I hate writing descriptive titles but for the purpose of google search i do...I know how irritating it is for me to never find what I'm looking for because the title is so poetic.
As you might have heard, I have a really big issue with waists. Nothing is ever produced smaller than a 62cm (66 being the "average" for the smallest clothing size, in my experience. Which is crazy). Not good enough.
Well well look what I found. Female clothes with a female shape! A rarity. These pants are 55cm on the waist laid flat, though they do stretch of course, they have stretchy bandages in the corset area. I can pull in my tummy to 55 but rest assured I don't walk around that way, and these are super comfortable. They also have enough space for my bottom! Incredible.
The moment you try clothes that have a good fit, you realise just how unflattering 99% of the clothes you own are. They become totally irrelevant. I have to keep reminding myself of this. I should never have to "think" about what I'm trying on. When it's a wow, it's immediately obvious. Everything else is not worth the wardrobe space, period.
Having said this, it's a good idea to steer clear of things you could never in a million years afford- because well-fitting clothes are dangerously persuasive.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
- Look at these! These actually FIT me! isn't that amazing. Just out of this world
- Yea. You know I bet there's a lot of women who don't find clothes in their waist size. You could be the ambassador for those women
- What do you mean. Of course I am the ambassador for those women. I'm gonna write about this right away, we're gonna write a manifesto
Aren't they wonderful! They make me look like a mermaid. (If there's one thing you always want to look like, like a mermaid is it)
PS- No, I don't plan to wear them with a ribbed tank top.

oh stunning!
…have a 40′s vibe going one
i’m a similar shape to you in that what fits me round the hips is often too big at the waist but i’ve made a promise to myself that i won’t put up with baggy waists anymore, i’ll just get them taken in. makes such a difference.
Love these!!! Where on earth did you find them? I want a pair!
wow they really are perfect for you! so elegant

Thank you!
Sonya- Yep exactly, it’s so worth it.
Dempeaux- At the Outnet! they have my size, don’t know about others
Thank you Sandra. They are, aren’t they. xx
Diana, this combo is stunning. Given that it was an August blog, I am leaning towards the opinion that you may have selected these because they look so light on you, almost submissive to the sun. Can you do a winter semi formal outfit for us to see? Or even what one might wear out to any holiday outing..keeping in mind the temperature, Im guessing the outfit will be heavier fabrics then the August material selections…but I dont know how your mind works…so ill just shut up and see if you do a winter semi formal seesion for all of us to see.
