgle · 14/07/2009 21:57

BOFwithagallicshrug - Perfect, really lovely things and you can buy on line, so I've just ordered a Camille garter dress and matching thong. Hope that gets a result! here

frAKKINPannikin · 14/07/2009 22:34

For the fuller of figur (but they do smaller sizes too) I recommend Aubade. Pretty, sexy and practical!

BOFwithagallicshrug · 14/07/2009 22:42

I wish I was on commission

Hotmilk! my youngest is 14 and I was a dismal failure at breastfeeding anyway. I'm afraid there is no excuse for my podgy bits except over indulgence, this may however be a very good site for anyone with more self discipline than me! Stockings HQ have a gret sale on at the moment, ordered lots of goodies to go with my new underwear.
