Over the years I've always had an hour-glass figure while progressing (?) from 34DD to 30HH, so dancing Cotswold Morris has always been out of the question, for aesthetic and centre of gravity reasons. Not being able to buy underwear at M&S, and having to trek to Oxford Street (Selfridges etc)is actually a real nuisance. So is finding that bras that defy gravity aren't compatible with sleeveless blouses, decollete dresses, or even T-shirts. (Strapless dresses, no way).

Plus, jeans that fit round the hips are too big round the waist.

Still, we weren't born to fit the clothes, they are supposed to be made to fit us.
