'I feel so self conscious when I dress up. Overalls are great - they make you invisible'
Kerrie Keeling owner of A Woman's Touch, 31 size 12/14.
'I decided to leave banking when I found myself using phrases like "shifting the goalposts". I'd always loved decorating, so I decided to set up A Woman's Touch, a project management company in the building trade that's staffed exclusively by women. I expected a negative reaction from other builders, but I'm accepted. I love my overalls, but the smallest you can buy have a 36in waist, so I hoist them up with scarves. It's also hard tp find steel-toe cap boots in size 4! I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed being pampered and I wouldn't normally wear something so floaty, but this dress is beautiful.'
