Since I started this business from scratch 4.5 years ago, I have seen every wardrobe dilemma under the sun and I am going to be blunt about two of them.

First up, tight leggings aren’t trousers. I know they are comfy when you are putting the bins out or lounging on the sofa with a biscuit, but when you head out to meet a friend for coffee, they often end up showing way more than you intended.

Then there is the tent issue. We have all been there, grabbing the biggest, most oversized tops we can find because we want to hide a tummy or our arms. But the reality is that oversized tops look like tents. They don’t hide the areas you are worried about, they actually make you look twice the size you are because they drown your shape entirely.

You do not need to hide under a gazebo to feel good. Finding a fabric that skims rather than clings is the secret to not feeling like a stranger when you catch your reflection in the chemist window.

after four and a half years of sourcing clothes for women like us, I now know the styles that suit midlife women.

Most shops design for a mannequin with no soft areas, then just scale the pattern up. It does not work for a body that has lived.

You do not need more fabric everywhere. You need a cut that understands where a woman actually carries her weight.

I look for styles that skim the parts we hate and celebrate the parts we love, because life is too short to feel like a stranger in your own skin.

In the 4.5 years since I started this business from absolutely nothing, I have seen hundreds of women blame their own bodies for a bad outfit day.

You think your tummy is too big or your arms are the issue, so you buy a size up just to make sure the fabric won’t touch you.

But here is the shift. It isn’t about hiding. When I source pieces for my boutique, I favour the Made in Italy brand - the cut and the fabric are perfect for the midlife woman’s body - floaty one size pieces than can be contoured to fit all body shapes and sizes.

One of my regulars, RC, told me she finally felt stylish again because the quality actually held its shape instead of clinging to every curve she was trying to mask. When the clothes do the work, you can finally stop apologising for existing in a midlife body. I would much rather you be comfortable without tugging at your middle.

No one is more gutted than a woman in her fifties when trying on holiday clothes that don’t fit.

I used to agree when people said it was just part of getting older, but standing there with a pair of linen trousers stuck at your thighs feels like a personal insult.
Selecting that same loose black tunic from the wardrobe for the third time this week because it’s the only thing that hides your tummy.

Buying a size up just so the fabric won’t touch your middle and feeling completely defeated at the till.

It is the frantic hunt for a long cardigan to cover your bum before you feel brave enough to open the front door.

You aren’t difficult to dress, you’ve just been trying to clothe a version of yourself that doesn’t live here anymore.

I’ve spent 4.5 years building this business from nothing, but I’d rather lose the sale than let you walk away with a top that doesn’t look quite right.

If the shape of a dress doesn’t quite look right or the length of it makes you feel frumpy, I’m going to tell you.

If a top doesn’t sit right on the bust area or accentuates the tummy area, we’re putting it back on the rail.

I’ve watched too many women stand in front of the mirror and immediately pull their clothes away from their middle so it doesn’t cling. Life is far too short to spend your afternoon tugging at a hem or worrying about your side profile.

You aren’t here to fit into my clothes. My clothes are here to fit the woman you are right now, even if she looks a bit different to the one you remember from ten years ago.

If it isn’t a flat-out yes, it’s a no. I’ll be the one to say it first.

I’ve spent 4.5 years building this boutique from nothing, and in that time, I’ve seen hundreds of women arrive at the same pear shaped crossroads.

One lady came to me recently feeling completely defeated by her wardrobe.
She wanted to look nice for a lunch out but felt like a stranger in her own skin, especially when it came to her tummy and thighs.

We looked at the rails and I suggested she move away from those structured trousers that were digging in. The turning point was a pair of our magic trousers and a soft cotton top that we could contour.

One size is great for this exact reason, it skims where you want it to and gives you a bit of breathing room without looking like a sack.

She messaged me later to say she finally felt stylish again, instead of just feeling covered up. It is lovely seeing someone stop dressing for the woman they used to be and start enjoying the one they are right now.

I get it!
It is exhausting work, trying to camouflage a body that has simply changed with age.

It is okay to stop the tugging and the hiding, and it is definitely okay to want to feel like yourself again without needing a tent to do it.

After four and a half years of building this business from a pile of boxes in my living room, I have seen every version of the dressing room panic there is.

Stop buying a size up just to stop the fabric touching your skin. The extra material actually makes you feel wider, so look for a top that can be easily French tucked and contoured and that skims rather than swaddles your body shape.

If you are worried about your tummy, swap your low-rise jeans for a high-waisted wide leg with at least 2 percent elastane. It holds you in and feels comfy too.

Ditch the thin jersey tops that cling to the tops of your arms. A heavier weight cotton or a fluted sleeve gives you shape and structure where you actually want it.

You do not need a new body, just a better way to dress the one you have when you are heading out for brunch.

You’ve spent years buying massive, tent like tops just to hide away, but they always end up making you feel twice the size when you’re just trying to nip to the chemist or meet a friend for a coffee.

I remember one lady who had virtually given up on wearing anything pretty, thinking she had to wear plain, heavy sacks to cover herself up.

We tried a different approach with a cotton lace sleeve top, where the delicate lace covers the tops of your arms and the length glides over your tummy without sticking to a single bit of you.

Seeing her face change when she realised she didn’t have to hide under a mountain of fabric was everything, she walked out with her shoulders back for the first time in ages.

Turns out you don’t need more fabric, you just need it to hit in the right places so you can feel more like you again!
