I didn’t wear dresses for years as I had never found any that suited me. I am 5ft 6ins tall, weigh 10.7 stone and wear a size 14. I have big boobs and hips. Basically I look like a sack of spuds tied up in the middle wearing the majority of dresses.
That all changed when I started cruising and decided that I needed to buy dresses. I basically spent a whole day with a friend going around shops and trying on different styles until - joy of joys - I found ‘my’ style. I can look slim, smart and elegant in my style - a knee length, shift or tunic dress - straight up and down, scoop neck, no v-necks as they make the boobs look like they’re round my waist (a decent, well fitting bra is essential). Preferably a bit loose fitting or stretchy as tight is uncomfortable.
This has made such a difference and I now own lots of dresses, both casual and formal. I buy most of them off eBay - as I know what to go for - and pay silly amounts, such as £10 for gorgeous things from Wallis, Monsoon, Per Una, Debenhams Collection etc.
If you buy something inexpensive off eBay and it doesn’t fit or suit you it is easy to resell. I’ve often done this and even made a small profit!
Just persevere and you will find a style that suits you
