Clearly you have an affinity with this style and a vertical ruffle is lengthening and streamlining. As long as the shape doesn't balloon out around your bosom and make you look boxy then keep them. I loved reading your note and would like to use it as a testimonial on the site is that OK? Caryn Sorry I missed this M, hope you have held on to the blouses.

It was mind blowing, I embraced it with sadness and relief, because at 40, I realized that I had been clueless about my attire, and yes always felt childlike, so thank you for enlightening me. I have been discarding and giving away clothes, and it feels great knowing that I will create a new wardrobe intended for me, where I can feel fabulous. During my discarding, I realized that I had an affinity to sleeveless ruffle front neck chiffon, blouses, that blousons to just above my hips, with a stretch or elastic band. I have at least 10, all are beautiful prints, however, I'm not sure in which category this will fall on your Do's or Don'ts. I don't have a short neck nor thick arms, but I have full breast size. I have tried it on and I'm not sure what I am suppose to be considering, the vertical center line of the ruffles, or the foreshortening of my upper torso, with the masking of my waist? It would be great to hear from you soon. Thank you. Hello Caryn,

We list them individually in our directory but that looks like one we should add too! Hey Debbie, I’m going to look into that.

I've always found that part of the problem is with the shopping as all the stores only have small ranges. In the past I've used www.highstreetpetite.co.uk as that allows you to search through all the petite products from the major retailers. hope it helps! hi there,

But wanted to keep the thread going on 'blaming the body shape'. I feel you are helping me move from Fat, Clever and Speccy Four-eyes (outdated but deep-rooted childhood trauma) to Voluptuous, Savvy and Stylish (ie my purple Red or Dead wow spectacles). It is fantastic to get correct expert advice - for free!!!!! There is a lot of complete woffle, balderdash and tripe written about the fuller figure, that has just led me astray and left me crying in the changing rooms. And while I am on a roll with my rant, I am sick and tired of Size 16's being just scaled-up versions of a straight up and down figure. So thank you, Caryn. I'm looking forward to your updated 40 Plus e-book. PS: Tesco's, believe it or not, is worth checking out for high waisted jeans - I bought a great pair there in summer (and they have winter ones now) - and they are a much better fit at £15.00 (!!!) than some much more expensive ones I bought in London.
