Ahhhh! Someone who understands the pain of an hourglass shape - might look sexy but no benefits whatsoever with buying clothes (especially if you don't want to look sexy, just normal and comfortable). I'm lucky my arms are normal sized (though my wrists are tiny so I often look out of proportion).
Australia is still a heck of a lot easier to buy clothes in than Singapore, where everything is designed for sticks; I wore t shirts and jeans my entire teenage years and only developed a bit of a fashion sense after coming here. It was a revelation finding a dress that actually fit, and pants that covered my bum without leaving a gaping hole behind my back. As a result if anything fits I keep it for ages, even when I haven't worn it in years.
Thank you so, so much for the offer re: waistband btw, that is incredibly kind. I'm planning to take it to my aunty's in January and get it fixed there (she did the last replacement) but I'll let you know if that fails.
Deal.
