Fluff - frustration shopping

CallMeAl

So, distracting from how frustrated I am about our supposed build that is likely to never happen.

I want to get this, it’s so lovely on this model and I keep imagining it’ll be just as georgeous on me at twice the width :p

But what sort of bra does one wear with this? I have tried the rabbit ear things once and was petrified that gravity would win at some point. And this is not so good as an old lady look as it is on a fresh young flower is it? Talk some sense into me. Or don’t.

Ignore that. Now found the animal print section. Wondering if I can get away with this for work…

Gum-boots

Yeah why not?

And you can buy strapless bras where the back strap sits quite low. They are not very comfortable and I threw mine out as a result but if you really love the jump suit…. I think it’s pretty.

I’m so boring, but the having to take it off to go to the toilet would drive me crazy 😅. I love the look of jumpsuits, but that’s always the thing that stops me from buying them.

The ones I have so far don’t seem much hassle to take down - no more than pants really - one is a pull-down and one is a zip. The fact that I have to wear my restraining undies beneath it tends to be more the struggle 😆

I didn’t get it 🙁 I have so much stuff I love that I never wear due to the hassle, I just know it would go on that pile. Plus light, non-printed colour shows off my bulges in a way it wouldn’t on that lovely model!

I did get this which is much less lovely but much more likely to be worn as it would take normal bras and not require any shaving and looks cool for summer.

And I got this for no other reason except that I couldn’t stop myself, and hopefully can be worn with a tube bra. I have no idea where I could possibly wear this .

If that first jumpsuit was a dress and about 5cm longer I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
And the cow print is black and white. How could it not be work appropriate?

This seems like biased advice given your username 😆

Love these outfits, especially the first! What is this site like to buy from?

It’s so so, I always read the reviews and look at the pictures they have of people wearing it. Sometimes it’s hit (like my favourite work top ever) and sometimes it’s miss (fabric a bit weird or thin) but the reviews often weeds those out. They allow returns anyway.

CallMeAl

For anybody extremely bored, my orders arrived and yes I got carried away buying kids stuff also, but pleased with the haul! I like my jumpsuit although it doesn’t look as good as on the skinny model - who’s have guessed right?

The shirts for DS were particularly nice, now if only we had somewhere to go to rather than bring in lockdown! 😂 The 6yo has worn her outfit for the last 3 days (yeah I’ve gone soft on washing since we got locked in the house)

Sorry about the headless shots, trying not to put my kids faces on the open internet.

Argh can’t load photos from my phone. Will try from computer later

No idea why it’s sideways but apparently that’s the best I can do…

LadySybilVimes

They look great!

You’re rocking the jumpsuit. They never work on me - I’m too long.

I thought they were made for too long! The biggest issue I run into is when the models are long and georgeous and they don’t translate well to wide…

Shein - beware they have lots of dodgy stuff too, you have to make sure you read the fabric composition and look at the reviews - particularly the photo reviews. That particular shirt, while I love it, is some kind of pretty thin polyestery material but I still love it and it looks good. I got him a plain shirt as well which also looks nice and is cotton/linen and feels solid. I’ll try and post it later.
