There are not to expensive and big enough size. I have 42-43 EU. And here is some photos I don't know about Europe, but Payless is a good source for shoes in that range (and larger). Also quite inexpensive (especially if you find a BOGO deal (buy one, get one free)). Maybe there is something like that in your area? I would think your size wouldn't be too hard to find with so many taller women in northern Europe.

I'd suggest trying wedges over heels at first. A bit easier to deal with. Then once you figure that out, trying a half-inch or inch heel won't be as bad. As for the sizes...it's tough. I'm not sure what to suggest because I can still find larger women's shoes pretty easily that fit fine. 9 hours ago, Kimmie. said: And here is some photos Hey, that's pretty great!

Because the more i look and think about it, it looks a bit to big maybe. And thank for the till tip it was wedge sneakers that i was thinking of. I don't like the standard heel show that much.But i will maybe learn to like that to in the future. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because the more i look and think about it, it looks a bit to big maybe. Yeah, I think I agree with that. It's tough to get those kinds of things right. I'm not sure how you were doing it, proper breast forms, or something else, but I'm actually of the mind that a simple padded bra will actually do a much better job on its own. Your chest will appear smaller, but it'll basically always look "right" because if the bra fits you, the cup size basically has to be proportional to that. It's ok if you don't actually fill it out. Get the closest size you can, even if it's an A cup. How do I know this works? I started wearing a padded sports bra before I even had actual breasts. Oh, and please, please let me know if you don't want my suggestions, I promise I won't be offended. I just have a lot of knowledge about this stuff and you seem to be receptive and inquisitive about it. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And ofcourse i listen to you, you actually know what you are talking about. It would just be stupid of to not listen. And how i do the chest: well it may sound stupid but i read something like this in a add for something. Rice stuffed stockings. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rice stuffed stockings. No no, not stupid. In that case, I modify my suggestion to also recommend considering a set of actual breast forms, again, if that's what you want, and if it'll help you. Unfortunately, I don't know anything more about breast forms other than they are a thing that exists. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emma-can Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I like my body shape, and my hair (even though it's tangled AF), and my eyes. I wish I was taller though and sometimes I wish my boobs were bigger but sometimes I like that their small cuz I can just...not wear a bra. Or hide them almost completely under loose clothes. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're perfect for leggings, especially if you're like me and a little more self conscious about the crotch area. Actually, my next sewing project is an adorable sleeveless tunic with a raised collar. Was really struggling to find the right fabric for it, but I think I finally have it nailed down. 3 hours ago, emma-can said: but sometimes I like that their small cuz I can just...not wear a bra.

daveb Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I agree that wedges are easier to walk and stand in than standard high heels. Basically, the less surface area you have touching the ground the less stability you have. So stilettos with their very small tip touching the ground can be trickier than a thicker high heel, which can be trickier than wedges. But practice helps. Of course, the surface you're walkign and standing on can affect things, too. Try walking in grass with stilettos! Breast forms are good (a while back my mom offered me the ones she was given by the hospital after having a mastectomy, since she preferred not to wear them. They were new; she had never used them). Another option is what are often referred to as "cutlets" (due to their resemblance to chicken cutlets). These are silicone pads, similar to breast forms, but made more for enhancing what a woman already has. Therefore they are smaller, not full forms. And generally much cheaper. But a good first option to try out. I also agree that tunics are great with leggings. I would almost say they are a must. You can also use regular dresses the same way, as a top to go over leggings. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kimmie. Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thank you everyone you are all super awesome. It is interesting that that i actually have got more positive comments on my looks on this site then i ever have before combined. Can have to do with the fact that i now finnaly have open up myself and realized who i really am inside. And i NEED some wedge sneakers they looks so great. Looked around a bit they where hard to find but when i did heck they are not really cheap. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricki Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I know that you can pick up both breast forms and those silicone things off of amazon for relatively cheap. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie. Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If i will get anything like that it will probably be from the place that Jayce linked to. They had good prices and was in EU so i don't have to pay for customs. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie. Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Update on the shoe front i have found some ones. But they are either to small or to expensive. The womens shoe sizes seems to stop at 42 EU to and i have 42-43 based on model and brand.

It's one of my favourite things, and I am bloody awful When I was a kid in school and we had any sort of singing going on they would tell me to mouth the words. They also made me play the instruments that were hardest to screw up and/or had the smallest role in any music. So I learned long ago that I am not musically inclined, and was not encouraged in any musical endeavor. Basically had any inclinations I might possibly have had in that realm extinguished. It wasn't just the teachers either. I learned that my tastes in music weren't cool. I even got out of taking music in junior high because I had too much on my schedule and music got dropped from it. On the positive side, I did have an older person in my life in my late teens who was very musical and encouraged my tastes in music regardless of what anyone else might think. It was because of that person that I came to "own" my tastes in music and enjoy it. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
