![]() Our (experienced, trusted) contractors showed up at 7AM and will be done within 3 weeks. It was a weight lifted off his shoulders in the end. We had a great discussion in the comments because truly – husband is an engineer, a perfectionist, has the skills to do this and over the years has saved us a lot of money but has been spending his time on kids + work rather than renovations. I posted a while ago basically asking for moral support in hiring contractors to come in and finish a big Reno project that had taken my meticulous husband more than 18 months to get to this point. Sometimes drop waists work…Īnd Eileen Fisher is popular for a reason. The eye is drawn to it.Įmpire waists sometimes work. Not flattering for our shape.ĭefine the waist – a wrap coat is nice, beautiful thick wrap sweater, good belt.ĭefine waist by watching carefully where your 3rd piece/topper ends helps.Īlso pay attention to where your sleeve length ends. Try to avoid too girly “fit and flare” dresses, unless that is your look. Shift dresses can be really flattering, especially if you have great legs, great shoes.Īlways pick good fabrics, flattering colors. More A-line or longer dresses can work, with flow/drape. Or skirts w/forgiving waistsĪvoid all front pockets, front zippers on pants. Lots of stretch/elastic waists, if you must wear pants. Pants are not your friend, as even if you tailor everything to perfection, the bloat/stomach (which can change from day to day, hour to hour as you go through perimenopause) makes tailoring and perfect drape impossible. Many dresses are not your friend, as you are more extreme pear shaped like me. OP, I am a very similar size/shape as you. The tailors think it isn’t possible to really modify garments so much, so I need to find a place that works for 2023 me. I need an Insta account to follow of someone who is not super-thin and is 40s/50s or older and who dresses her shape well (and hopefully shares where she shops). Crop tops are out of the question for work. I’m still in standard sizes, but it’s like a 6 top on 10/12 pants, but I often need to go bigger on the jackets and tops now b/c they are cut longer (and then they look too blocky b/c I can’t fill out the darts) so they don’t pull on my hips. It’s a sad, deflated look on top to get stuff to fit on the bottom. I’m still flat-chested, but my bottom size is now 2 sizes greater than my top. I bought several items for RTO that bunch around my natural waist, which is pretty high (or my torso is short). Particularly with dresses, which were how I used to get through the winter. I am really struggling to find things that are flattering to my shape now that it’s hit the perimenopause spread / belly expansion. Ugh - I tried on my closet over the weekend and it’s not pretty.
