1.   Tummy buldge...(more)
   64 yo (no Alfred Dunner for me!)Live in jeans and 3/4 length anything tops. Stats: 36-30-40, 130 lbs, small frame, narrow shoulders. Problem: very self-conscious of tummy buldge. Can't find tops that are long and loose enough to camoflage the buldge that don't look like they're 2 sizes too big. Any suggestions on brands/sizes/styles to help me? Thanks...

5.   Political ...(more)
   I attend a lot of political fundraiser and want to be fashionable but still conservative. I am curvy women size 16 so I still need to dress best for my size but not like an old lady...i am 36

• I agree. I am more of a pants suit kinda girl as I am a 14 and don't like my legs. But I do like my neckline so I focus on a nice necklace to "fashion" up a conservative suit.
  posted on 06/13/2010 08:39 PM reply
• I would say a suit is timeless. Either skirt or pants, just make sure it is "up to date" and stylish with good accessories ie earring and shoes.

7.   if you had to go on a work trip to a nice beach place, would you wear a bathing suit in front of co-workers?
   posted on 06/01/2010 08:39 PM reply sticky
• it wouldn't be my first choice but I wouldn't lock myself if the room if everyone was out there. I would probably wear a suit and a cover-up. definitely not a bikini
  posted on 06/01/2010 08:40 PM reply
• really?? if everyone was wearing bathing suits, I would too. Its not like you are skinny dipping.
  posted on 06/01/2010 08:40 PM reply
• I guess, just not my style around work people.

   posted on 06/01/2010 08:22 PM reply sticky
• my vote is for bethenny. I think Jill is trying too hard and wears necklaces that are too big for her
  posted on 06/01/2010 08:22 PM reply
• no way, my vote is for the countess, I think she is annoying and fights jills battles, but she wears some really pretty dresses.

9.   measurements clarification...(more)
   I know this might sound silly, but can you clarify the best way to take the 3 measurements needed for your site? For example, in the past, I've seen waist size measured anywhere from above the belly button to almost all the way down at the hips. It seems like everyone defines waist, hips, and even bust differantly these days.

• no problem, its on the home page under measurement hints, but here it is. Let me know if you have any other questions....(more)
  1. Start with your bust. This is taken around the fullest part. 2. Next, measure your waist at the narrowest part. For most women, this is about an inch above your belly button. 3. Measure your hips last. Be sure to measure the fullest part of your hips, which is usually about 7 to 8 inches below your waist.

12.   Bra Sizes...(more)
    Do you think you will be addressing bras for larger sizes? I have no idea what comes after a size E! Can you recommend anything? Help!!!

    posted on 05/10/2010 08:31 PM reply sticky
• bras are soooo tough!!! I wish there was a way to get "size charts" for them, but I haven't found it yet. I personally can't buy bras online for this reason. . the one thing...(more)
  I can recommend would be to go to one of those stores that does fittings (yes, if you are shy it can be weird, but they know what they are doing) and once you find a brand/size. . .then you can stick to it, and get all the different colors etc. . .Sorry if that wasn't helpful. Trust me, I too have had this issue!!
