Our clothing

Hi all~

I have found that I'm getting more uncomfortable in close fitting clothing. I am sensitive to to the fabric touching me too much. I feel as though I look sloppy in the clothing that feels best on me. I even wear sports bras most of the time. Is there a brand or type of clothing line that you find works well for you? I want to look a little stylish, but still not be uncomfortable in my clothes. I just can't bear polyester type fabrics either.
Thanks.

I find I wear baggier clothing too. I too just want to be comfortable. It is no fashion show here.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen

PS It is possible to find loose tops that don't hang... You just have to look around. But I find tee shirts most comfortable.

Yep, me too! NO polyester-type fabrics, nothing slinky or silky (which I still love the look of.) This is because they make me cold - even in July. I just stopped wearing turtlenecks a weeks ago, and am still in a jacket/sweater, unless I'm in the car in the sun. No, I'm not in Greenland or Alaska! Strange, I know!

And nothing form-fitting at all. Most of the year, I find baggy corduroys to be the most comfortable, and cotton, long-sleeved t-shirts or, again, turtlenecks.

Summer is more of a challenge. I'm not baring my thighs or upper arms, so to find lighter-weight stuff that covers these up is really hard. (Of course, if it gets REALLY hot, I don't care...) I love second-hand stores because I'm cheap, but it's so hard on my body to push apart the packed-tight clothes on the LONG racks. (sigh) Can't anything just be easy? Aging is hard enough, but adding fibro just makes it that much harder.

I think some Alfred Dunner clothes are nice-looking, and they tend to run a little looser than a lot of brands. But it seems like they're being phased out in some places.

Oh...and I love love love men's tees (the kind that come in a pack) and mens flannel shirts. I find a lot of mens clothing to be more durable and more comfortable. =)
