Like many of us I have struggled with my weight and fantasized about what I would wear if I wasn't fat. I've tried to maintain a tidy and maybe even slightly fashionable look, even at my highest weight but come on, let's get real! There are some outfits that just don't hang well on a bulky frame.

I think everyone's got their thing; that secret sartorial thing that we've longed for and that is symbolic of getting where we always wanted to be etc. For some it's mile high heels, for others the perfect pair of designer jeans.

For me the ultimate would be a string bikini, the kind that ties at the sides. Aside from that, I want to wear a clingy sleeveless tank-style above the knee dress, in the kind of material that shows every dimple and chunk if you aren't totally sleek. Hey I said these were dream outfits!

What's yours?

For me it's the perfect pair of jeans, with a fitted top and high heels! Is that too much too ask for?? I love your dream outfits!!

Two words - Body Con !!!!

Jane, You may have to explain to some of us fashionable stupid, what a Body Con is, or direct us to a link where we can see. I lost my fashion sense when I became over weight. lol As for my perfect outfit. I really don't have a dream outfit, but here is what I have in mind. I would love to buy a shirt that I don't have to pin to my bra so it don't fall down, because I think they believe all plus size women have big chest (I do not), I would love to buy a pair of jeans that the legs are not four sizes bigger then my legs, as I again do not have big legs, and last but not least I can not wait until I don't have to wear granny panies. lol :thumbup:

LOL, don't diss the ganny pants!! At least they keep you warm! when I was young and thin I used to wear the old lady long legged knickers in winciette just for the warmth, it was always a shock to my boyfriends:scared0:

I put on my weight in the classic apple way and women are supposed to have waists so I can defo relate to you. Even now I have a pair of work trousers that fit snuggly on the waist but flap like jodpers on my hips and thighs. So still not a normal shape here. And as for small boobies, I dream of them, mine are still there but about 4 inches lower than they should be :mad: small ones are pert and lovely in my book :thumbup:

My dream outfit was a gorgeous, clingy formal. I had missed out on 4 military balls because I refused to go looking like I went to a tent maker to get my dress. This past May, I went dress shopping because I was not missing this ball. I refused to NOT go.

I found "the" dress, and it fit like a glove after I had it taken in, and hemmed. It was the best feeling in the universe, and I was complimented on it all night. It was nice to not have to wear any type of shapewear underneath, not even hose, and not worry about the dimples, rolls, and other assorted worries I had in the past with clothing.

I still have zero desire to wear a bikini, but hot, clingy dresses are my thing.

lol, You are to funny. I may have small boobies, but my hang also. lol I know to much info, but hey it is the truth. I carry most of my weight in my stomach area, I think running track many years back help with my legs, and I have no idea about the rest. I could just see your boyfriends expressions when they found the knickers. :lol0:, what a shock. I remember wearing granny panties in 7th grade changing clothes in PE (gym), and all the girls making fun of me. That was one of those memories, you just never forget. :thumbup1:

Hey,

Great question.... I long to wear a dress that is fitted with a pair of sexy shoes that I can actually walk in!! I think the colour would have to be red!

The other thing I long to look good in is a nice pair of jeans, complimented with a vest top... yes showing my arms... oh how I dream ...lol

My husband took me shopping about 3 weeks ago, and we picked out a sexy dress, a body con number...black, white and grey strips, its fantastic. It's a size 12, and I'll put it on when I reach my goal weight. He put up a nail on the wall in our bedroom, and we hung it on the wall, so everyday, when I get up, and before I go to bed, I see it...it helps me stay motivated. I am soooo looking forward to slipping that sexy thing over my head......whooohoo

My dream outfit would be a pair of short shorts and a white tank top.

I know it's not very fancy, but if I could wear those and look good, I think I could wear anything with confidence.

call me boring or whatever, but i don't have kind of dream outfits. . . i hate shopping and basically make due with whatever. . . i've gone from 4XL to L -XL depending on cut. . so for me that is good. . . i still see that big fat girl and won't see anything different until i weigh about 190 or so. . . i've never weighed that in my adult life so it'll be interesting . . i still look away when i pass a mirror or window. . . i can't look at myself in that way yet. . .weird huh? it's going to take a long time but i feel good physically and that is what's important to me right now. . . i have more energy now then ever before and can do things i wasn't able to do, like handwash 2 vehicles on the same day, climb 24 stairs without effort, and walk pretty fast without breaking a sweat. . . good luck to y'all . . .together we'll make it through. . .

This is really brazen, but might as well set high expectations.

BOOTY SHORTS :lol0:

Otherwise a pair of skinny jeans, some rocking heals and a blingy shirt just to go grocery shopping? LOL I think the other is a little much for a mom of 2 boys. I think they would hide.

Ah, here in the States we call them LBD's for Little Black Dress. An LBD doesn't have to be black tho, it's more the spirit of the garment - miniscule, revealing, shameless.:scared0: I just really want to wear clothes without a lot of fabric to them. How glorious would it be in the summertime to wear a cotton slip dress made of two airy pieces of fabric rather than upholstery?

The real dream isn't just the goal outfit at goal weight, it's goal boobs - I would absolutely LOVE to wear any kind of a tank top without a bra, I can hardly imagine relying on the built in shelf - yoga clothes! They are always in preposterously teensy sizes.
