That's one of the more serious brands, so it should at least be properly waterproof

 

[Biddlybee]

Or maybe I'm better off waiting for sales?

Well, it's says it's already marked down to roughly half price. I don't think you'd get one much cheaper than that.

 

[Biddlybee]

I meant in general, rather than for that one in particular. But yeh, that one isn't a bad price.

 

[Biddlybee]

Or TKMaxx... maybe I need to pop in there.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Actually pinkmonkey got a nice one off ebay.

Very cheap though, £15 one size fits nobody. Looks ok on but the lining isn't put in properly and the outer bit can slide away, leaving you wearing the lining with the fur hanging off your arms. Odd. It was a drunken ebay purchase. But at least I can wear it to parties and not get upset if it gets lost of damaged.

TKMaxx have masses of outdoor wear in and some really good brands last time I looked

 

[Rebelda]

I also think that as one's assets move downwards over the years, that can affect fit in that respect.

Indeed. I always buy dresses with pockets these days - to put my tits in

I struggle with the waist thing, being tall. Hobbs tend to do a couple of dresses per season with the waistline in the right place.

I wouldn't normally spend so much on a hat but I used the last of the birthday vouchers

It's a lovely hat

The fake fur bobble is a nice touch, the hat's deep ribbing should stop it creeping upwards, and if that's going to keep you happy as well as warm, it's a bargain.

Can I have a moan about clothes? I'm really struggling to find things to fit because since I was last pregnant, it seems you can no longer be fat AND tall AND pregnant. I'm a size 20L. Almost no where does 20L maternity clothes. I can't find a maternity coat because I'm tall so the sleeves don't fit on normal coats. I can't find any trousers. It's really getting me down.

I can't be the only tall/fat pregnant woman in the fucking UK

 

[Ms T]

Can someone help me find a coat like this please, but a bit cheaper

TKMaxx has loads of parka-style jackets at the moment. I got a really nice one from a Danish brand the other day with a fake fur lining.

 

[Ms T]

Not just short in the waist, but roughly where the natural waistline is assumed to be when making clothes for small children ie. just under the lowest rib.

As for *ahem* fallen assets, well, maybe a bit, but in that case a lot of tops are obscenely low if they're even too low cut to avoid showing my bra.

That's where my waist is. Where's it supposed to be?

 

[Ms T]

I got some glittery t-bar shoes from Next that are like party shoes for grown-ups.

I went in this morning and although there were quite a few nice ones there I'm not after a parker style, more a mac with a hood. I think I might chance it on the trespass one. If it's crap I'll send it back

I bought my first jeggings the other day, they're really comfy

 

[Greebo]

For measurement purposes, not usually where that lowest rib is! It's more reliable to fasten a bit of elastic, slightly stretched, a couple of inches above your hips, then bend and twist in different directions. Where it ends up is your natural waistline - the narrowest part of your body. In this picture, the lowest rib is roughly level with the white panel and slightly above the model's elbows, while her waist is a few inches lower.

My waist is obviously quite high then. But I still find that lots of stuff doesn't fit. Usually too short (dresses, trousers). Or too low-waisted (jeans, trousers).

 

[Boudicca]

Heads up to all the large arsed women out there - Evans wide leg pear shaped jeans. First comfortable pair of jeans I have had in ages.
