Hi Chantelle,
I absolutely love your no nonsense, never failing fashion advice on holiday wardrobes - in fact I would go as far as to say I have practically turned it into a mantra!
As a new mummy my time is limited but I still like a bit of glamour and style. I’m 28, a size 12 and 5ft 9 and facing a challenge which is bringing me out in a cold sweat. I am relocating to Singapore with my husbands work and need a capsule wardrobe to last at least 8 weeks before the rest of my clothes arrive. I have never been to Singapore before, but from what I gather it is extremely hot, humid and rains at least once a day!
Please help me become a yummy mummy xxx

I don’t know why I’m sharing this with you - maybe its some sort of subconsious therapy in a bid to permanently dislodge it from my memory, but I want to tell you about my worst fashion disaster.

Hello Lidia,
I’m going to a wedding in May and have been trying to find something suitable. It in a very posh venue so I need something that looks expensive!
I’ve seen lots of lovely dresses around but alas I have shapeless legs and just cannot get away with it even with tights and very high shoes!
I am definitely pear shaped, size 10 on the bottom and 8 on top so all the wide leg and high waist trousers around at the moment make me look very bottom heavy.
I’ve been trawling the Internet, walking miles and miles around the shops but cannot seem to find anything to suit my shape or that caters for all weather prospects! I’ve a budget of around £250-300.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Help! I’m going to a wedding in the Scottish Highlands Easter weekend. While I won’t be required to go outside, so no worries about being too cold, I do have a lot of other, um, issues.
I’ve got 36D boobs, no waist, but quite nice legs and a reasonably small ass. I’m 34 and don’t want to appear as mutton dressed as lamb, but nor do I wish to look middle-aged. I am NOT girlie in any way and do not want to wear frills, flowers, pastels, satin or sequins. In any case, none of these things do anything for my shape at all. Finally, I’m going with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate a dear friend’s wedding and am not there to pick anyone up or be picked up by anyone, so no cleavage or anything too short.
Short of wearing my work suit or a bin liner, I can’t think of a damn thing.
Can anyone offer any advice? I’m reaching desperation point!
Thanks
Alison

Hi Chantelle,
I have been invited to my very best friend’s civil partnership ceremony in October ... I know, I know it’s only January but already I am panicking!
I am roughly five foot seven, long brown hair, size ten on the top and a small twelve on the bottom ... the bridesmaids are wearing off white trouser suits and burgundy tops underneath so I think a trouser suit is out but I don’t want to be a screaming girly girl in a prom dress either!
The wedding is in a castle so lots of outdoor windy photos so I don’t want to be wearing anything that will blow open/up/off/down! I am getting myself totally confused and would love some help!
I think my budget can stretch to around £150-£200 at a push and as I am in West Wales it needs to be all internet available!
Please, can you help me?
