Anyone else like that?

Bought some new skirts for the hosp the other day (I have to be fairly formal).

Nothing seems to fit properly. I am only supposed to be 14 but somehow nothing looks/ fits right. My legs are very long, which i thought was a good thing till I realised it makes my top half look dumpy!
 
My friend has a beautiful figure but even she has trouble. She needs a size 14 top and size 8 bottom :o
 
I'm at the other end! I'm only 5ft 1in and don't have any ankles :-[ Shops seem to think if your short your body will be smaller than regular lenghs, so a size 14 petite is more like a 12R >:( And that's not the casewith me ::)
 
I'm expected to have arms like orangutans and shoulders like Geoff Capes so T shirts just look ridiculous ;D Also, the really large sizes are only made wider not longer.
 
i have long legs and a short body I'm a size 12 but my chest is significantely (how ever u spell it) larger lol
 
I'd look like a Mozzerella cheese on stilts if I had long legs ;D
 
It can be hard to get trousies long enough ! They seem to think everyone has little legs. You should see one pair I tried that were labelled as "long". They stopped above my ankles! How trendy ;D
 
Every time I buy trousers I have to have half the leg taken off cos they're way too long. My legs are as short as my bum is wide ;D
 
I guess we are just never happy with our bodys are we! i have biggish boobs but am only 5ft 4 so look top heavy,
 
I had a boyfriend once that used to say that it doesn't matter how big a woman is as long as her belly doesn't stick out further than her boobs. I've been paranoid about it ever since ;D ;D
 
I have short legs so I have trouble getting trousers that don't go on endlessly, I'm not exactly skinny and I have wide feet - so yes, as you can imagine it isn't easy on the clothes front.
 
The problem is no-one is a particular size all the way down. I can just about do a 12 at the top (no boobs), 14 round the middle, on fat days a 16 on the arse, but I need long trousers. Either we're all freaks or more likely they design clothes for freaks ;D
 
I have only about twice. i think they had them in the old C & A - remember them?
 
I only went in there with a mate cos she's teeny! Staff look at me strange cos none of the clothes come in baby hippo size! ;D
 
But the clothes aren't that nice anyway, are they? ;D

I prefer New Look, Dorothy Perkins and even QS. I loved Etam then they closed down. Grrr.
 
Oh I like New Look too - even better now cos they got the larger size range of clothes!

At last young clothes! ;D
 
I agree! I'm only 20 and want to look half decent, only half mind you I'd never look completely decent! LOL
