Sarah’s story
Plus Size 24
It’s
a rare sunny spring day and I’m off to Brighton to chat with Sarah Anderson
one of my plus size 24 customers. Sarah is a mum of four, twins Lilly and
Polly age 8 Gavin age 11 and Richard age 16. Sarah and husband Andrew live
with the children in a wonderful old thatched farm house in Rottingdean.
Sarah is a 43 year old lawyer who works three days a week in Hove. I want to
ask her what items she feels are needed to go into the perfect wardrobe for
a plus size 24 girl.
We are treating ourselves to a spa day at the Metropole Hotel. Sarah and I
are both normally ardent foodies which probably accounts for my plus size 20
and her plus size 24 figure. But once again we are on a new regime and
getting it kick started with a day of pampering at the spa.

Sarah you look GORGOUS I just don’t know how you do it with the children,
working and Andrew travelling all the time.
Sarah Well I have to say you look
wonderful yourself and you’ve just got out of the car - not a crease on you.
How was your journey?
Leanda Horrendous as usual
but worth every moment to see you. Right, I’ve got my not pad out, my
readers want to know all about how and where a busy mum and carer woman who
is a size 24 get her wardrobe together.
Sarah O.K. let’s talk about how
first. I’m really boringly organised. I always change my cupboards over from
spring/summer in March and to autumn/winter in September. I also give away
or recycle a piece every time I buy something new.
Of course I’ve got staples that work all year round, for example
Elena Grunert trousers. Then I make a divide
between work/evening wear and fun relaxing things for my days with the kids.
Leanda How do you dress for work?
Sarah As I’m one of the directors I need to wear conventional business
dressed my favourite pieces are by
Marina Rinaldi.
Leanda and the week-end?
Sarah Andrew and I, when we can we
escape for a week end to London we both love all the arts and especially the
theatre and concerts. When I’m not working I’m a completely different
person. I can’t wait to shed my strict business persona. My other look has
an altogether a more artistic and bohemian feel to it. I’ve recently
discovered
Anna Scholz.
Leanda I love how you put yourself
together and I admire how organised you are my only observation is that I
would like to try and join your two personas together. I feel that you can
let your clients and work colleagues see more of your creative side, try
splitting one of your suits by wearing the jacket over an Anna Scholz silk
print dress. In addition I recommend you have a look at a fabulous German
collection,
Wille, whose
business suiting is fluid and comfortable their designs would work in all
aspects of your life.
Sarah Thank you so much, and now I
cant wait to loosen up. So what’s first on the menu seaweed wrap or massage
with hot stones?
