Hi all,

I had a bad day "fat wise" yesterday. ](*,) 'Cos I am carrying twins I am finding my normal clothes are already starting to get a little tight at times around the belly and went looking for larger girls clothes to wear as I grow bigger.
After about an hour or two I was in dispair. All I wanted was some simple short sleeves sundresses which would allow me to be cool but not hippo like whilst the Qld summer hit. Sadly all of these seem to be made in Indonesia where no one is taller than 5'6 or wider than an XL.
(I know about brands 16/26 awhich I already buy and I LOVE some of MY SIZE stuff but they are a bit pricey for sundresses.)

I have asked my DP for a combined birthday/Xmas pressie of a sewing machine (that works properly) so I can make myself some less horrific clothes.
Has anyone else found this and how did you stop yourself feeling heffalumpish when it happened?

Thanks and Please MODS!! Make this a thread of its own! Us larger girls need a space too

Kaety
