You could start a whole other thread on clothing fit. There's enough sewing types about that they might have ideas on many issues.

 

[such and such]

Good idea!

It's any wonder I don't fall over more often than I do zenie

How very B*ton Cool

I like!



You know GAP is US sizing right? So a 12 is a 16.

No - it's a UK 10/US 6 - it's like they'd just added an extra inch ALL THE WAY DOWN as the sizes go up!

There is that 15% off voucher you could use, should you find an excuse to buy it, btw (although defo TRY IT ON before you buy!). ;-)

I LOL'd at the Brighton cool thing, btw - the two standard measures me and my bezzer have of my clothing purchases, is whether they've strayed too far into *baby clothes* OR *bRightOn mother* hehehe!

This fits into both categories, tbf - although I'd have to be wearing some ART shoes or summink with it for the full Brighton mother look

Not just big in proportion, the widest part of your bust's higher up than clothing manufacturers expect.

There you were, thinking that not having droopy tits would be a good thing.

Do you have small feet too?

Art shoes!!!! Hahaha...it's a kind of hippy/earth 'relaxed' mother type isn't it?

I got….some sparkly buttons and some metal studded buttons to replace ones I’d lost, 2 pairs of summer shoes, some hair clips, earrings and a sailors hat

 

[such and such]

I think I'm a 4 1/2 - 5 in UK sizes. Is that small or average?

 

[wtfftw]

Studded buttons? Pics please.

 

[spanglechick]

i need to find a dress for my cousin's wedding next month (lovely normal member of the human race.) what's the wedding-guest dress code? i haven't been to a wedding since i was about 5 years old. don't wear white? or am i making that up? anyone recommend any sites that sell pretty dresses at affordable prices?

absolutely no white - some trad / older types look down on black - nothing attention-seeking or dramabomb (tight, lowcut, bright red frocks probably out), above knee is fine but shorter than that is contentious.

in between. UK average shoe size for women is 5 > 5.5

 

[such and such]

Got those for super duper cheap

(Please note, photo not of or by me)

alternatively, just buy a nice dress.

i'd agree that all white is out, but white with a coloured pattern is surely okay...

 

[killer b]

just wear whatever the fuck you want, unless you know that the bride is a mentalist.

Small side of average.

Studded buttons? Pics please.

Maybe I didn't describe that right...they're military studded things? Like on here

Got 'em in lewisham but the shop was pretty un fucking helpful Still....they didn't want £3.50 a button like John Lewis did

just wear whatever the fuck you want, unless you know that the bride is a mentalist.

Have known a fair few Bridezillas Ive worn white to weddings in the past and no-one's said a thing.

 

[wtfftw]

Oh. I get you.

 

[Badgers]

Fat Face Sweatshirt - like this one

Got it from the Barnardo's charity shop on Brixton Road for £4.49 and it is nice

 

[moonsi til]

I really like Fatface mens clothes (so does my BF) but I'm not so keen on the womens stuff. I find it too twee bar the odd item plus I find it on the expensive side for the womens stuff.

 

[killer b]

Some dr martens work boots from the bootmarket- £3.

I have been really lucky with their sales and charity shop finds.
Wifey has the same issues as you though

Moose

Is there anyway to make them bit comfier? I got given some black/green ones and they feel a bit tough, thinking insoles might help?

 

[killer b]

you've just got to break 'em in zenie. takes a while sorry...

 

[killer b]

my 'new' docs btw. someone else broke them in for me.

i think they need to be a bit darker though, so i might experiment with polish or something.

 

[zenie]

They are broken in already the person did it for me too I think it's the soles just seem hard....or is that what you mean?

I really like yours!!! Different

 

[killer b]

they're fucking heavy. my feet are now offensive weapons.

 

[zenie]

steel toes?

I feel a bit Jo Brand when I wear mine

 

[moose]

At least you have youth and slenderness on your side - I'm fat and old and have unruly hair, Jo and I could be sisters
I wear cushiony insoles in mine, Zenie, or those socks with extra thickly knitted soles.
