Pub/party outfit for older plumpish woman

10 replies

lilolilmanchester · 21/05/2010 21:44

Help! am 5'4; size 14; 38c/d bust; plump round stomach and thighs.... am a trouser/top person but the strappy tops I used to wear are out (need supportive bra) and can't do halter necks or anything that reveals too much of my broad shoulders. Don't do pinks or pastels. Have tried and tried to find a top or two to glam up trusty trouser/jeans/crops. Nothing suits or fits! Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

How about one of those kaftan type tops that tie at the back ?

Something like this

don't dislike that Rexy (thanks), tho think that is probably a bit warm for busy pubs/dancing occasions?? Can't do strapless.

ooh, am liking that! Will check it out and try it on...any other suggestions (cos I know there's a good chance that won't fit, don't do well with M&S)

Go to tesco they have some fab tops in at the mo a bit 'rock chick' with sequins and studs etc - easily dressed up or down and they have short sleeves and kind of drape ....£10 tops you wont be disappointed.

thanks nickschick. Grey not my colour BUT love the styles you have chosen. Funnily enough was in Tesco today, loved a couple of tops which just didn't fit right (and can't find them online to show you) have seen this online www.clothingattesco.com/New-In-Womens/F+F-Handkerchief-hem-top/invt/bb012526 which I like, didn't see in the shop today, but shows the sort of thing I'd like (happy for it to be a bit glitzier)
