Just wondered if anyone owned a pair and what the fit was like and I'm pondering whether to order a pair online or not.
Here they are
Answer:
thicko alert :o
which ones are these??
Are these the ones that are the baggy ones that you can make 3/4 length and they do in other fabrics as well?? The jeans are about £65??
If so - I'm GUTTED that they're called that :( I really wanted a pair but have totally gone off them now.:( :( :(
I thought they were lovely! (didn't get round to trying them on as had screaming baby in tow!!)

These are the ones I meant. But not in black (they're gopping in black!!!) - they do it in really lovely distressed blue denim. and I would have to wear them rolled up!!
I thought they'd look really lovely with little gold ballet shoes, tiny white vest and big shell necklace in the summer!!
OR a pair of shoes I've got my eye on in Russell Bromley. Will see if I can find them and do another post!
Sorry - I got sidetracked. And I was feck all help :o :o :o
Hope you get some more constructive posts :o

What Not To Wear is on NOW
NO.2. ask :
What Not To Wear is on NOW
So the ladies are back. Tonight they are doing twins, BUT they have picked one twin from two sets. I thought before they told them this was a bit cruel, and when they told them only one twin would be getting made over they were really really upset and angry. Think I would be too. Has put me off tonight's episode tbh.

MrA is playing football computer games with his friend over the net - making the internet slow and hogging the TV :sulkingsmilie:
Answer:
I'm watching it, I don't think we should feel too sorry for them as they can share all the free clothes they'll get :p
Answer:
What happened? I am watching 10 years younger instead?
Answer:
they ended up doing the other twins in the end too but only showed it in the last 10 mins of the programme which was nice, one set decided to remain individual with different colour hair but the other set the other ended up copying her twins hair. Both sets looked individual and werent copy clothes which was good. im now watching 10year younger on 4+1 x
Braless?
NO.3. ask :
Braless?
I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the whole no bra/ going out top issue.
It's not so much of a problem in the summer but in April it certainly is...
I've got loads of gorgeous going out tops that you can't really wear a bra under but I've been conscious recently that I may be poking through if you know what I mean :o
I tried little nipple petals (little stick on plasters) on sat but they were even more noticeable!!
What are your tried and tested methods, do you always wear a bra or you always brave enough?
Kate Moss certainly never seems to have a problem.......:lol:
Answer:
IMO noone a C cup or above should be going topless! For those who can get away with going braless with strappy tops or boob tubes just put your nipples away cos it's not attractive to look at!
Answer:
I think the only solution to this problem is to take taxis everywear and wear a fastened jacket when outside. No help sorry!
Answer:
I would change it to no one bigger than a B cup should go braless!!
Perhaps some tit tape?? I'm a larger boobed lady so would love to your problem!! But sorry, can't really help too much.
Perhaps double layer the tops? In a contrasting colour to make it look funky?
Or a really bright coloured bra?
Answer:
I have a selection of AP bras in various colouirs to solve the spaghetti strap problem - trick is to be really blatant about it so no-one says "your bra strap is showing"
I hate my legs in skirts!
NO.4. ask :
I hate my legs in skirts!
No matter how hard I try I just cannot seem to get away with skirts at all. I'm size 10, my legs are firm, but I'm pear-shaped, with huge calf muscles, and I always think my legs look like tree trunks, no matter what length of skirt I try! I am having a wardrobe clear-out and am trying on old, unworn skirts in a last-ditch attempt to get some wear out of them. My family have just laughed at me wearing the last one I tried, mother's comment, 'you're just not a skirt person' :mad: Its so annoying, I'd love to wear skirts sometimes!!! Does anyone else have this with skirts?

Answer:
i would ignore the comments, im sure your legs are fine and that you look lovely in a skirt. get a well trusted fashionable friend to take a look at you in all your skirts some evening and tell you what suits and what doesnt. also try a variety of shoes with them. good luck!
Answer:
I have got really short quite big legs, so alot of skirts can look a bit wrong on me... but I love skirts too much to stop wearing them, although I don't wear them that often.
When I do wear them, people are usually so surprised to see me in them, the condition of my legs doesn't really appear to matter... perhaps you could look at it that way instead of thinking everyone's laughing at you?
I'm more of a trouser person too, but I like the change.
Answer:
Re: I hate my legs in skirts!
I used, until I just stopped caring and wore them anyway!
I'm sure your legs are fine (I sympathise though, since I've got big calves too!) - it's just a question of finding the right skirt length. Try some that are just above/below the knee and wear them with heels or wedges. Knee length boots are a great way of breaking yourself into the idea of skirts too. Avoid anything that ends at a wider part (say mid-calf) because that can accentuate the problem!

Answer:
I am sure a lot of my paranoia stems from wondering which shoes to wear with my skirts a lot of the time, but jeans and trousers do get boring!
Tomorrow - I will go skirt shopping for something that suits me!
thanks for the encouragement

Wrap dresses for tall people
NO.5. ask :
Wrap dresses for tall people
Hi girls
I have had two wrap dresses now (both from TopShop in size 10 but slightly different styles) and neither is quite right. Having mulled it over, I think the problem is that I am too tall for them (I am a leggy 5'8") the waists seem to be too high and they seem slightly too short overall (I like things to hit the bottom of my kneecaps - not that I'm fussy or anything :D).
Have any other tall people had this problem? I know wrap dresses are probably almost over now but where could I find one that has the same proportions as I do?
Answer:
Bumping this as I have exactly the same problem, know what you mean about the waist being too high and I agree they just don't look right if they sit above your knee. I'd love to know where sells wrap dresses for tall people (I'm also a very leggy 5'8")
Answer:
I'm 5'8" but quite long bodied, so high waist problem is even worse! :( Tried on tons of dresses, including expensive ones, but bizzarely enough the only one that fitted me poperly was from George at Asda! :lol:
