What are cigarette cut jeans?

Apparently like skinny but not tapered after the knee, so a bit less snug at the ankle

moose where is the velvet t shirt dress from please? You're spawning an army of mini mooses

It is indeed ASOS Curve - so unfortunately it starts at size 18 for the non-so-mini moose!
And thanks such and such

This, which essentially a big comfy velvet t-shirt, and just needs chucking on with some loud jewellery and big boots. It's a lot longer on me, obvs.

You're welcome. I'm on ASOS so often I recognise the background/poses/models they often use. Haven't found anything I haven't anything I've wanted recently even with their current 30% off thing.

Boohoo also had a sale so got this for summer times

 

[RubyToogood]

I bought a lovely aran style jumper, except it's much thinner wool and lacey. Toasty without being stifling.

I'm always a bit dubious about vintage arans because I'm never sure they're really vintage and they're often acrylic.

This one I think is wool, from having done a burn test, and is clearly hand-knitted.

I got a lovely purple cashmere v-neck from the charity shop today for a sweet £1.50.

I plan to team it with a pink gingham shirt tomorrow.

For those that liked moose's Joe Browns dress, there's 20% off Joe Browns stuff on fashion world. HKQC5. It'll probably work on simply be too. [emoji4]

Squiggle!

The green sparkly dress has been delivered and it's probably the first dress in a while which I've liked on myself.

 

[Looby]

I really want it but my belly is bigger than my tiny norks so I don't think it'll suit me.

Having posted my new dress 'as worn by a waif' further up the thread, I'm thinking of starting a website where you post the sales picture of the dress and then what it ACTUALLY looks like on a size 20 real human being.

 

[Sea Star]

I've decided not to buy anything else until I've dropped a dress size in weight! It will hurt, but it has to be done. I just hope I lose weight before I'm walking about in just rags!

 

[Cribynkle]

Coated skinnies, they rustle a bit but are the first black trousers I've had in ages that cat hair doesn't stick to

 

[zoooo]

New boots that are a little bit broguey.

And some jeans from M&S. Because I like the stripey edge.

 

[kalidarkone]

This from Monsoon for my Dad's funeral. I'm not a great one for dressing up, but I feel the occasion warrants it and he would have appreciated it. It's actually a strapless dress with a kind of lace crop top which camouflages the belly quite well.

Very sorry for your loss (((Boudicca))), I've only just seen this. Very suitable - smart and sombre enough but not so plain that it wouldn't be you. I'm sure your Dad would approve.

AFAIK Simply Be and the associated catalogues use size 16 models for some clothes, but even so, they're taller than average (models are often over 5'8"), so the proportions are still going to look different. BTW if you start that thread/page/site, I suspect you'll find a lot of shorter women posting.

In that case, I need some in my life.

 

[weepiper]

Winter trainers for the smallest pipelet

and a new schoolbag for the middle one

 

[Cribynkle]

In that case, I need some in my life.

They're fab! Mine are mat ones from Next but lots of places do them. Apparently the New Look ones are good

 

[danski]

Got some snazzy blue legs for winta

I'm partial to anything that cat hair doesn't stick too. I might need these
