Hi Girls,

So, I'm sure all of you have had this problem...you buy a dress online and it doesn't fit on top or it's too loose on the bottom. I'm an 8-12 on top and a 6-8 on the bottom and even stretchy (aka bodycon) dresses don't fit perfectly everywhere.

So, my question is...has anyone found the perfect shop/website to buy clothes to fit?

You have to look for clothes for the 'athletic' type woman which are few and far between. Basically a male is V shaped while women are variations on the 8 shape. If you want to fit properly you'll need to pad the bottom bits to produce an 8 figure - look for padded panties. Alternately don't go for things that fit all the way, fit and flare design is meant to fit at top but be freer at the bottom. To get the fitted look go for high waisted dresses or ones with patterned panels.

Thanks Josephine. Your comments are really helpful and I have started looking at flared skirt dresses. I still love the tight fitting feminine dresses. If I had the money to get one tailor made...

I have considered this as well. But with no hips you get no rear waist so no hour glass! There is at least one up side of this - your bum will never look big in this. Enjoy what you have and make the most of it.
