Do you think the baggy, shapeless, oversized clothing trend is flattering?

I’m 5 11, size 14/16

I used to like you

Really surprised to hear some of you loving pockets, I really dislike pockets in dresses, what on earth do you put in them?

Phones, keys, suncream? Paracetamol just in case?
Tissues which then get into the washing machine?

I've never had a dress with pockets , I have enough bulges as it is.
In fact, I haven't worn a dress for years either

I bet that you aren’t a fan of Gudren Sjoden (sp?)

They look like pantomime dames!

Reminded me of Ronald McDonald. ?

I haven’t noticed but then again I’m not going out much too notice. My nearest large town is 35miles away plus I have no need for clothes n all honesty.

I love this look, comfortable, ignores the waist - and I have had white trainers well blinged for the last two years.

What I hate is anything waisted or fitting. except trousers, and there I do prefer narrow legged trousers. I have never had a waist, my hip bones are roughly at waist level. However, I am long in the leg, so can get away with clothes like this

BlueBelle, your's is by far the nicest I've seen on here. By far! Who cares about designer tags when you can achieve that look.

My favourite summer dress, well placed darts at the bust for a good fit, midi length on the model, maxi length on me! It skims nicely without cling.

Yes I wear trainers or hiking sandals with it as I can’t walk in anything else.

I like that.

I also like the pattern cocoon.
But alas I can't sew.
Do you take orders Trish?

This is my lovely dress from Taking Shape. Slightly fitted at the top but skims over the rest. It’s bamboo and feels and looks gorgeous on. I’ve had quite a few things from the site and it’s difficult to find clothes in my size {over 16) that aren’t frumpy!

I love loose dresses. I feel good in them. It’s all about how one feels in clothes.

The main thing to wear to look fabulous is confidence. If you’re happy and at ease it shows.

I've got a baggy, shapeless, over-sized body.........

Same here Howverydareyou I'll stick to whatever I feel comfortable in. Now it's mainly trousers and loose shirts. Never wear jumpers or heavy tops as I get too hot.

Love baggy clothes at my age I don’t dress up for anyone. I can always use a belt and f I need to. I just don’t wear anything smart. I had enough when working.

Frankly for those of us (present company excepted) who are pretty baggy and shapeless underneath- big and baggy is perfect, hiding the proverbial multitude of sins.

I think you have to be reasonably tall (5' 4" and over) to wear some of the baggy styles; I am only 5' and look ridiculous in baggy stuff. I am a size 8 at the bottom, but unfortunately have large boobs, so a size 10/12 at the top. Separates are better for me, and fitted clothes are more flattering (not skin tight or 'bodycon' though!) - clothes shopping is a nightmare at he moment as so many styles are loose and baggy. My favourite casual look is slim jeans (not skinny), breton striped top and navy blazer, with white trainers or navy loafers.

It should be the law that all dresses have pockets.

Love a dress with pockets but they are always the pockets I forget to empty before the wash

Yes, I love the pockets too.
And the cotton fabric is lovely

Yes Fanny it is. I have a few of their shift dresses, I love that they have pockets, and as they’re slightly stretchy I can just pull them on over my head without bothering to undo any buttons.

That’s from Weird Fish isn’t it?
I’ve got a few dresses by them, but they are currently too small.
I wore them to work with leggings and hotter boots

I like oversize look - especially from COS. I've got a sweatshirt dress which is soo comfortable.

I noticed that too Callistemon
I’m dreadful too.
I loathe having my photo taken.
