coops 1,790 Posted June 6, 2011 So, I needed to get some tee shirts, for training and general/casual wear as mine are now like tents. I ordered them on line and was brave enough to order a size 16 (UK). When I took them out of the wrappers, I looked at them and thought 'Hmmm... too small for me!' I showed them to my hubby and he said 'They might have to go back love, they're a look small!' Feeling a tad dejected I tried them on, I had nothing to lose, and I was in the comfort of my own home... and here is the good bit! THEY FIT ME! Yay!!! Ok, ok, they fit where they touch, but I can certainly wear them in public... What a great moment of victory! Put a smile on my lil face after a few stressful weeks!!

YORKSHIRE GIRL ANGE 1 Posted June 8, 2011 Hiya Sue, It really is a great feeling that isn’t it ? It just shows how it takes our brains a while to catch actually register that we can possibly fit into something that isn’t our usual huge size. We see that smaller number on a thing and automatically think it isn’t for us. Just think as well, a lot of online stuff can tend to be a bit of a smaller fit anyway so maybe a high street 16 might be good to go for you. This made me laugh, I hope it tickles you. I got my Take That outfit sorted out about a month ago. I decided to have a trying on session on Monday night. I’d got a top and a pair of black pants. The top was fine, the pants wouldn’t stay up and the legs were so baggy they looked like Crusty the clown should be wearing them !!!! I spent Monday evening totally re-modelling them. I had to take the legs in and run some knicker elastic through the waist so they wouldn’t fall down when I was bouncing with Robbie on Tuesday !!!!! The moral of the story is of you’ve got to buy anything for a special occasion, do it the day before and not the month before !!!
