Got my size 14 trousers they are the shops that I work for. I normally wear a 14 for my bottoms and the 14’s I have rn for work are falling off me. I tried these on and my bum and thighs aren’t bursting out of them but they r defo too tight for the job I need to do (bending over crouching) the only problem is the 16 will need sorting the waist on the 14 is too big as it is (I got a belly but the back is tooo gappy if that makes sense. this is the second day I’m not gonna be wearing the trousers (left them at work on the first day) and I’m scared she will be angry at me idk her personality give me the ‘wow K your so dumb already’ she not yelled at me or mentioned my trouser but I’m anxious to ask for a 16 incase she’s angry I wear a 16 top cause I like it baggy but Yh just need to vent. I don’t think it’s my body that making me anxious I’m more anxious of disappointing or angering her you know. I’ve been doing well at the job or so I’ve been told and haven’t been told off as of yet so I’m hoping she will take it okay uuuuugh the more I dwell the more I have anxiety.

I don’t think she’ll get mad when you ask for the size you need. I know that if I were her I would rather have you comfortable and wearing the uniform. Besides all brands and pants fit differently, it’s not like you could have known that they wouldn’t fit right. Have a good day at work, don’t stress about it and tell her you need a different pair.

I am sure everything will be okay. You may be worrying about something that may never happen. I am sure that you are a good worker. The days are filled with so much beauty, don't dwell on something that may not come to pass. Just simply bring the problem to her and leave it there. Know that you are a good worker and you just need another pair of pants. You need to be comfortable to work, and if she gets angry, you just put it in a positive way back to her. " Just say, I want to be the best that I can be doing my work, I want to be productive while I am here, and these pants may get in the way of my production." Just let her know that it is more about you wanting to do for her and the company you work for. It will all work out fine. There is a way to present these things, so that people respond in a better way than what we expect. Just let her know it is because you want her to get the best and maximum production out of you and the pants don't fit right and if you have a bigger pair it will be more comfortable for you to do that.

Just tell her that splitting your trousers at work would not be a good look! x
