Are you a retail chain, mail order, online store or simply an independent fashion boutique who specialises in providing clothing for ladies with specific requirements relating to their body shape?

Dear Chantelle,
I was so impressed with your succinct and comprehensive advice with packing for an Asian Summer Holiday I thought I’d try my luck in getting it just right for my holiday in the Adriatic this summer.
I have been lucky enough to be invited on board an 80ft yacht for two weeks in late August. My partner and I fly into Venice and after a short time there we will meet the boat to flit down the Dalmatian Coast, around the ‘boot’, perhaps Sicily and on to Rome with a two-day party stop in Dubai on the way back.
I’m really aware of the necessity to pack light for the boat but I also want to look stylish and have some options on-shore. To exacerbate the issue I’m very curvy (a bit plump) and white as a (very Scottish freckle-y) sheet. And I’ve got canckles!!
Fashion agony is a given, without some judicious advice.
Thanking you in advance,
Sarah – by email

I love skinny jeans and I also like the looks you can recreate with them but it doesn’t necessarily mean I look or feel good in them …

Hi Chantelle,
You have been so generous with my past agonies (and all others). I hope you
can help me with my ultimate dilemma!
I am planning my first 3-week trip to Asia this August, and am *terrified*
of the sweltering hot/humid/wet weather!!! The itinerary is more touristy
than backpacker, and will include exploring big cities, walking about
famous national landmarks, eating lots of amazing food, and visiting more
conservative locales.
The tentative plan is Hong Kong, China, Thailand and Japan. Ideally
everything should fit into a standard carry-on, to minimize en route lost
luggage headaches and transport aches. I leave in about 2 months.
What should I pack? What can I buy when I get there? (BTW, I am UK 6/8,
162.5cm, flat on top, curvy on bottom, 36-37 shoe). Blending in would be
great (I am Vietnamese/Anglo, though people assume half-Japanese, among
others). However, projecting a respectful yet stylish image as a guest is
more important.
I feel so overwhelmed, but excited nonetheless.
Thanks again for all your help, I look forward to viewing your site every
morning!

Hi Chantelle,
Can you help? I have always worn low slung hipster jeans up until now. I am a typical pear shape and am relatively in proportion. I have noticed that there a lot more high-waisted trousers on the high street, which have been told should suit me and I have tried a few versions but have found they look hideous ... Can you suggest where to try and which style should suit me best?
Any help would be much appreciated!
