Petunia, I wouldn't wear a padded, quilted jacket, you know the one I'm talking about, because it makes me look really strange. Let's just say I'm not a size ten and I'm short . So now you know what and why ......

I wouldn't wear anything really see-through now, as I can't be bothered to worry about all the underwear straps showing.

Oh my goodness, buy buy buy!! You loved it, was absolute gorgeous, if I saw you in it I would just think what a fabulous jacket, not a blueberry, def more confidence needed here, love to know which shop I would love one. In answer to your question, I never buy anything that shows my fat knees?

You could get it and join XR. Must be ok to go as a blueberry as I have just seen a report of a man on the protest dressed as a broccoli floret.?

You should have bought it - it sounds lovely. I usually buy things on spec if I see something and love it otherwise I have regrets.

I'm quite like you in the fact that I have large boobs so I have to watch just what I wear. I recently saw a lovely black Macintosh but because I am only 5'3" then I thought it would look daft. I also would love to wear light coloured jumpers but again they just dont look right, to me, so I end up with dark ones. Oh to be perfect!

Is there anything you wouldn't wear-for any reason?

I'll give you my example.

I recently spotted a lovely, cosy padded jacket in a gorgeous purple velvet. They had my size. Should I or shouldn't I? Could I justify adding it to my wardrobe? Where would I wear it? These thoughts rushed through my head but I dismissed them all. I loved the colour, it was warm and super cosy. Its felt divine. I took out my bank card, went to complete the purchase.

Then the thought hit me. If I wore this jacket, (I'm fairly well endowed in the bosom department by the way) I would look like a blueberry on legs. So I didn't buy the jacket.
