Does anyone else struggle dressing for their body shape?

Part of me thinks I shouldn't care because of the whole body positive thing but I have a really unattractive body shape; one that is often mocked and derided in the media and real life. It's often been commented on negatively so I don't really want to wear anything that is going to draw attention to it.

I have literally found one dress style that suits me and that's it. But I'd really like to wear something different sometimes 😕

Anyone else?

Your figure sounds great op the problem is that fashion isn't very flattering to your shape at the moment which is why you feel frumpy.

I have an hourglass shape, although I am fair bit taller than you which helps, I wear a lot of belted dresses, or fitted tea/midi dresses from Zara mostly. I actually prefer to wear baggy non-fitted clothes, but they make me look massive so I have to embrace a more fitted look.

Bravissimo designs their clothes based on 3 different levels of curve. Lovely clothes.
