Help help Help me please pick out an outfit for my daughters communion.

[Darbyroo]

My daughter’s communion is next week and I have yet to find clothes that fit me or look any bit nice or flattering. I am a size 16 I have recently lost a stone but I do not feel or look any better. I have large thighs and stomach and an overhang from my c section. I have no idea how to dress my body or what to get and It’s really getting me down. Everything I try is so horrible on my body it’s making me not want to go. Does anyone have any ideas or inspo for me please.

Just seen that no one has replied and I feel for you. My suggestion would be smart trousers and loose flowing top? You haven't much time and am guessing it's next weekend. Maybe take along someone you trust this weekend to go clothes shopping with you or ask in somewhere like John Lewis if you gave one near for a personal shopper which is free to help? Otherwise maybe a loose fitting maxi dress maybe.

Please go to your daughters communion. It would be a shame for you to miss it. Size 16 isn't that big. Hope some other posters come along with some advice. Really hope you find something you feel happy in and that you enjoy the day.

What's your usual style? Bold colours? Patterns? Pastels?

Well done for losing a stone, I know how difficult it is.
Have you been trying on dresses with shapewear underneath? They can make a huge difference to how the dress looks. I like the full body ones with straps that come down over my thighs.
Do you like any of the dresses in this article? If there are one or two you like it could give us ideas of your style etc to help you with suggestions.

Thank you so much ladies for yere comments and lovely words. This is the dress I ordered after ye all giving me inspiration. Hopefully it will look nice on I’m afraid it’s a bit of a winter dress but covering my arms and most of my legs is a must for me. Thanks so much everyone
