In the UK I mostly shopped in Next and I`m missing it dearly. So far I`ve only found Meyers, but they`re petite is 5ft 4ins and I`m only 5ft !! I`m looking for casual to smart, trendy but not teenage. Can anyone help ? I`m not great with the needle and thread and alterations would be expensive, but soon I won`t have anything to wear !! Waiting in anticipation Teresa

I'll let in on a secret - I sometimes buy kids clothing over here !!! Especially black trousers and jackets !!! DOn't tell anyone.. I'll get embarassed. Sometimes I buy 3/4 lenght trousers and these suffice as normal length for me :rolleyes: Good luck Vrinda

In the meantime I have put on 2st and she had put on 2lb. Women complain about having kids and putting on weight - what about men!! Thanks for the replies. Please keep them coming as the desire for Next in Australia is getting monotonous. Ian (never fashionable and proud of it) :D
