Urgh! I hear you on the clothes front. Nothing is the right cut for me this year it seems. I would love some casual dresses but they just don't look right on my figure because the skirts always have far too much fabric so I look like I'm wearing a tent because I have wide hips and I just hate the way that looks kwim. Even the plus size clothes are quite huggy on the body too and some may be happy with letting their belly show through tight fitting tops but not this black duck! so I have some size 24 T's that are really only a size 18 because no way known would a women who is genuinly a size 24 be able to wear those T's and look any good in them and I'm an 18 so that hurts a bit when you have to buy a T shirt that size when you know you aren't really that size at all . And it IS bloody disheartening when you try like crazy to loose weight and it doesn't happen at all. With my cycles now I can retain up to 3kg of fluid depending on what part of my cycle I'm up to. So I really need some new clothes, but at the same time don't want to buy too much because I want to wear the clothes I already have but can't fit into atm
