Great minds, my sweet, great minds...

ffs.

I hate that shops do not consider that a lot of women have boobs when they make a dress. Yet again I need to get a completely different size because people are shit at getting them to fit actual people. I want this new sizing thing that apparently was going to happen to start now.

I have that problem all the time. I have big boobs but narrow shoulders, so often if things fit me in the chest they fall off my shoulders. There is a company called Pepperberry that make clothing sized according to how, uh, voluptuous you are, but they are expensive and the range isn't that big. Still, it gives me hope that more companies might start doing the same.

My problem is small waist and big bum... many trousers just gape at the waist, and my bum isn't even that big since I lost a bit of weight - it's just that clothes are rarely the right ratio. H&M (or was it New Look) claim to sell specialist jeans for that type of figure, but all the pairs I could find were skinny jeans, which is frankly ridiculous. Skinny jeans are the last thing someone with a pear-shaped figure is supposed to wear!

What is the "sizing thing" charlalottie referred to?

[dimtimjim]

Wowzers, put 34 28 36 into Google images!

Niiiiiiiice!

I have the opposite problem - big stomach and small hips/thighs. I pretty much gave up on jeans altogether as to fit me on the waist they're always too big on the hips/thighs and I end up with excess material bunching up on the legs. Dresses and skirts are the way forward.

[dimtimjim]

Dresses and skirts are the way forward.

Easier access, too.

[Nicola_Red]

Kind of. If you're wearing 60 denier tights like I normally do, there's that elasticated gusset to contend with.

[Latina]

Haha me too! I've got thermal tights on today, with socks underneath (mainly so my shoes will fit) - and it isn't even as cold today.

That new sizing idea sounds great - I've always hoped they'd do that! I can imagine it being costly for high street shops though... surely those clothes will be more expensive?

[Nicola_Red]

Same here. In fact I'm wearing Spongebob Squarepants socks under my boots. They have a hole in though. Back to the child's dept of the pound shop for me...

[dimtimjim]

I'm wearing Spongebob Squarepants socks

^^ Define: Sexy.

[Nicola_Red]

Ha! Strangely enough, when choosing socks to wear under my boots at 7.30am, sexy is not my primary concern.

[Latina]

My favourite pair of socks featured a cartoon ant wearing boxers, with the phrase "Ants in your pants" written underneath. Sadly they developed a hole and I had to throw them away.

[Nicola_Red]

In other annoyances, I've had a cough and bad throat for a week now. It's not a cold exactly but I just feel generally run down and my voice went almost completely, although it's almost back to normal now. But I still don't feel well. I think I'm gonna have to go to the docs if it doesn't improve by the end of this week.

[DevilsDuck]

Annoying me...I wasnt here early enough to play my new game with Chrys' stupid 2 year old gaff!

*buzz* Things Jimmy Saville would say...

[DevilsDuck]

It wasnt a fair race...and you should be disqualified

I call for an umpires decision?

Based on...?

Not my fault if internet takes so long to warm up down your way.

[DevilsDuck]

I was actually doing some work and chrys post was not on my timetable!

[dimtimjim]

Something about snoozing and losing.

[a-moron]

Yes.
You snooze your alarm clock and you lose valuable boner pressing into your wife's back time in the morning.

Is that the one?

[dimtimjim]

Close enough for me Scotty-boy.
