The state of play at the moment is that I am trying to deal with things as best I can. That means self-harm to stave off the worst, but it also means that with the black tie affair coming up at the end of term I have the usual chaos trying to find a dress - any dress - that will suit the purpose.
So that means, first challenge, it has to be up to a 38E bust. On the high street, that's a tall order (normally I find myself around a size 14 waist, 18-22 top, and most designers don't accommodate me). Then, I need long sleeves. And there are some pretty dresses around with sleeves, but they're almost all 3/4 length (i.e., not long enough) and the same goes for the boleros and shrugs around. Anyone would think it wasn't round about freezing point outside!
For the first time in years, I have managed to find a dress that fits the bill thanks to the wonders of Bravissimo. I first discovered their dresses last year and I love the fact that they make me feel, not slim, but at least somewhere smaller than Dumbo.
So here is a two-fold bid to the clothing industry (which I expect to have zero impact):
1) Could you consider accommodating different bust sizes?
2) Please, please, make long-sleeved tops that aren't plain or frumpy.
This is the idea, for reference:
