Hi guys, I've just signed up and I've got to say…this seems to be a cracking forum.

My weight's varied quite a bit over the past year or two and this suit is rather oversized now. I was wondering what alterations you think could be carried out to get a better fit…..or is it best just to forget about this particular one!?


PS excuse the crumpled shirt, I'm off on holiday this week so just through one on from the laundry basket!

Oh and I can't seem to embed images here. Is there a minimum post count on this forum?
