Help me find something flattering! Depressing shopping day :(

[positively9something]

I went shopping for an outfit to wear out this weekend for my birthday, I tried on so many dress which were unflattering.

I am 5'2 size 12 big hips, un toned tummy small waist and 34d bar size.

Waist is around 30 inches (looks small compared to hips) hips are around 40 inches, quite big thighs ( wow I sound wonderful don't I?)

Can you recommend something flattering?

I am going to be 29 and am often told I look young so I don't want to me dressed in older / frumpy clothes help

I take it you meant to post in Style and Beauty rather than Relationships?

You need something structured that nips in at the waist and glides over your bottom half. Try tea dresses or a plain skirt with a busy top.

Boden is good for structured dresses as is joules. Go somewhere higher end high street and get them to help you. I personally love Hobbs but can only justify their factory shop or eBay.

You've got to pick your best bit and make the most. I'm 31, the opposite shape to you. Hate rest of my body but legs are ok so get them out a lot.
