No, I'm sorry, but I don't think that is flattering.

If I saw you in it I would honestly assume you'd had it years and it was picked up in Primark. It doesn't hang well or look like nice fabric. It has nothing going for it at all. You are perfectly fine btw!

You're nice and slim. That is shapeless.

Empire line type dresses if you have a tummy or nice shift dresses.
Or more tight fitting but with the pleating etc.. around the tummy area.
This though, is not flattering, sorry.

I'd guess you were 14-16 maybe and agree it's not doing you any favours.

Ruddy awful. Get a nice empire line frock. Try Monsoon, Laura Ashley, Debenhams, Mango.

Def send it back. It doesn't flatter.

It's not even nice on the model. Unforgiving fabric, try something more structured with a broad waistband. Wrap dresses are great for tummies too.

I have this dress, it does nothing for you, this is true, but it doesn't mean it is a bad dress, because mine (in navy) looks pretty good on me. I have the winter one (burgundy) as well.

Sorry, another one who thinks it does nothing for you. You can do much better! And I'd guess size 14?

It doesn't look that bad from the front. I'd say you're a 12?

12-14

You need a dress that doesn't tuck in under the stomach. That dress is a shite design. Short skater or straight up and down slouchier one would work better.

Don't do empire line with pleating. They do nothing for anyone.

You're absolutely fine, the dress is absolutely fine, the combination is disastrous.
