Reply It is not just us t-girls that find sizes a problem. My 35-year-old daughter does as well. There is a big difference between Marks and spencers and lots of the others according to her, Marks and Spencer tend to have smaller sizes. My advice to you is to ask to be measured when buying […]

Reply Found 29 pounds for a pair of knickers a bit too steep!!!   Reply Like Mel says, its the sales and special offers that make it worthwhile. As for sizes in general, it is tricky. At 5’11” and about 185 pounds, skirts are tricky cos of length.   Top half’s can be even harder. […]

Reply Have you tried LadyBwear? She does both males, and female cuts for a lot of her stuff. Another thing to remember is that some skirts come in what is known a slow waist, (hipster style as it used to be back in the 60s/70s). As we tend to have different shaped hips to genuine […]

Reply Yes, dress sizes do change from shop to shop. In my experience, they do tend to stay the same in a particular shop.   I am also, along with many other T vees , a different size at the top and at the bottom.

Question I just thought I’d see if other t-girls have as much trouble as I do with dress sizes.   Why is it that 14’s and 16’s are so variable. For example, I’ve had 14’s hang off me, and 16’s that have strangled me.   I do realize that the average girl has a different […]

I’ve stripped off and started again on more than one occasions Last night I used Vichy Dermablend foundation and set it with baby powder. I have a stash of Vichy setting powder However, I thought I’d give the baby powder a shot and I wasn’t disappointed and neither was my boyfriend. I have and still […]

Reply I would tend to agree and I am particularly easy on eye makeup these days for that exact reason – very light on eye shadow and liner but can’t forego the mascara My skin, if anything, still borders on oily plus most liquid foundations have an oily based transport – leave them for a […]

Reply Yes, the older you get, the less product your face will tolerate. This is when it gets worthwhile to buy higher-end products in my experience. Where I have ‘cracking areas’ (under my chin, nasolabial folds, outer corners of my eyes) I apply a high-coverage concealer very thinly. I don’t put a foundation on those […]

For my previously very oily skin, I found it alright – it did a decent job of mattifying; but the downfalls I found was sometimes it would go on looking cakey and make things look heavier, or didn’t always like to layer too well when I’d need to retouch – and also it could leave a […]

Reply When I was younger, cheaper – and much more oily – I used to use it quite a bit. Sometimes by itself, but more often I’d use it to bulk out a face powder.
