nnyI'm spamming today!
YOU! YES YOU! THE PERSON WITH MORE FASHION-SAVVY THAN ME! So, like, all of you. :D I have a long torso. Also, fat. I don't care about concealing the fat - I'm not trying to pretend to be something I'm not - but I do care about my tops meeting my trousers, which is rather more of an issue. Sometimes clothes places do not seem to recognise that just making bigger sizes doesn't actually help, you need to also make things LONGER.
Any ideas of styles or shops I can head towards? I'm chucking out the majority of my clothes today so I can have some idea of what I actually wear rather than have, so I'll know what I need. I'm just gonna need to know where to find it after...

Date: 2010-04-06 02:01 am (UTC)I don't actually like "fashion" much -- I had an insight recently while trying to find an Easter dress appropriate for someone who's 5'3" and a B cup but is only eleven years old, which was that most of what I wear would be perfectly appropriate for an 11-year-old. So my experiences would probably be useless to anyone who actually wanted to dress like a grown-up.
One thing I can tell you is that Lands End tops are made for the short-waisted, and that if you buy the Tall sizes to get a longer body length, you get sleeves that are too long.
