I do see what you mean Mary, and I think waists are vastly over rated. S xx |

No offence taken - but one question - what is a waist - must have been at the end of the queue when they were dished out!!! Oh well I am cuddly plenty to hang on to - if you see what I mean. Mary in Spain |

Thanks again Gwyn. x Mary, no offence meant!! I take it back - the elasticated waist should be made compulsory for women over the age of 18 - at least then no one would be showing their muffin tops. lol Jenny, You're depressing me now! lol I already shop in those places! S xx |

What I was really trying to say was, make the most of this age and wear what you like (possibly not micro minis! - but other than that). Reason being that you do get to an age where its a real struggle to shop. The places where you can get clothes that you don't look ridiculous in seems to narrow down to BHS, M & S, Matalan and Peacocks with the odd catalogue thrown in - and thats before you look at the drawbacks of your figure - thats an whole new thread!! |

Sharon I had to laugh. I've got an O.H. like yours,- notices nothing. The top with black trousers sounds great. As you are so slim, I think that will look very smart. Gwyn |

Jenny I don't feel old - well not every day anyway, but I do feel at an inbetween age. Too old to be trendy, and too young for twin sets and elasticated crimplene trousers. No offence to anyone who wears those things - lol Sharon xx |

Not sure what you're worried about, 36 is definitely not old (although when you;re 36 you think it is). Its only when you get considerably older than that, that you realise you were just a spring chicken. |

Thanks Strump and Mary - I'm getting braver by the second!! I would ask OH for his opinion, but unless I shaved my head, and went out in a bin bag, he probably wouldn't even notice. S xx |

Thanks Gwyn. Esta, with my legs I haven't worn a short skirt since I was about 7. lol. Was just going to wear it with the old faithful - black trousers. I'm at the stage where I don't know what to buy or what suits me. Think I fell in the trap of spending all my time, money, and energy on my children, and along the way, I got lost somewhere.

Im only a couple of years older than you and ive looked at said bustier - and it does go into bigger sizes and it suits me so i say go for it girl - esp if it makes you feel good. |

Sharon...... If it looks good when you try it on and your comfortable in it - then wear it. I'm 36 and if I was a size 10 ( which unfortuanatly I'm not ) I'd wear it - it sounds very pretty. I think it all depends on what you're planning to wear with it....... A skirt the size of a hairband is maybe not the way to go.....lol Esta x |

Ok - I'm planning ahead for Christmas, which is one of the few times I dress up and go out. I've sent for a bustier from the N Directory. It's black with white embroidered flowers on it, and is really pretty. But, at 36, am I too old to wear it?? I'm slim ( ish ) and can fit in the size 10, but when do you start to be mutton dressed as lamb?? Help please. Sharon xx |
