can make most people look a better shape. I find 'off the peg' clothes (especially dresses) a nightmare to find to fit me well. I don't get any clothes made, by the way, but I end up having to buy separates.

Dresses in High Street stores are cut for an ideal figure i.e. no account taken for a gal's bust needing a larger size dress than her hips do and vice versa.

Shopping for clothes always depresses me and always has. That's why I have very few outfits!
