Jackie: I am just the same. I always have to take about four inches off the legs of trousers I buy. You can’t often find ’short’ length, if ever! Tops are often too tight around the boobs too. You’d think they would accept that we are not all thin and tall!

I have to agree with you and everyone else. I am heavy through the middle, yet, I am also short and have very short legs, along with being fairly well endowed in other areas.

If I find pants that fit around my waste then they are about a foot too long. If I find a shirt that will fit around my breast area then the sleeves are way too long.

I also agree with Kathy. Everything is just ugly this year. They seem to get worse and worse every year!!

I do so hope you both find something nice though and that you will have a great time!!

Big hugs…I have missed you and I hope you are still doing stories on Saturdays!!

Off now for a quick nap!:-)

Hope you have better luck. Either that, or get out the sewing machine like good old mum did.

Meleah: Unfortunately, I do have to try clothes on as it seems that no two of the same sizing are, in fact, the same size!

Michelle: I never had problems with clothes and could buy with ease until I gained more pounds. Now it’s a nightmare, unless I buy T-Shirts or a particular (expensive) brand!

Swubird: We have a similar store here but I find them too large and they don’t hang right on me. Oh well, I’ll keep trying

All I can say about this topic is keep on trucking. In my local mall they have a store for the larger sizes, but I’m no expert on how stylish they are.

Happy trails.

PS: Twiggy has always frightened me!
Yuck!

Have a terrific day Babs.

Kathy: I agree that the clothes are not at all attractive at the moment. Where are all the good fashion designers that create clothes that are flattering to the body?

Black cat: Yes, Mo says it’s a world for the young and we have become invisible. I think she is right, sadly.

Joanna: Oh yes, that is so true also! I’ve bought some of my best clothes when I haven’t been shopping for them

Vampy Vic: Where has the shapely woman of the fifties gone? Do they even exist anymore? They didn’t need implants. They had it all naturally

Barb: I am surprised. Funny how we picture people. I pictured you at about 5′4″. I agree about the loud printed tops! There were plenty of those to be bought!

Jay: Mo loves kaftans!! Our pastor, who went to Africa, brought us two genuine African tops back and we loved them! Sadly we outgrew them I do have some Anne Harvey blouses and they are a lovely fit, though I have no problem with buying cheap clothes, as long as they do the job! It was Bon Marche that I found the ‘half liked’ top I think.
