    If you use scissors do you suddenly find you need a bigger trolley as everything sort of spreads out?

    We’ve just spent the whole time debating about the dress on our weather girl, OH thought it looked like lightening strikes, I didn’t think it suited her at all, something wrong with the skirt,  the top was too tight, we both said afterwards, so what’s tomorrow’s weather doing. 

    was that Spotlight yesterday @Lyn? I watched it and couldn't work out what was wrong but she just looked weird. And then had to rewind it to see what the forecast was

    I think leggings are fine for casual as long as they're worn with a top/tunic that's long enough to cover up wobbly bits. I wouldn't have worn them in the office though. Working at home now - no-one can see what I've got on from the chest down :D.
    I'm happy to cover up/disguise my own wobbly bits ... but if someone else has the self-confidence to acknowledge the existence of their own flabby/wobbly bits with pride, who am I to tell them to disguise them? just because I find them aesthetically displeasing?

    My mother once said that she chose her clothes so that she would 'merge with the background because she didn't want to be judged'.......... how very sad ...... she was a beautiful woman.   


    Sorry, I wasn't very clear, I was referring to MY wobbly bits. Not that I care very much what most other people think, I just don't feel comfortable flaunting my flab, and definitely not in a professional setting.

    I thought some of the shapeless maxi dresses worn by Chelsea presenters looked like oversized tents.
    comfy I'm sure, but not pretty

    I thought much the same, but the shops are full of that sort of dress so they must be "in". I tried one on, it reached the floor and looked like I was wearing a patterned sack.

    Comfy clothes are perfectly acceptable in a gardening programme.
    Put the newsreader back behind a desk and at least half the problem will be solved.
    Mr Myrie could read the news wearing black fishnet tights and  white stilettos if he wished and nobody would know.

    Many maxi dresses can still look smart, but one in particular was WAY too big, and another was too small

    There are special scissors for cutting clothes off people  :)

    I'm sure you're right @Hostafan1, but I've yet to come across one that would look smart (or even just not ridiculous) on me.

    See the source image
    smart, but not sure it's appropriate for a gardening show. More like a wedding. But at least it isn't indecent
